Changelog

Every release of anonym.plus is documented here with a categorized list of changes. Entries are grouped by label: Added for new features, Changed for behavior or UI updates, Fixed for bug resolutions, Security for vulnerability patches, and Removed for deprecated capabilities.

anonym.plus follows semantic versioning. The major version increments on breaking changes to the vault format, license schema, or anonymization pipeline. Minor versions add new entity types, file format support, or operator capabilities. Patch versions fix bugs and improve detection accuracy without changing any API or file format.

For upgrade guidance between major versions, check the release notes carefully — a major version bump may require re-exporting your vault or re-activating your license on the new version. All other updates are drop-in replacements. The app notifies you automatically when a new version is available in Settings → About.

anonym.plus is a fully offline PII anonymization tool for Windows, macOS, and Linux. It detects and redacts over 340 entity types — names, emails, phone numbers, IBAN codes, medical record numbers, ID documents, and more — using a hybrid detection pipeline that combines regex patterns, NLP named entity recognition, and machine learning classifiers. All processing happens locally on your device. No data is sent to any server.

The anonymization engine supports 48 languages and handles plain text, structured documents (PDF, DOCX, XLSX, PPTX), and images with embedded text via OCR. Reversible anonymization is available through AES-256-GCM encryption with vault-stored keys, allowing you to deanonymize documents later using the same key. Custom entity patterns (regex or keyword lists) can be defined in Settings → Custom Entities. Batch processing allows you to anonymize entire folder trees in a single operation.
