gfgLock v2.7.0 — Release Notes
Release Date: December 21, 2025
Version: 2.7.0
Status: Stable
Platform: Windows 10+ (64-bit)
Summary
gfgLock v2.7.0 focuses on performance and usability: faster encryption, hardware acceleration where available, and a new streamed (non-chunk) mode for special workflows.
Highlights
- Optimized core encryption algorithms for improved throughput and lower CPU overhead.
- Added hardware acceleration support (AES-NI) and improved crypto backend detection.
- Added streamed, non-chunk mode (chunk_size: "Off") — useful for small files and streaming scenarios.
- General stability and minor bug fixes.
Notes
- Streamed mode processes data without fixed chunk buffers; use
Offfor small files or when streaming semantics are desired. - Hardware acceleration is used automatically when supported by the host CPU and crypto backend.

Major Highlights
- Multi-algorithm encryption: AES-256 GCM (
.gfglock), AES-256 CFB (.gfglck), ChaCha20-Poly1305 (.gfgcha) - Real-time, file-based logging with general and critical logs
- Theme support (System/Light/Dark) and live Apply
- Preferences with configurable threads and chunk sizes
Important Notes
- Decryption selects the algorithm automatically based on file extension.
