Standard Notes 3.5

Standard Notes 3.5 is a rigorous architectural upgrade that brings greatly improved performance, new state-of-the-art encryption algorithms, and a solid logical foundation on which we’ll be able to build new features with greater speed and confidence.

• Loading and processing speeds are 3-4x faster due to new encryption algorithms and helpers that utilize native system resources and hardware.

• New state-of-the-art encryption algorithms (XChaCha20-Poly1305 for encryption and Argon2 for key generation) bring you the latest, most secure advances in cryptography.

• Our newly rebuilt core engine brings vastly improved stability, logic flow, and an extremely thorough automated testing suite, allowing us to iterate on our apps in a faster and safer way.

Note: to ensure full version 3.5 upgrade propagation for all platforms, we are first releasing v3.5 without the encryption update option. After 48 hours, we will be releasing a follow up version, which will contain the option the upgrade your account version. This allows the maximum number of users to upgrade all devices to 3.5 before upgrading their encryption version (upgrading your encryption version requires using the newest v3.5 app on all your devices.)
