![]() ![]() If you have files you have encrypted with a version of Cryptext older than v2.30, you must decrypt them before installing this new version. **IMPORTANT** This version of Cryptext implements a checksum to prevent accidental decryption of a file with the wrong password, and is *not* compatible with any version of Cryptext prior to v2.30.
