=========================
Version 2.1
THIS IS A DEVELOPMENT VERSION AND NOT INTENDED FOR REGULAR USE.

* INTRODUCTION
GnuPG is a tool for secure communication and data storage. It can
be used to encrypt data and to create digital signatures. It
includes an advanced key management facility and is compliant with
the proposed OpenPGP Internet standard as described in RFC4880 and
the S/MIME standard as described by several RFCs.
GnuPG is a complete and free implementation of the OpenPGP standard
as defined by RFC4880 (also known as PGP). GnuPG allows to encrypt
and sign data and communication, features a versatile key management
system as well as access modules for public key directories.
GnuPG is distributed under the terms of the GNU General Public
License. See the file COPYING for details. GnuPG works best on
GNU/Linux or *BSD systems. Most other Unices are also supported but
are not as well tested as the Free Unices.
GnuPG, also known as GPG, is a command line tool with features for
easy integration with other applications. A wealth of frontend
applications and libraries making use of GnuPG are available. Since
version 2 GnuPG provides support for S/MIME and Secure Shell in
addition to OpenPGP.
GnuPG-2 is the stable version of GnuPG integrating support for
OpenPGP and S/MIME. It does not conflict with an installed 1.4
OpenPGP-only version.
GnuPG is Free Software (meaning that it respects your freedom). It
can be freely used, modified and distributed under the terms of the
GNU General Public License.
We are currently maintaining three branches of GnuPG:
- 2.1 (i.e. this release) is the latest development with a lot of
new features.
- 2.0 is the current stable version for general use.
- 1.4 is the old standalone version which is most suitable for older
or embedded platforms.
You may not install 2.1 and 2.0 at the same time. However, it is
possible to install 1.4 along with any of the 2.x versions.

exists and copies them to the new store. The old secring.gpg is
kept for use by older versions of gpg.
GPG's smartcard commands --card-edit and --card-status as well as some
of the card related sub-commands of --edit-key are not yet fully
supported. However, signing and decryption with a smartcard does
work.
Note that gpg-agent now uses a fixed socket by default. All tools
will start the gpg-agent as needed. In general there is no more
need to set the GPG_AGENT_INFO environment variable. The
SSH_AUTH_SOCK environment variable should be set to a fixed value.
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 2.1. 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 directroy layout of Dirmngr changed to make
OpenPGP keyservers. The directory layout of Dirmngr changed to make
use of the GnuPG directories. Dirmngr is started by gpg or gpgsm as
needed needed. There is no more need to install a separate dirmngr
package.

Commercial grade support for GnuPG is available; for a listing of
offers see https://www.gnupg.org/service.html . Maintaining and
improving GnuPG is costly. Since 2001, g10 Code GmbH, a German
company owned and headed by GnuPG's principal author Werner Koch, is
bearing the majority of these costs. To help them carry on this
