Release v3.3: end-to-end encrypted audio, plus cue and reliability fixes
Headline: all audio is now encrypted (AES-256-GCM), keyed by a per-profile password. Mandatory — v3.3 only interoperates with v3.3+. Encryption - RemSoundCrypto (Core): PBKDF2 key derivation, AES-GCM encrypt/decrypt (low-alloc, into-span), password fingerprint, light on-disk obfuscation. - Wire: SenderLane encrypts the audio payload (PCM split across parts when the +28 overhead crosses MTU); AudioReceiver/StreamSession decrypt via a shared single-thread AudioDecryptor. Fingerprint piggybacks on the Format packet (offset 36, backward-compatible) so a peer can detect a password mismatch. - Profile.Password (scrambled), carried through BuildCurrentProfile; MainForm derives + pushes the key/fingerprint to sender + receiver (RecomputeAudioCrypto). - UX: ask-for-password on profile create; File -> Change this profile's password (ProfilePasswordDialog); Options -> Profile passwords (manager); a gate that prompts before streaming without a password; and a clear "passwords don't match" / "peer needs to update" message driven by the fingerprint. Cue fixes - CuePlayer (NAudio) replaces System.Media.SoundPlayer, which silently failed on the 96 kHz/24-bit cue WAVs (and any custom file) — cues now play reliably, resampled to 48 kHz/16-bit. Also fixes the Preferences preview button. - Connect/disconnect cues now audio-gated with hysteresis: connected when audio flows OR heartbeat healthy; lost only when audio stops AND heartbeat unreachable. Kills false disconnects and the receive-only "no cues" case. - Honest cue logging (played / muted / not loaded). Smaller - Endpoint stickiness: keep the audio target pinned to the heartbeat-proven address instead of chasing a multi-homed peer's other (unreachable) address. - "Online/offline" label now audio+heartbeat aware, not discovery-only. - "Show what's new after each update" preference (on by default). Docs: About v3.3 block, RELEASE_NOTES, README (encryption as a headline), manual section 12 "Passwords and encryption" (+ renumber), MANUAL.md regenerated. Version 3.2.0 -> 3.3.0.

It's also fully accessible. The interface was designed with screen readers (NVDA in particular) in mind from day one. Every button has a keyboard shortcut, every status line is read out clearly, and there are no menus or controls that need a mouse to reach.

## Private by default — your audio is encrypted
|
||||
|
||||
Everything RemSound sends is **encrypted end to end**: scrambled the moment it leaves your computer and only unscrambled at the other end, so nobody in between — your internet provider, a shared Wi-Fi, anyone watching the line — can listen in. You no longer need a VPN just to keep a private connection private.
|
||||
|
||||
It works with a simple shared password. You and the person you're connecting to use the **same password**, and only the two of you can hear the audio — get the password wrong and nothing comes through. RemSound stores a password on each profile and walks you through setting one. And it all adds no delay you'd ever notice.
