Noteworthy changes in version 0.2.14 ------------------------------------ * Changed the internal handling of keyrings. * Add support to list PGP 5 keyrings with supkeys * Timestamps of signatures are now verified. * A expiration time can now be specified during key generation. * Some speedups for Blowfish and SHA-1, rewrote SHA-1 transform. Reduced the amount of random bytes needed for key generation in some cases. Noteworthy changes in version 0.2.13 ------------------------------------ * Verify of DSA signatures works. * Re-implemented the slower random number generator. Noteworthy changes in version 0.2.12 ------------------------------------ * --delete-key checks that there is no secret key. The new option --delete-secret-key maybe used to delete a secret key. * "-kv" now works as expected. Options "--list-{keys,sigs]" and "--check-sigs" are now working. * New options "--verify" and "--decrypt" to better support integration into MUAs (partly done for Mutt). * New option "--with-colons" to make parsing of key lists easier. Noteworthy changes in version 0.2.11 ------------------------------------ * GPG now asks for a recipient's name if option "-r" is not used. * If there is no good trust path, the program asks whether to use the public keys anyway. * "--delete-key" works for public keys. What semantics shall I use when there is a secret key too? Delete the secret key or leave him and auto-regenerate the public key, netxt time the secret key is used? Noteworthy changes in version 0.2.10 ------------------------------------ * Code for the alpha is much faster (about 20 times); the data was misaligned and the kernel traps this, so nearly all time was used by system to trap the misalignments and to write syslog messages. Shame on me and thanks to Ralph for pointing me at this while drinking some beer yesterday. * Changed some configure options and add an option --disable-m-guard to remove the memory checking code and to compile everthing with optimization on. * New environment variable GNUPGHOME, which can be used to set another homedir than ~/.gnupg. Changed default homedir for Windoze version to c:/gnupg. * Fixed detached signatures; detached PGP signatures caused a SEGV. * The Windoze version works (as usual w/o a strong RNG). Noteworthy changes in version 0.2.9 ----------------------------------- * Fixed FreeBSD bug. * Added a simple man page. * Switched to automake1.2f and a newer gettext. Noteworthy changes in version 0.2.8 ----------------------------------- * Changed the name to GNUPG, the binaries are called gpg and gpgm. You must rename rename the directory "~/.g10" to ~/.gnupg/, rename {pub,sec}ring.g10 to {pub,sec}ring.gpg, trustdb.g10 to trustdb.gpg and g10.sig to gnupg.sig. * New or changed passphrases are now salted. Noteworthy changes in version 0.2.7 ----------------------------------- * New command "gen-revoke" to create a key revocation certificate. * New option "homedir" to set the homedir (which defaults to "~/.g10"). This directory is created if it does not exists (only the last part of the name and not the complete hierarchy) * Command "import" works. (Try: "finger gcrypt@ftp.guug.de|g10 --import") * New commands "dearmor/enarmor" for g10maint. These are mainly used for internal test purposes. * Option --version now conforming to the GNU standards and lists the available ciphers, message digests and public key algorithms. * Assembler code for m68k (not tested). * "make check" works. Noteworthy changes in version 0.2.6 ----------------------------------- * Option "--export" works. Noteworthy changes in version 0.2.5 ----------------------------------- * Added zlib for systems which don't have it. Use "./configure --with-zlib" to link with the static version. * Generalized some more functions and rewrote the encoding of message digests into MPIs. * Enhanced the checkit script Noteworthy changes in version 0.2.4 ----------------------------------- * nearly doubled the speed of the ElGamal signature verification. * backup copies of keyrings are created. * assembler stuff for Pentium; gives about 15% better perfomance. * fixed a lot of bugs. Noteworthy changes in version 0.2.3 ----------------------------------- * Found a bug in the calculation of ELG fingerprints. This is now fixed, but all existing fingerprints and keyids for ELG keys are not any more valid. * armor should now work; including clear signed text. * moved some options to the new program g10maint * It's now 64 bit clean and runs fine on an alpha--linux. * Key generation is much faster now. I fixed this by using not so strong random number for the primes (this was a bug because the ElGamal primes are public parameters and it does not make sense to generate them from strong random). The real secret is the x value which is still generated from strong (okay: /dev/random) random bits. * added option "--status-fd": see g10/OPTIONS * We have secure memeory on systems which support mlock(). It is not complete yet, because we do not have signal handler which does a cleanup in very case. We should also check the ulimit for the user in the case that the admin does not have set a limit on locked pages. * started with internationalization support. * The logic to handle the web of trust is now implemented. It is has some bugs; but I'm going to change the algorithm anyway. It works by calculating the trustlevel on the fly. It may ask you to provide trust parameters if the calculated trust probability is too low. I will write a paper which discusses this new approach. * a couple of changes to the configure script. * New option "--quick-random" which uses a much quicker random number generator. Keys generated while this option is in effect are flags with "INSECURE!" in the user-id. This is a development only option. * Read support for new version packets (OpenPGP). * Comment packets are now of correct OpenPGP type 16. Old comment packets written by G10 are detected because they always start with a hash which is an invalid version byte. * The string "(INSECURE!)" is appended to a new user-id if this is generated on a system without a good random number generator.
