Comment (by axeld):

 It's on [https://github.com/axeld/driveencryption/ GitHub] btw. I'm
 currently in the process to make it compatible with TrueCrypt 7 again (so
 that it can read newer TrueCrypt volumes as well). The current version is
 much faster than the last released one, as it makes better use of SMP.

 No, it's exactly like TrueCrypt, and only encrypts complete containers
 (ie. a drive image or a complete partition). Encryption of just a folder
 would be nice, too, though, and it's also not too hard to do (look at
 EncFS for Linux).
