The new default, XChaCha20-Poly1305, is not supported by CryFS 0.10.x. + Security: * Added the XChaCha20-Poly1305 encryption cipher. For new filesystems, this will be the default, but you're still able to create a filesystem with the previous default of AES-256-GCM by saying "no" to the "use default settings?" question when creating the file system. Also, old filesystems will not be automatically converted and will keep using AES-256-GCM.
