TrueCrypt Alternatives

Updated:  Wanted to add https://www.grc.com/misc/truecrypt/truecrypt.htm green shaded box (scroll down a little) shows correspondence from devs of Truecrypt.

TL:DR Confirms that this was just an odd way of quitting.

For the couple people that might have missed drama with TrueCrypt see http://krebsonsecurity.com/2014/05/true-goodbye-using-truecrypt-is-not-secure/

TL:DR Looks like people(s) behind TrueCrypt are done supporting it & suggest people use something else, additionally version released with this information only decrypts previously encrypted data, won't encrypt.

In light of this situation, many people are looking for alternatives, best list I have found so far, though I know very little about the suggestions, is http://www.ghacks.net/2014/05/29/list-truecrypt-encryption-alternatives/
