💥 ❤️ 📣 NEW RELEASE 📣 ❤️ 💥 #Shufflecake v0.5.6 brings a TON of good news! First of all, it's *blazing fast*: we implemented better handling of I/O requests, and now we have performances that in many scenarios *exceed* those of bare dm-crypt/LUKS! We also added a proper test suite and a developer guide, and we fixed a bunch of bugs, in particular restoring full crash consistency for the Lite scheme!

@shufflecake Elia and I have bee quite under the water recently, but we've been quietly working to this new release - mostly Elia, TBH :)
In addition to the long due test units and dev guide, we worked a lot on FLUSH and FUA requests for block device I/O. We got SCARY performances, very close and at times beyond dm-crypt in fio tests!
I think it is safe to say that performances won't be our priority from now on (at least for the Lite scheme), and we can keep focusing on new features and the roadmap to our Holy Grail: a fully hidden Linux OS!
