Last night, just after midnight, my RSS reader picked up a notice that the new 5.0 version of TrueCrypt (my favorite cross-platform drive encryption program) is now available. It has several very neat-sounding new features, including the ability to encrypt the system drive (under Windows), a standard GUI under Linux (it only had command-line support under Linux before), a MacOS version, and lots of new features!

I plan to explore the new features further at some point, but the Linux GUI (the only one I’ve tried so far) is pretty neat. 🙂
