* Secret keys are no longer imported unless you use the new option
--allow-secret-key-import.
* Corrected hash calculation for some inputs greater than 512M - it
was just wrong, so you might notice bad signature in some very
big files. It may be wise to keep an old copy of GnuPG around.
* There is now a notation of a primary user ID. For example this one is
printed with a signature verifaction as the first user ID, revoked user
IDs are not printed there anymore. I general the primary user ID is the
one with the latest self-signature.
