Scrambler Changelog

What's new in Scrambler 1.3

Oct 31, 2014
  • Fixes visual bugs and adds support for dark mode on OS X Yosemite.

New in Scrambler 1.2.8 (Oct 4, 2014)

  • Signed with a new Developer ID to prevent spurious warnings on OS X 10.9.5 and later.
  • Various minor changes.

New in Scrambler 1.2.6 (Oct 9, 2013)

  • Fixes a menu bar icon problem introduced in version 1.2.4 (compatibility with Bartender, an app by another developer that manages your menu bar items).
  • Fixes some window positioning issues when using multiple displays with OS X Mavericks.

New in Scrambler 1.2.4 (Sep 25, 2013)

  • System requirements increased from 10.7 to 10.7.5.
  • Fixes a bug that occasionally made it unable to drag files on Scrambler.
  • The app now behaves more properly when using Spaces.
  • Various other bug fixes and improvements.

New in Scrambler 1.2.2 (Apr 3, 2013)

  • Fixes a bug where users with Macs running over network drives were not able to properly use the “source folder” feature.
  • Fixes a bug where users could, in some cases, not properly select folders in the open dialog that appears before encryption/decryption.

New in Scrambler 1.2 (Mar 18, 2013)

  • A new, vastly more secure scrambled file format that makes brute-force attacks practically impossible (unless the user chooses a weak password).
  • The new file format also produces more compact files—about 25% smaller.
  • Adds the optional ability to automatically delete the original item(s) after encryption/decryption.
  • A few minor improvements and bug fixes.

New in Scrambler 1.1.8 (Feb 13, 2013)

  • Sandbox support. This technology vastly improves app security and is now recommended by Apple for all Mac apps. For technical reasons, a consequence of this is that if you are currently using Scrambler’s “save in source folder” feature, you have to set it up again through Scrambler’s new Preferences window.
  • Various minor improvements.

New in Scrambler 1.1.6 (Oct 16, 2012)

  • Fixes a bug that in some cases caused an error during decryption.
  • New icons and artwork that are compatible with the retina display.
  • Various underlying bug fixes.

New in Scrambler 1.1.4 (Aug 21, 2012)

  • Fixes a bug that in some cases caused an error/crash when encrypting folders.

New in Scrambler 1.1.2 (May 24, 2012)

  • Fixes a bug that made it unable for some users to launch the app.
  • Some minor internal improvements.

New in Scrambler 1.1 (May 1, 2012)

  • Scrambler 1.1 introduces a brand new feature that was the most highly requested by users:
  • The file size limitation of 250 MB has been removed; users can now encrypt as large files as they want.
  • Other features and improvements in Scrambler 1.1:
  • Adds a progress indicator that shows the percentage completion of the encryption/decryption.
  • Encryption and decryption can now be cancelled during progress.
  • Encryption and decryption are now dramatically more memory-efficient.
  • Fixes a bug that sometimes, in rare cases, made it impossible to decrypt scrambled files.
  • Fixes various other minor bugs.
  • The underlying codebase has been completely reworked to take full advantage of new technologies provided in Mac OS X Lion. For the user, this results in a nice performance boost. For the developer, this provides a great foundation for further improvements.
