1.5.0

Security

• Tamper-proof encrypted files — Files now use an authenticated format that detects any modification, reordering, or truncation and refuses to decrypt altered files.
• Stronger password protection — Increased PBKDF2 key-derivation iterations (250,000 → 600,000) to better resist password brute-forcing.
• XSS protection — Filenames and notification messages are now rendered safely, so a maliciously named file can no longer run code in the page.
• Crafted-file safeguards — Encrypted-file metadata is validated before use, preventing malformed files from freezing your browser.
• Hardened web server — Added a strict Content-Security-Policy, HSTS, and other security headers to the bundled Docker image.

Improvements

• Large file warning — You're now prompted before processing very large files that could exhaust browser memory.
• Reliable clipboard feedback — Generating a password now confirms whether it was actually copied to your clipboard.

Maintenance

• Automated dependency updates — Added Dependabot to keep the Docker base image and CI actions current.
• Build & release fixes — More robust image file permissions and version tagging.

Compatibility: Existing .vault files remain fully decryptable. Files encrypted with 1.5.0 use the new authenticated format and require 1.5.0 or later to decrypt.

1.4.0

Changes:

• Drag & drop zones — Replaced plain file inputs with visual drop zones featuring upload/download icons and browse links.
• File selection feedback — Files display with contextual icons, size info, and a remove button (with fade-in animation).
• Processing state — Encrypt/Decrypt buttons show a spinning indicator and status text while working.
• Toast icons — Notifications now include contextual icons for warning, error, and success types.
• Card hover effects — Subtle box-shadow on card hover; logo glow on brand hover.
