+ The Dirmngr is now part of GnuPG proper and also used to access
+ OpenPGP keyservers. The directory layout of Dirmngr changed to make
+ use of the GnuPG directories. Dirmngr is started by gpg or gpgsm as
+ needed. There is no more need to install a separate Dirmngr package.
+
+
+* DOCUMENTATION
+
+ The complete documentation is in the texinfo manual named
+ `gnupg.info'. Run "info gnupg" to read it. If you want a a
+ printable copy of the manual, change to the "doc" directory and
+ enter "make pdf" For a HTML version enter "make html" and point your
+ browser to gnupg.html/index.html. Standard man pages for all
+ components are provided as well. An online version of the manual is
+ available at [[https://gnupg.org/documentation/manuals/gnupg/]] . A
+ version of the manual pertaining to the current development snapshot
+ is at [[https://gnupg.org/documentation/manuals/gnupg-devel/]] .
+
+
+* GnuPG 1.4 and GnuPG 2.0
+
+ GnuPG 2.0 is a newer version of GnuPG with additional support for
+ S/MIME. It has a different design philosophy that splits
+ functionality up into several modules. Both versions may be
+ installed simultaneously without any conflict (gpg is called gpg2 in
+ GnuPG 2). In fact, the gpg version from GnuPG 1.4 is able to make
+ use of the gpg-agent as included in GnuPG 2 and allows for seamless
+ passphrase caching. The advantage of GnuPG 1.4 is its smaller size
+ and no dependency on other modules at run and build time.
+
+
+* HOW TO GET MORE INFORMATION
+
+ A description of new features and changes in version 2.1 can be
+ found in the file "doc/whats-new-in-2.1.txt" and online at
+ "https://gnupg.org/faq/whats-new-in-2.1.html" .

+
+ See [[https://gnupg.org/download/mirrors.html]] for a list of
+ mirrors and use them if possible. You may also find GnuPG mirrored
+ on some of the regular GNU mirrors.
+
+ We have some mailing lists dedicated to GnuPG:
+
+ gnupg-announce@gnupg.org For important announcements like new
+ versions and such stuff. This is a
+ moderated list and has very low traffic.
+ Do not post to this list.
+
+ gnupg-users@gnupg.org For general user discussion and
+ help (English).
+
+ gnupg-de@gnupg.org German speaking counterpart of
+ gnupg-users.
+
+ gnupg-ru@gnupg.org Russian speaking counterpart of
+ gnupg-users.
+
+ gnupg-devel@gnupg.org GnuPG developers main forum.
+
+ You subscribe to one of the list by sending mail with a subject of
+ "subscribe" to x-request@gnupg.org, where x is the name of the
+ mailing list (gnupg-announce, gnupg-users, etc.). See
+ https://www.gnupg.org/documentation/mailing-lists.html for archives
+ of the mailing lists.
+
+ Please direct bug reports to http://bugs.gnupg.org or post them
+ direct to the mailing list <gnupg-devel@gnupg.org>.
+
+ Please direct questions about GnuPG to the users mailing list or one
+ of the PGP newsgroups; please do not direct questions to one of the
+ authors directly as we are busy working on improvements and bug
+ fixes. The English and German mailing lists are watched by the
+ authors and we try to answer questions when time allows us.
+
+ Commercial grade support for GnuPG is available; for a listing of
+ offers see https://www.gnupg.org/service.html . Maintaining and
+ improving GnuPG requires a lot of time. Since 2001, g10 Code GmbH,
+ a German company owned and headed by GnuPG's principal author Werner
+ Koch, is bearing the majority of these costs. To keep GnuPG in a
+ healthy state, they need your support.
