Hi Folks,

We've released version 2.0.5 of SQLCipher Core and SQLCipher for
Android.  SQLCipher Core can be found here [1].  SQLCipher for Android
is available as a binary package here [2] and in source here [3].  Here
are some of the changes/additions highlighted in this release:

SQLCipher Core:
*  Based on SQLite 3.7.12.1
*  Add PRAGMA cipher_version to identify the SQLCipher version
*  Improved reporting of HMAC validation failure
*  Enable secure delete (wipes deleted page contents)
*  Detect and report errors if cipher context becomes corrupted

SQLCipher for Android:
*  Everything listed above in SQLCipher Core
*  Add SQLiteDatabaseHook providing preKey/postKey hooks
*  Adjustment to how RO/RW databases are handled in SQLiteOpenHelper
*  Restructure package from info.guardianproject.* to net.sqlcipher.*
*  Removed the build step for OpenSSL, we dynamically link to it
*  Add SQLiteDatabase.upgradeDatabaseFormatFromVersion1To2 to automate
migrations from the 1.x to 2.0 database format
*  Add overload to SQLiteDatabase.loadLibs to specify the directory for
unzipping the ICU dat file

Please take a look, we welcome feedback.  Thanks!
