In addition to comments, there are a couple of other things to consider when evaluating TrueCrypt. This is also true of any encryption or security product.

You really should read all the TrueCrypt documentation to ensure you are using it properly, as, for example, the full disk encryption is useless if someone walks up to your machine while you are away and you did not lock your computer. Also pick a really long and strong passphrase. This is why TrueCrypt offers cascaded algorithms where you can use multiple algorithms at once, at the cost of speed. It's not insurmountable that someone could find weakness in AES256 or the other algorithms availble to Truecrypt in the future. I will say that the algorithms TrueCrypt uses to encipher data are industry standard, not crackable without an impractical amount of computation power (unless you select a poor password) and well used and respected by many who are security conscious. If you are paranoid, compile it yourself on a trusted system. The fact that the source code is available in the first place usually says a lot.

Only in that way will you know exactly what the software is doing and whether or not it meets your needs and threat model. To really answer the question for yourself you need to look at the source code, or pay someone to do that for you and accept liability for issuing guarantees to you. In evaluating any encryption software, there's a lot to consider. If this question can be reworded to fit the rules in the help center, please edit the question.
