introduction area and sections 1.1, 2.1 and 2.2

example

to note name change

from "ftp://ftp.gnupg.org/pub/gcrypt" to ftp://ftp.gnupg.org/gcrypt/,
and the display URL (not the actual link URL, it's correct) of the http
URL from "http://www.gnupg.org/mirror.html" to

* Edited section 4.6 - As this section deals with loosing a public key,
I added a paragraph containing a hyperlink to the end of section 4.21
("I still have my secret key, but lost my public key..."). The
paragraph reads: "If you've lost your public key and need to recreate
it instead for continued use with your secret key, you may be able to
use gpgsplit as detailed in question <Rgpgsplit>."
* Edited section 4.15 - Added paragraph below table on GPGrelay, an
application for MUAs that lack OpenPGP (rfc2015) support to. "Users of
Win32 MUAs that lack OpenPGP support may look into using GPGrelay
<http://http://gpgrelay.sourceforge.net>, a small email-relaying
server that uses GnuPG to enable many email clients to send and
receive emails that conform to PGP-MIME (RFC 2015)."

users upgrading, or receiving the message that the "old default

--cert-notation. Clarify --show-notation and --show-policy-url that
policy URLs and notations can be used in data signatures as well. Add
note about '@' being a required character in notation names.
(--import/export-options may be used as well). Document --import-options
and --export-options with their various options. --show-photos now works
during signature verification as well. Document --exec-path. Note in
--simple-sk-checksum that the passphrase must be changed for this to take
effect. Note that --pgp7 does not disable MDC. Document
--no-mdc-warning.
"setpref" that a list of available algorithms can be printed with "gpg -v
--version". Note in "updpref" that we don't select keys via attribute
uids, so preferences there will be ignored.
