We are pleased to add official Linux native and .NET packages for the latest version of SQLCipher. These new packages contain full support for SQLCipher Commercial and Enterprise edition extensions like Value Level Encryption, Encrypted Virtual Tables, Performance Counters, and the new benchmarking feature.
SQLCipher’s cross-platform .NET based packages for Windows, macOS, Xamarin.iOS, Xamarin.Android, and Linux have now been updated to support the latest Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.Sqlite.Core 3 and Microsoft.Data.Sqlite.Core 3. The new minimum supported framework version for these SQLCipher packages is .NET Standard 2.x. Note that SQLCipher is now using SQLitePCLRaw 2.x. On UWP platforms, applications may need to call sqlite3_win32_set_directory() explicitly using this version.
The SQLCipher for ADO.NET compatibility package for System.Data.Sqlite on Windows now requires .NET Framework 4.6 or higher.
SQLCipher for Windows Enterprise packages using a FIPS 140-2 validated cryptographic module have been updated to depend on Visual C++ 2015 redistributable runtime files. Customers using Zetetic’s special FIPS packages and upgrading to the new version must ensure installation of the proper runtime components alongside SQLCipher.
