# Tomb ChangeLog
## 3.0
### Nov 2022
This release adds optional support for Argon2 KDF brute-force
protection and introduces support for doas as an alternative to sudo
for priviledge escalation. It also improves support for BTRFS
formatted Tombs, adds zram detection as swap memory, updates
documentation and translations and cleans up the script code. There
are no major changes nor bug fixes compared to the previous Tomb
version: the major version increase signals the beginning of a new
development course that goes beyond Linux Tomb and adds Portable Tomb
(WIP) as an alternative and more portable POSIX shell script using
Veracrypt for volume encryption.
## 2.9
### Jan 2021

At present, Linux Tomb consists of a simple shell script (Zsh) using
standard filesystem tools (GNU) and the cryptographic API of the Linux
kernel (cryptsetup and LUKS). Tomb can also produce machine parsable
kernel (cryptsetup and LUKS). It can also produce machine parsable
output to facilitate its use inside graphical applications.
Starting with the 3.0 release path, also a new [Portable Tomb](portable) script
is made available (under development) which works on more operating systems beyond Linux based, is written in POSIX shell, has less dependencies and features and is based on [Veracrypt](https://www.veracrypt.fr) instead of LUKS/cryptsetup.
