Nov 2011 - 1.2 Includes an Important fix to password parsing for spaces and extended chars, plus a new 'passwd' command to change a key's password. Tomb now checks for swap to avoid its usage (see SWAP section in manpage) and warns the user when the tomb is almost full. May 2011 - 1.1 Fixes to mime types, icons and desktop integration. A new 'list' command provides an overview on all tombs currently open. Now a tomb cannot be mounted multiple times, the message console has colors and better messages. Different mount options (like read-only) can also be specified by hand on the commandline. March 2011 - 1.0 Clean and stable. Now passwords are handled exclusively using pinentry. Also support for steganography of keys (bury and exhume) was added to the commandline. Commandline and desktop operations are well separated so that tomb can be used via remote terminal. A new command 'slam' immediately closes a tomb killing all processes that keep it busy. February 2011 - 0.9.2 The tomb-open wizard now correctly guides you through the creation of new tombs and helps when saving the keys on external USB storage devices. The status tray now reliably closes its tomb. February 2011 - 0.9.1 Sourcecode cleanup, debugging and testing. Integrated some feedback after filing Debian's ITP and RFS. January 2011 - 0.9 Tomb is now a desktop application following freedesktop standards: it provides a status tray and integrates with file managers. The main program has been thoroughly tested and many bugs were fixed. August 2010 The first usable version of Tomb goes public among hacker friends During the year 2009 Tomb has been extensively tested, perfectioned and documented after being used by its author Sometime in 2007 mknest was refactored to work on the Debian distribution and since then renamed to Tomb. dyne:bolic specific dependencies where removed, keeping Zsh as the shell script it is written with. Back in 2005 The "nesting" feature of dyne:bolic GNU/Linux lets users encrypt their home in a file, using a shell script and a graphical interface called Taschino. Taschino included a shell script wrapping cryptsetup to encrypt loopback mounted partitions with the algo AES-256 (cbc-essiv mode): this script was called 'mkNest' and its the ancestor of Tomb.
