VeraCrypt 1.26.x update: recent fixes and request for SourceForge priorities

Hello everyone,

I resumed active work on VeraCrypt this week and I have pushed several fixes and build improvements since then. Most of this recent work came from GitHub reports and pull requests, so I also want to make sure that important issues reported here on SourceForge are not missed before the next VeraCrypt 1.26.x release.

Recent changes include:

• Windows: fixed a hibernation crash on fresh Windows 11 25H2 installations.
• Windows: fixed a ghost drive letter remaining visible in Explorer after command-line dismount.
• Windows: fixed MSI traveler disk creation with WHQL-signed drivers.
• Windows: fixed ARM64 MSI build support.
• Linux: added support for building against FUSE3.
• Linux: fixed handling of nokernelcrypto during external formatting.
• macOS: improved FUSE-T auxiliary mount handling.
• macOS: fixed local ARM64 build issues affecting Volume.a.
• Build system: handled removed wxWidgets configure options and fixed wxWidgets 3.3.2 build issues.
• GUI: fixed the erroneous 2 TiB limit for hidden file containers in the volume creation wizard.
• GUI: improved mouse entropy collection in Linux/macOS dialogs and wizard pages.
• Setup: fixed an incorrect tooltip caused by a bad translation key.
• Translations: updated the Romanian language file.
• Documentation: fixed README documentation links.

The upcoming 1.26.x release is intended to focus on important fixes and low-risk improvements.

If you know of SourceForge tickets, forum reports or tasks that should be considered for this release, please reply with the link and a short explanation of why it should be prioritized.

I cannot promise that every item will make it into the next release, especially if it requires large or risky changes, but I would like to review the most important SourceForge-reported issues before finalizing the 1.26.x update.

Thank you for your continued help.

Hi brother,
When will Argon2id support UEFI disk encryption?

Hi Mounir, not sure if this is planned in the near future, but I was able to successfully build and test Veracrypt with argon2 support on Linux. I was using Arch with kernel 6.19, and only tested encrypted containers.

Thank you

Is this a merge with 1.26.27 BETA Released 2025/9/20 or separate build and does not include these fixes too?

Looking forward to Argon2id support in the Linux version of VeraCrypt.
