v1.13 (Released 5/29/2021)

v1.12.1 (Bug fix patch, released 04/11/2021)

There was a major bug in v1.12 that caused the "Secure wipe" feature to show "Unknown error" when done. This wasn't anything serious security-wise and v1.12.1 has the fix for this bug. Also, a bug that causes "Secure wipe" to hang has been fixed.

Note: v1.12 will be INCOMPATIBLE with all previous releases!
