* gpg: Accepts a space separated fingerprint as user ID. This
allows to copy and paste the fingerprint from the key listing.

listings.
* gpg: Reject signatures made using the MD5 hash algorithm unless the
new option --allow-weak-digest-algos or --pgp2 are given.
* gpg: Print a warning if the Gnome-Keyring-Daemon intercepts the
communication with the gpg-agent.
* gpg: Changed the format of key listings. To revert to the old
format the option --legacy-list-mode is available.
* gpg: New option --pinentry-mode.

more aligned to the regular key listing ("gpg -k").

decryption of the bulk message starts.
* gpg: New %U expando for the photo viewer.

they trust an X.509 root key. To prohibit interactive marking of
such keys, the new option --no-allow-mark-trusted may be used.

format.
* gpgsm: Improved handling of re-issued CA certificates.
* agent: The included ssh agent does now support ECDSA keys.

Windows to act as a Pageant replacement with full smartcard support.
* scdaemon: New option --enable-pinpad-varlen.
* scdaemon: Various fixes for pinpad equipped card readers.
* scdaemon: Rename option --disable-pinpad (was --disable-keypad).
