Improves FIPS compliance with new advanced ciphers and internal audits.
Features
All Editions
- All FIPS-compliant editions have undergone thorough internal audits, and new advanced ciphers have been added. There are language edition and OS platform considerations for FIPS compliance.
.NET Edition
- Added a new async version of the API designed to support asynchronous programming (async/await) for all operations.
- Cross-platform .NET editions now support Microsoft .NET Core 3.1 and .NET 5/6. This opens .NET development not only on Microsoft Windows, but also Linux and Apple macOS.
- Access to runtime licenses for .NET editions has been improved making it easier to install via NuGet or for non-Windows platforms to obtain a license. License keys can be set in code, facilitating use on non-Windows systems.
C++/Qt

Delphi Edition
- Cross-platform development on Microsoft Windows, Linux and Apple macOS is now supported using Firemonkey.
- The component installation location has been changed to the user's Documents folder, and IDE search paths have been updated. During installation, if a previous version exists, you'll be prompted to uninstall it.
