Dear friends of MediLog, I need to phase out database encryption in MediLog because, a, ever since Android encrypts local content it's not offering any real value any longer, b, db encryption comes with significant complexity and dramatically larger installation files (APKs).
Unfortunately switching the database from encrypted to unencrypted is a bit of a process, and a highly delicate one as well.
To broaden my testing I created a beta of v3.6.0 which will create an encrypted database during installation and will convert the database to unencrypted whenever the app is launched a second time.
Therefore could as many as possible please...
- run a backup in your production MediLog installation
- install the beta next to production -> verify database shows as encrpted in About/Security
- import your backup
- restart the beta -> verify all data isstill there and the db shows as unencrypted in About/Security
Depending on the amount of data the conversion may take a second or 2.
Get v3.6.0 from here: https://codeberg.org/toz/MediLog/wiki/Pre-Release+versions.-
