v3.6.0_Beta1 Changelog

WARNING
Backups taken with this beta CANNOT be restored with versions below v3.6.x. Backups taken with previous versions are compatible.

Backup format and Encryption changes
- 7z is now the default archive format used for backups
- Added compression level options for app data backups
- AES-256 encryption is enforced by default for all backups except wallpapers. Other encryption method options have been removed.
- Added 'Encryption password strategy' options in Settings. You can now optionally add your own passphrase to the password generating process in Swift Backup and it will use this password in addition to the already used parameters to create the final encryption password.

Proper support for USB OTG and SD Cards (Rooted devices)
- On devices where USB flash drives and SD Cards are not accessible, Swift Backup can now use root access to create its folder at the root of such storages similar to how it does on the device's internal storage.
- This feature should work across all Android versions (6-12) supported by Swift Backup.
- Due to the new location of backups, they are now safe even after Swift Backup is uninstalled.
