We are pleased to announce that SQLCipher 4.5.4 is now available. It includes the following notable changes:
SQLCipher Core
- Updates baseline to use SQLite 3.41.2
- When using an OpenSSL cryptographic provider,
PRAGMA cipher_provider_version will return the version loaded at runtime instead of at compile time
- Improves guarding against cryptographic provider initialization failure
- A new encrypted database which is
ATTACHed as the first operation after keying the main database will have the same salt as main database
- CocoaPods minimum platform versions are now iOS 11.0, macOS 10.13, tvOS 11.0, and watchOS 7.0
SQLCipher Android
- Breaking Change: Android Database SQLite Exception classes are now used for compatibility with Android Support and Room. All SQLCipher exception classes have been removed. All Android users should adjust their code to import the appropriate exceptions from
android.database.* and android.database.sqlite.* after upgrading.
- Breaking Change: Updates android.sqlitex dependency to version 2.2.0. Integrators should adjust the
dependencies block in build.gradle accordingly.
- Breaking Change: Minimum supported SDK version updated to 21 on 32 bit platforms for compatibility with upstream SQLite changes
- Fix issue where the use of an incorrect encryption key could be mistakenly identified as database corruption
- All builds updated to use latest LTS version
