SHACrypt 1.2.2 released

SHACrypt 1.2.2 is now available for Windows and Linux. Go download the new version!

SHACrypt 1.2.2 fixes various bugs with the GUI (some of which could cause crashes), upgrades the command line help screen to fit in with GNU standards, and adds ShuffleCrypt (which is in the new version 3 of the format).

ShuffleCrypt takes SHACrypt's XOR encryption key generator and uses it to scramble the data (in up to 256-byte chunks). When a file is decrypted, the reverse is done. The ShuffleCrypt key is a randomly generated binary string, and is encrypted along with the contents of the file. Asymmetric encryption works exactly the same way as it did in previous versions.
