Release notes

Newest first.

0.1.0 November 6, 2026

• The Android version is now on Google Play.
• First public release.
• Create and extract password-protected (AES-256) ZIPs, with every password kept in a ledger.
• Password-protect PDFs.
• Identify files by their content, not their extension.
• A command-line version (vault-zip-cli) for automation.
• The screens are available in Japanese and English (switch it in the settings).
• A new icon.
• The portable version can also run with no passphrase.
• Password fields have an eye icon to show or hide what you typed.
• A ZIP that holds a single item is extracted without a folder named after it (you can turn this off in the settings).

Update of November 8, 2026 (build 4)

• Settings are now in 11 groups by what you want to do. On phones you pick a group from a list, and you can search the settings. Settings that are rarely changed are under "Advanced".
• You can choose, item by item, what the right-click and right-drag menus show (Windows, Linux).
• The right-drag menu has "Compress each here" (Windows).
• An archive that contains links (symbolic links and the like) is no longer refused: everything else is extracted, the links are not created, and they are listed.
• Android: fixed the app sometimes not opening from the share menu. PDF encryption now takes files up to 128 MB.
