-===============================
+- Kleopatra now supports OpenPGP Smartcards management.
-- Using smart cards with Kleopatra:
+- GpgOL for Outlook 2010 and later has a new interface to show
+ the signature / encryption state inside of Outlook.
- * OpenPGP card
- The initial setting of a smart card with Kleopatra is not yet
- possible. Please run the following steps once to use your smart
- card with Kleopatra.
- Use the gpg command line tool to create a new OpenPGP certificate
- on your card (a) or to activate your existing certificate of
- your card (b):
+- GnuPG now supports https and uses the https sks-keyserver pool
+ by default.
- (a) Create new certificate
- - Insert card.
- - Run "gpg --card-edit".
- - Switch to admin modus by enter: "admin".
- - Enter "generate" to create a new certificate.
+- GpgOL now supports sending and receiving HTML Mails
- (b) Activate existing certificate of your card
- - Import associated (public) certificate of your card (e.g.
- from certificate server or from a exported certificate file).
- - Insert card.
- - Run "gpg --card-status".
+- Kleopatra now supports to directly import missing certificates
+ when verifying a file.
- * X.509 Telesec Netkey 3 card
- Use Kleopatra to initialize your card:
- - Insert card.
- - Click on the flashing Kleopatra system tray icon (or use the
- context menu "smart card" of the system tray icon and run the
- "learn card" command directly).
+- Kleopatra has improved file verification messages.
- After finishing these steps your OpenPGP / X.509 certificate from your
- smart card is shown in Kleopatra under the tab "My certificates"
- (marked with a smart card icon).
+- Many bugfixes and minor improvements.

+3. Additional Notes
+===================
+- General
+
+ * For 3.0 we plan to offer a quick switch to a more automatic mode that
+ will set the gnupg options:
+
+ auto-key-locate wkd
+ auto-key-retrieve
+ trust-model tofu+pgp
+
+ As this is not properly handled everywhere (especially Kleopatra's
+ file verification dialog) this is not yet default or easily accessible.
+
+ You can add it manually to your gpg.conf. The trust-model is fully
+ supported by GpgOL.
+
+- Kleopatra
+
+ * Netkey cards are not yet supported by the new Manage Smartcard view.
+
+- GpgOL
+
+ * It is not possible to modify mails (e.g. moving / flagging the mail)
+ while they are shown decrypted.
+ To workaround this unselect the crypto mail and then make changes
+ through the right click context menu or move it with drag and drop.
+
+ * Crypto mails forwarded as attachment are not properly handled.
+
+ * The certificate selection dialog sometimes opens in the background and
+ needs an overhaul.
+
+ * Localization is incomplete
+
+
+- GpgOL for Outlook 2003 and 2007 (deprecated):
+
+ Outlook 2003 and 2007 support is deprecated and may be removed in a
+ future version.
* You defintely should create copies of your old encrypted/signed
emails before installing GpgOL, e.g. in the form of PST files.
