59 --no-standard-socket and with symcryptrun's temp files.
61 * Fixed a bug where SCdaemon sends a signal to Gpg-agent running in
64 * Print "AES128" instead of "AES". This change introduces a little
65 incompatibility for tools using "gpg --list-config". We hope that
66 these tools are written robust enough to accept this new algorithm
69 * Fixed CRL loading under W32 (bug#1010).
71 * Fixed TTY management for pinentries and session variable update
74 * Dirmngr has taken over the function of the keyserver helpers. Thus

107 * Support for Windows CE.
109 * If the agent's --use-standard-socket option is active, all tools
110 try to start and daemonize the agent on the fly. In the past this
111 was only supported on W32; on non-W32 systems the new configure
112 option --disable-standard-socket may now be used to disable this
115 * Dirmngr is now a part of this package. Dirmngr is now also
116 expected to run as a system service and the configuration
117 directories are changed to the GnuPG name space.
119 * Given sufficient permissions Dirmngr is started automagically.
121 * Fixed output of "gpgconf --check-options".
123 * GPG does not anymore use secring.gpg but delegates all secret key

141 algorithm preferences has changed to prefer SHA-256 over SHA-1.
142 2048 bit DSA keys are now generated to use a 256 bit hash algorithm
144 * The envvars XMODIFIERS, GTK_IM_MODULE and QT_IM_MODULE are now
145 passed to the Pinentry to make SCIM work.
147 * The GPGSM command --gen-key features a --batch mode and implements
148 all features of gpgsm-gencert.sh in standard mode.

338 * GPGSM does now grok --default-key.
340 * GPGCONF is now aware of --default-key and --encrypt-to.

350 Noteworthy changes in version 2.0.5 (2007-07-05)
351 ------------------------------------------------
353 * Switched license to GPLv3.
355 * Basic support for Windows. Run "./autogen.sh --build-w32" to build

380 ------------------------------------------------
382 * By default, do not allow processing multiple plaintexts in a single
383 stream. Many programs that called GnuPG were assuming that GnuPG
384 did not permit this, and were thus not using the plaintext boundary
385 status tags that GnuPG provides. This change makes GnuPG reject
386 such messages by default which makes those programs safe again.
387 --allow-multiple-messages returns to the old behavior. [CVE-2007-1263].
389 * New --verify-option show-primary-uid-only.
391 * gpgconf may now reads a global configuration file to select which
392 options are changeable by a frontend. The new applygnupgdefaults

403 packages. [CVE-2006-6235].
405 * Added --passphrase-repeat to set the number of times GPG will
406 prompt for a new passphrase to be repeated. This is useful to help
407 memorize a new passphrase. The default is 1 repetition.
409 * Using a PIN pad does now also work for the signing key.
411 * A warning is displayed by gpg-agent if a new passphrase is too
412 short. New option --min-passphrase-len defaults to 8.
414 * The status code BEGIN_SIGNING now shows the used hash algorithms.
417 Noteworthy changes in version 2.0.1 (2006-11-28)
418 ------------------------------------------------
420 * Experimental support for the PIN pads of the SPR 532 and the Kaan
421 Advanced card readers. Add "disable-keypad" scdaemon.conf if you
422 don't want it. Does currently only work for the OpenPGP card and
423 its authentication and decrypt keys.
425 * Fixed build problems on some some platforms and crashes on amd64.
427 * Fixed a buffer overflow in gpg2. [bug#728,CVE-2006-6169]

451 check whether the configuration file is sane.
454 Noteworthy changes in version 1.9.93 (2006-10-18)
455 -------------------------------------------------
457 * In --with-validation mode gpgsm will now also ask whether a root
458 certificate should be trusted.
460 * Link to Pth only if really necessary.
462 * Fixed a pubring corruption bug in gpg2 occurring when importing
463 signatures or keys with insane lengths.
465 * Fixed v3 keyID calculation bug in gpg2.
467 * More tweaks for certificates without extensions.
470 Noteworthy changes in version 1.9.92 (2006-10-11)

477 -------------------------------------------------
479 * New "relax" flag for trustlist.txt to allow root CA certificates
480 without BasicContraints.

504 * The gpg code from 1.4.5 has been fully merged into this release.
505 The configure option --enable-gpg is still required to build this
506 gpg part. For production use of OpenPGP the gpg version 1.4.5 is
507 still recommended. Note, that gpg will be installed under the name
508 gpg2 to allow coexisting with an 1.4.x gpg.
510 * API change in gpg-agent's pkdecrypt command. Thus an older gpgsm
511 may not be used with the current gpg-agent.
513 * The scdaemon will now call a script on reader status changes.
515 * gpgsm now allows file descriptor passing for "INPUT", "OUTPUT" and

609 enhance it to match all the old capabilities.
611 * [gpg-agent] New option --write-env-file and Assuan command
614 * [gpg-agent] New option --default-cache-ttl-ssh to set the TTL for
