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 Off for small files or when streaming semantics are desired.
  • Hardware acceleration is used automatically when supported by the host CPU and crypto backend.

Installation

Download gfgLock_2.7.0_installer.exe from Releases and run the installer.

Status: Stable
Platform: Windows 10+ (64-bit)


Summary

gfgLock v2.6.9 is the initial public release. It provides multi-algorithm file encryption (AES-256 GCM/CFB, ChaCha20-Poly1305), real-time file logging, theme support, and a compact, responsive GUI focused on secure batch workflows.

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.
  • Logs (frozen app): %APPDATA%\gfgLock\logs\
  • Portable single-file executable available: gfgLock_portable.exe - unsigned

Installation (brief)

Download gfgLock_Setup_2.6.9.exe from Releases and run the installer.

Changelog (condensed)

  • Added: AES-256 GCM, AES-256 CFB, ChaCha20-Poly1305
  • Added: File-based logging and log management
  • Improved: Theme handling and Preferences UX

Known Issues

  • Context menu may behave unexpectedly when many files are selected; use drag & drop or place files in a folder as a workaround.
