<h1>Release Notes</h1>

<p>

<strong>Note to users who created volumes with 1.17 version of VeraCrypt or earlier: </strong><br/>

<span style="color:#ff0000;">To avoid hinting whether your volumes contain a hidden volume or not, or if you depend on plausible deniability when using hidden volumes/OS, then you must recreate both the outer and hidden volumes including system encryption and hidden OS, discarding existing volumes created prior to 1.18a version of VeraCrypt.</span></li>

</p>

<ul>

<li><strong>All OSes:</strong>

<ul>

<li>Added support for SHA-256 x86 intrinsic to enhance the performance of PBKDF2-HMAC-SHA256.</li>

<li>Updated translations</li>

</ul>

</li>

<li><strong>Windows:</strong>

<ul>

<li>Dropped support for Windows 32-bit.</li>

<li>Set Windows 10 October 2018 Update (version 1809) as the minimum supported version.</li>

<li>Reduce driver deadlock occurences under low-memory scenarios caused by re-entrant IRP completions.</li>

<li>Fixed failed EFI detection on some PCs where the BootOrder variable is not defined (proposed by @kriegste, GH #360).</li>

<li>Fixed "Access Denied" error when updating VeraCrypt using EXE setup following a Windows upgrade.</li>

<li>Fixed various issues affecting the EFI system encryption configuration editor.</li>

<li>Fixed regression in Traveler Disk creation (GH #886)</li>

<li>Replaced the deprecated CryptGenRandom with BCryptGenRandom for generating secure random bytes.</li>

<li>Use modern API to gather system entropy for random generation instead of obsolete ones.</li>
