2010-01-17T06:27:21Z

The entire source for all versions of LockCrypt has now been released under the GPLv2. It's available on CodePlex, and any contributions are welcomed. Just submit a patch.

The Java and J2ME versions haven't been updated in a long time, and I'm more focused on Windows and Windows Mobile development. If anyone can help with maintaining these, your help would be appreciated.

Some of these translations are slightly outdated, but they're all at least 40% complete. If you'd like to help with a translation, please visit the forums at http://forums.lime49.com/
Added links to the documentation to the options window.
When saving a form, all non-empty fields will now be saved by default. This can be changed by clicking the options button when saving.
