Here is the next new build of DiskCryptor it fixes some issues and adds some features, but mostly important it improves the boot performance a great lot.

The boot loader is not signed for secure boot, so for now, to use it, disabling secure boot is required.
The tool is able to use a signed shim Bootloader from Red Hat and install it, however for now the required files are not included in the installation package, as its a more fiddly installation and given the release is a beta it sounded reasonable to try to minimize potential issues.

The Disk Cryptor driver needed to be updated, and since the ReactOS foundation no longer offer a driver signing service, I head to use a leaked code signing certificate I found laying around the Internets. This means some anti malware applications may wrongfully flag it as potentially dangerous.

- This is a beta build so keep a backup and a Windows 2 Go drive on hand just in case.

As the volume format did not change between 1.1 and 1.2 releases you can use a old 1.1 version for your Windows 2 Go drive, although then the installation/removal of the UEFI boot loader wont be available.
