Noteworthy changes in version 2.3.0 (unreleased)
|
||||
------------------------------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
* The legacy key discovory method PKA is no longer supported. The

* The legacy key discovery method PKA is no longer supported. The
|
||||
command --print-pka-records and the PKA related import and export
|
||||
options have been removed.
|
||||
|
||||
* A new experimental key database daemon is provided. To enable it
|
||||
put "use-keyboxd" into gpg.conf and gpgsm.conf. Keys are stored
|
||||
in a SQLite database and make key lookup much faster.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Changes also found in 2.2.27:
|
||||
|
||||
* gpg: Fix regression in 2.2.24 for gnupg_remove function under

* MIGRATION from 1.4 or 2.0 to 2.2
|
||||
|
||||
The major change in 2.2 is gpg-agent taking care of the OpenPGP
|
||||
secret keys (those managed by GPG). The former file "secring.gpg"
|
||||
will not be used anymore. Newly generated keys are stored in the
|
||||
agent's key store directory "~/.gnupg/private-keys-v1.d/". The
|
||||
first time gpg needs a secret key it checks whether a "secring.gpg"
|
||||
exists and copies them to the new store. The old secring.gpg is
|
||||
kept for use by older versions of gpg.
|
||||
|
||||
Note that gpg-agent now uses a fixed socket. All tools will start
|
||||
the gpg-agent as needed. The formerly used environment variable
|
||||
GPG_AGENT_INFO is ignored by 2.2. The SSH_AUTH_SOCK environment
|
||||
variable should be set to a fixed value.
|
||||
|
||||
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.
|
||||
|
||||
All changes introduced with GnuPG 2.2 have been developed in the 2.1
|
||||
series of releases. See the respective entries in the file NEWS.

* Installing GnuPG 2.2. and GnuPG 1.4
|
||||
* Unsing the legacy version GnuPG 1.4
|
||||
|
||||
GnuPG 2.2 is a current version of GnuPG with state of the art
|
||||
security design and many more features. To install both versions
|
||||
alongside, it is suggested to rename the 1.4 version of "gpg" to
|
||||
"gpg1" as well as the corresponding man page. Newer releases of the
|
||||
1.4 branch will likely do this by default. In case this is not
|
||||
possible, the 2.2 version can be installed under the name "gpg2"
|
||||
using the configure option --enable-gpg-is-gpg2.
|
||||
The 1.4 version of GnuPG is only intended to allow decryption of old
|
||||
data material using legacy keys which are not anymore supported by
|
||||
GnuPG 2.x. To install both versions alongside, it is suggested to
|
||||
rename the 1.4 version of "gpg" to "gpg1" as well as the
|
||||
corresponding man page. Newer releases of the 1.4 branch will
|
||||
likely do this by default.
