TrueCrypt version 7.1a didn't suddenly stop working yesterday. It is still just as secure and easy to use as it ever was. Relying on TC into the future might not be wise, but there's no reason for users to immediately dump it.

This isn't necessarily true. If we take the TC message at face value, it seems like we should all move away from it ASAP.

If you take the TC message at face value, you should "just search for encrypt and use whatever pops up" on Linux, and use these settings for encryption on OS X: http://truecrypt.sourceforge.net/OSXNewImage.png

Needless to say, I think you can take their cryptic recommendations with a huge grain of salt.

Don't forget to set encryption to "none" on Mac OS:
