What's New in 2.0.19

What's New in 2.0.20
|
||||
====================
|
||||
|
||||
* GPG now accepts a space separated fingerprint as a user ID. This
|
||||
allows to copy and paste the fingerprint from the key listing.
|
||||
* Decryption using smartcards keys > 3072 bit does now work.
|
||||
|
||||
* GPG now uses the longest key ID available. Removed support for the
|
||||
original HKP keyserver which is not anymore used by any site.
|
||||
* New meta option ignore-invalid-option to allow using the same
|
||||
option file by other GnuPG versions.
|
||||
|
||||
* Rebuild the trustdb after changing the option --min-cert-level.
|
||||
* gpg: The hash algorithm is now printed for sig records in key listings.
|
||||
|
||||
* Ukrainian translation.
|
||||
* gpg: Skip invalid keyblock packets during import to avoid a DoS.
|
||||
|
||||
* Honor option --cert-digest-algo when creating a cert.
|
||||
* gpg: Correctly handle ports from DNS SRV records.
|
||||
|
||||
* Emit a DECRYPTION_INFO status line.
|
||||
* keyserver: Improve use of SRV records
|
||||
|
||||
* Improved detection of JPEG files.
|
||||
* gpg-agent: Avoid tty corruption when killing pinentry.
|
||||
|
||||
* scdaemon: Improve detection of card insertion and removal.
|
||||
|
||||
* scdaemon: Rename option --disable-keypad to --disable-pinpad.
|
||||
|
||||
* scdaemon: Better support for CCID readers. Now, the internal CCID
|
||||
driver supports readers without the auto configuration feature.
|
||||
|
||||
* scdaemon: Add pinpad input for PC/SC, if your reader has pinpad and
|
||||
it supports variable length PIN input, and you specify
|
||||
--enable-pinpad-varlen option.
|
||||
|
||||
* scdaemon: New option --enable-pinpad-varlen.
|
||||
|
||||
* scdaemon: Install into libexecdir to avoid accidental execution
|
||||
from the command line.
|
||||
|
||||
* Support building using w64-mingw32.
|
||||
|
||||
* Assorted bug fixes.
