VeraCrypt_1.0e

VeraCrypt 1.0e is out with many security fixes and performance enhancements. Download for Windows is here. As usual, a MacOSX version is available. It supports MacOSX 10.6 and above and it requires OSXFUSE 2.3 and later(https://osxfuse.github.io/). MacFUSE compatibility layer must checked during OSXFUSE installation.
Also a Linux version is available.The package contains the installation scripts for 32-bit and 64-bit versions, and for GUI and console-only version (choose which script is adapted the best to your machine).

The SHA2 sums of the files and their pgp signature is available in the Sourceforge download section for this release.

Changes between 1.0d and 1.0e (04 September 2014) :

• Correct most of the security vulnerabilities reported by the Open Crypto Audit Project.
• Correct security issues detected by Static Code Analysis, mainly under Windows.
• Correct issue of unresponsiveness when changing password/key file of a volume. Reduce overall time taken for creating encrypted volume/partition.
• Minor fixes (look at git history for more details).
