Dangerzone version history

0.11.0 Jul 30, 2026

This release includes various new features, stability improvements, and security fixes. You are strongly advised to update to this new version.
> ⚠️ Due to issues with Windows signing certificates, we are not able to provide a Windows release of Dangerzone at this time. This release page will be updated as soon as the .msi packages are ready.
Breaking changes
- Our Linux packages no longer include the container image by default. For both new and existing users, the container image will be downloaded at first use, and then will be kept up to date. If your installation is in an air-gapped environment, or if you prefer not to get updates, you can install the dangerzone-full variant (#1069) instead.
This is a breaking change if you are using the Linux CLI, as it no longer has a ready-to-use conversion sandbox. New installations must initialize the sandbox once with dangerzone-image upgrade (or run the GUI, which prompts for the download) before dangerzone-cli can convert documents. Users of the dangerzone-full package or users who already have an image installed are unaffected.

Highlights

  • Optical character recognition in the sanitized PDF is now happening in parallel. Internal tests have shown a speedup of up to x6, but your mileage may vary (#1329).
  • It is now possible to convert another set of documents after the first batch (#549), or add more documents to an ongoing conversion (#1464). …
