Easy Crypt does not support Truecrypt 5

[Steven Harper]

Truecrypt 5 has now been released

Changes are needed for EasyCrypt to support v5

http://www.truecrypt.org/

EasyCrypt should gracefully support v4.3 and v5.x and possibly (in the info panel) inform the user which they are using.

Truecrypt no longer provided a command line option / switch to create crypts.

until a way of creating a crypt is made available via API's or through the command line, then I am a bit stuck

Hi Steven,

as of yesterday, there is a new version out: Truecrypt 5.1
According to http://www.truecrypt.org/docs/?s=version-history it has command line support for creating new volumes.

I think now it should be possible for Easycrypt to support Truecrypt 5.1, am I wrong?

(Unfortunately, beta freeze for Hardy is quite soon, so I am not sure if a new version would be able to make it into hardy...)

Anyway, great work to far from your side. Keep it on!

.. I meant to say: "so far", not "to far"

You are correct, I am going to look into it tonight / this weekend

This bug is now fixable with TrueCrypt 5.1 - EasyCrypt 0.2.27 in progress

This bug is definitely fixed already, therefore changing the status to Fix Released.
(Just to clean up launchpad a little bit)
