Noteworthy changes in version 2.3.0 (unreleased)
------------------------------------------------
Changes also found in 2.2.19:
* gpg: Only in 2.2.19; not requird in master: Fix double free when
decrypting for hidden recipients. Regression in 2.2.18. [#4762].
* gpg: Use auto-key-locate for encryption even for mail addresses
given with angle brackets. [#4726]
* gpgsm: Add special case for certain expired intermediate
certificates. [#4696]
Release-info: https://dev.gnupg.org/T4768
See-also: gnupg-announce/2019q4/000443.html
Changes also found in 2.2.18:
* gpg: Changed the way keys are detected on a smartcards; this
allows the use of non-OpenPGP cards. In the case of a not very
likely regression the new option --use-only-openpgp-card is
available. [#4681]
* gpg: The commands --full-gen-key and --quick-gen-key now allow
direct key generation from supported cards. [#4681]
* gpg: Prepare against chosen-prefix SHA-1 collisions in key
signatures. This change removes all SHA-1 based key signature
from the web-of-trust. Note that this includes all key signature
created with dsa1024 keys. (Version 2.2.18 limits this to key
signatures newer than 2019-01-19.) The new option
--allow-weak-key-signatues can be used to override the new and
safer behaviour. [#4755,CVE-2019-14855]
* gpg: Improve performance for import of large keyblocks. [#4592]
* gpg: Implement a keybox compression run. [#4644]
* gpg: Show warnings from dirmngr about redirect and certificate
problems (details require --verbose as usual).
* gpg: Allow to pass the empty string for the passphrase if the
'--passphase=' syntax is used. [#4633]
* gpg: Fix printing of the KDF object attributes.
* gpg: Avoid surprises with --locate-external-key and certain
--auto-key-locate settings. [#4662]
* gpg: Improve selection of best matching key. [#4713]
* gpg: Delete key binding signature when deleting a subkey.
[#4665,#4457]
* gpg: Fix a potential loss of key signatures during import with
self-sigs-only active. [#4628]
* gpg: Silence "marked as ultimately trusted" diagnostics if
option --quiet is used. [#4634]
* gpg: Silence some diagnostics during in key listsing even with
option --verbose. [#4627]
* gpg, gpgsm: Change parsing of agent's pkdecrypt results. [#4652]
* gpgsm: Support AES-256 keys.
* gpgsm: Fix a bug in triggering a keybox compression run if
--faked-system-time is used.
* dirmngr: System CA certificates are no longer used for the SKS
pool if GNUTLS instead of NTBTLS is used as TLS library. [#4594]
* dirmngr: On Windows detect usability of IPv4 and IPv6 interfaces
to avoid long timeouts. [#4165]
* scd: Fix BWI value for APDU level transfers to make Gemalto Ezio
Shield and Trustica Cryptoucan work. [#4654,#4566]
* wkd: gpg-wks-client --install-key now installs the required policy
file.

Changes also found in 2.2.17:
* gpg: Ignore all key-signatures received from keyservers. This
change is required to mitigate a DoS due to keys flooded with
faked key-signatures. The old behaviour can be achieved by adding
keyserver-options no-self-sigs-only,no-import-clean
to your gpg.conf. [#4607]
* gpg: If an imported keyblocks is too large to be stored in the
keybox (pubring.kbx) do not error out but fallback to an import
using the options "self-sigs-only,import-clean". [#4591]
* gpg: New command --locate-external-key which can be used to
refresh keys from the Web Key Directory or via other methods
configured with --auto-key-locate.
* gpg: New import option "self-sigs-only".
* gpg: In --auto-key-retrieve prefer WKD over keyservers. [#4595]
* dirmngr: Support the "openpgpkey" subdomain feature from
draft-koch-openpgp-webkey-service-07. [#4590].
* dirmngr: Add an exception for the "openpgpkey" subdomain to the
CSRF protection. [#4603]
* dirmngr: Fix endless loop due to http errors 503 and 504. [#4600]
* dirmngr: Fix TLS bug during redirection of HKP requests. [#4566]
* gpgconf: Fix a race condition when killing components. [#4577]

* gpg,gpgsm: Fix deadlock on Windows due to a keybox sharing
