Add detection of RDRAND\/RDSEED CPU features. Detect Hygon CPU as AMD one.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li><strong>Windows:<\/strong>\n<ul>\n<li>Implement RAM encryption for keys and passwords using ChaCha12 cipher, t1ha non-cryptographic fast hash and ChaCha20 based CSPRNG.\n<ul>\n<li>Available only on 64-bit machines.<\/li>\n<li>Disabled by default. Can be enabled using option in UI.<\/li>\n<li>Less than 10% overhead on modern CPUs.<\/li>\n<li>Side effect: Windows Hibernate is not possible if VeraCrypt System Encryption is also being used.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li>Mitigate some memory attacks by making VeraCrypt applications memory inaccessible to non-admin users (based on KeePassXC implementation)<\/li>\n<li>New security features:\n<ul>\n<li>Erase system encryption keys from memory during shutdown\/reboot to help mitigate some cold boot attacks<\/li>\n<li>Add option when system encryption is used to erase all encryption keys from memory when a new device is connected to the system.<\/li>\n<li>Add new driver entry point that can be called by applications to erase encryption keys from memory in case of emergency.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li>MBR Bootloader: dynamically determine boot loader memory segment instead of hardcoded values (proposed by neos6464)<\/li>\n<li>MBR Bootloader: workaround for issue affecting creation of hidden OS on some SSD drives.<\/li>\n<li>Fix issue related to Windows Update breaking VeraCrypt UEFI bootloader.<\/li>\n<li>Several enhancements and fixes for EFI bootloader:\n<ul>\n<li>Implement timeout mechanism for password input. Set default timeout value to 3 minutes and default timeout action to \"shutdown\".<\/li>\n<li>Implement new actions \"shutdown\" and \"reboot\" for EFI DcsProp config file.<\/li>\n<li>Enhance Rescue Disk implementation of restoring VeraCrypt loader.<\/li>\n<li>Fix ESC on password prompt during Pre-Test not starting Windows.<\/li>\n<li>Add menu entry in Rescue Disk that enables starting original Windows loader.<\/li>\n<li>Fix issue that was preventing Streebog hash from being selected manually during Pre-Boot authentication.<\/li>\n<li>If \"VeraCrypt\" folder is missing from Rescue Disk, it will boot PC directly from bootloader stored on hard drive\n<ul>\n<li>This makes it easy to create a bootable disk for VeraCrypt from Rescue Disk just by removing\/renaming its \"VeraCrypt\" folder.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li>Add option (disabled by default) to use CPU RDRAND or RDSEED as an additional entropy source for our random generator when available.<\/li>\n<li>Add mount option (both UI and command line) that allows mounting a volume without attaching it to the specified drive letter.<\/li>\n<li>Update libzip to version 1.5.2<\/li>\n<li>Do not create uninstall shortcut in startmenu when installing VeraCrypt. (by Sven Strickroth)<\/li>\n<li>Enable selection of Quick Format for file containers creation. Separate Quick Format and Dynamic Volume options in the wizard UI.<\/li>\n<li>Fix editor of EFI system encryption configuration file not accepting ENTER key to add new lines.<\/li>\n<li>Avoid simultaneous calls of favorites mounting, for example if corresponding hotkey is pressed multiple times.<\/li>\n<li>Ensure that only one thread at a time can create a secure desktop.<\/li>\n<li>Resize some dialogs in Format and Mount Options to fix some text truncation issues with non-English languages.<\/li>\n<li>Fix high CPU usage when using favorites and add switch to disable periodic check on devices to reduce CPU load.<\/li>\n<li>Minor UI changes.<\/li>\n<li>Updates and corrections to translations and documentation.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li><strong>MacOSX:<\/strong>\n<ul>\n<li>Add check on size of file container during creation to ensure it's smaller than available free disk space.
