Hello!

Compass 0.4.31 - Security & Trust Fixes

Auto-Update on Launch

  • Compass now silently checks for updates 2.5 seconds after startup
  • If a newer version is available, a modal prompt appears with the version number and release notes
  • Install now downloads and installs immediately; Later dismisses the modal with no further interruption
  • Manual "Check for updates" in the sidebar is unchanged and still works as before

Encryption Documentation Corrected

  • The Security & Privacy FAQ in the README previously stated the database was not encrypted — this was incorrect
  • The database has always been encrypted at rest using SQLCipher (AES-256) since the encrypted backend was introduced
  • The encryption key is a 32-byte random value stored in Windows Credential Manager (DPAPI-backed), bound to your Windows user account
  • A fallback copy is written to compass.key in the app data folder in case Credential Manager loses the entry
  • README now accurately documents both data files (com.compass.app.db and compass.key), what each contains, and that both must be copied together for a complete portable backup
