Noteworthy changes in version 2.2.8 (unreleased)
Noteworthy changes in version 2.2.8 (2018-06-08)
------------------------------------------------
* gpg: Decryption of messages not using the MDC mode will now lead
to a hard failure even if a legacy cipher algorithm was used. The
option --ignore-mdc-error can be used to turn this failure into a
warning. Take care: Never use that option unconditionally or
without a prior warning.
* gpg: The MDC encryption mode is now always used regardless of the
cipher algorithm or any preferences. For testing --rfc2440 can be
used to create a message without an MDC.
* gpg: Sanitize the diagnostic output of the original file name in
verbose mode. [#4012,CVE-2018-12020]
* gpg: Detect suspicious multiple plaintext packets in a more
reliable way. [#4000]
* gpg: Fix the duplicate key signature detection code. [#3994]
* gpg: The options --no-mdc-warn, --force-mdc, --no-force-mdc,
--disable-mdc and --no-disable-mdc have no more effect.
* agent: Add DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS and a few other envvars to the
list of startup environment variables. [#3947]
