Werner Koch 9ff72e4e7e w32: Add code to support a portable use of GnuPG. 
* common/homedir.c (w32_bin_is_bin, w32_portable_app) [W32]: New.
(check_portable_app) [W32]: New.
(standard_homedir, default_homedir) [W32]: Support the portable flag.
(w32_rootdir, w32_commondir) [W32]: Ditto.
(gnupg_bindir, gnupg_cachedir, dirmngr_socket_name) [W32]: Ditto.
* common/logging.h (JNLIB_LOG_NO_REGISTRY): New.
* common/logging.c (no_registry): New variable.
(log_set_prefix, log_get_prefix): Set/get that variable.
(do_logv): Do not check the registry if that variable is set.
--

Beware: This code has not been tested because it is not yet possible
to build GnuPG 2.1 for Windows.  However, the code will be the base
for an implementation in 2.0.

A portable use of GnuPG under Windows means that GnuPG uses a home
directory depending on the location of the actual binary.  No registry
variables are considered.  The portable mode is enabled if in the
installation directory of the the binary "gpgconf.exe" and a
file "gpgconf.ctl" are found.  The latter file is empty or consists
only of empty or '#' comment lines.

Noteworthy changes in version 2.1.0-betaN (unreleased)
-----------------------------------------------------
* GPG now accepts a space separated fingerprint as a user ID. This
allows to copy and paste the fingerprint from the key listing.
* The GNU Pth library has been replaced by the new nPth library.
* Removed support for the original HKP keyserver which is not anymore
used by any site.
* The hash algorithm is now printed for sig records in key listings.
* New option --pinentry-mode for GPG.
* New option --enable-pinpad-varlen for scdaemon.
* Rename option --disable-pinpad for scdaemon (was: --disable-keypad).
* Better support fo CCID readers. Now, internal CCID driver supports
readers with no auto configuration feature.
* Support installation as portable application under Windows.
Noteworthy changes in version 2.1.0beta3 (2011-12-20)
-----------------------------------------------------
* Fixed regression in GPG's secret key export function.
* Allow generation of card keys up to 4096 bit.
* Support the SSH confirm flag.
* The Assuan commands KILLAGENT and KILLSCD are working again.
* SCdaemon does not anymore block after changing a card (regression
fix).
* gpg-connect-agent does now proberly display the help output for
"SCD HELP" commands.
* Preliminary support for the GPGSM validation model "steed".
* Improved certificate creation in GPGSM.
* New option for GPG_AGENT to select a passphrase mode. The loopback
mode may be used to bypass Pinentry.
Noteworthy changes in version 2.1.0beta2 (2011-03-08)
-----------------------------------------------------
* TMPDIR is now also honored when creating a socket using
--no-standard-socket and with symcryptrun's temp files.
* Fixed a bug where SCdaemon sends a signal to Gpg-agent running in
non-daemon mode.
* Print "AES128" instead of "AES". This change introduces a little
incompatibility for tools using "gpg --list-config". We hope that
these tools are written robust enough to accept this new algorithm
name as well.
* Fixed CRL loading under W32 (bug#1010).
* Fixed TTY management for pinentries and session variable update
problem.
* Dirmngr has taken over the function of the keyserver helpers. Thus
we now have a specified direct interface to keyservers via Dirmngr.
LDAP, DNS and mail backends are not yet implemented.
* ECC support for GPG as described by draft-jivsov-openpgp-ecc-06.txt.
* New GPGSM feature to create certificates from a parameter file.
Add prompt to the --gen-key UI to create self-signed certificates.
Noteworthy changes in version 2.1.0beta1 (2010-10-26)
-----------------------------------------------------
* Encrypted OpenPGP messages with trailing data (e.g. other OpenPGP
packets) are now correctly parsed.
* The GPGSM --audit-log feature is now more complete.
* The G13 tool for disk encryption key management has been added.
* The default for --include-cert is now to include all certificates
in the chain except for the root certificate.
* Numerical values may now be used as an alternative to the
debug-level keywords.
* Support DNS lookups for SRV, PKA and CERT on W32.
* New GPGSM option --ignore-cert-extension.
* New and changed passphrases are now created with an iteration count
requiring about 100ms of CPU work.
* Support for Windows CE.
* If the agent's --use-standard-socket option is active, all tools
try to start and daemonize the agent on the fly. In the past this
was only supported on W32; on non-W32 systems the new configure
option --disable-standard-socket may now be used to disable this
new default.
* Dirmngr is now a part of this package. Dirmngr is now also
expected to run as a system service and the configuration
directories are changed to the GnuPG name space.
* Given sufficient permissions Dirmngr is started automagically.
* Fixed output of "gpgconf --check-options".
* GPG does not anymore use secring.gpg but delegates all secret key
operations to gpg-agent. The import command moves secret keys to
the agent.
* The OpenPGP import command is now able to merge secret keys.
* Removed GPG options:
--export-options: export-secret-subkey-passwd
--simple-sk-checksum
* New GPG options:
--try-secret-key
Noteworthy changes in version 2.0.13 (2009-09-04)
-------------------------------------------------
* GPG now generates 2048 bit RSA keys by default. The default hash
algorithm preferences has changed to prefer SHA-256 over SHA-1.
2048 bit DSA keys are now generated to use a 256 bit hash algorithm
* The envvars XMODIFIERS, GTK_IM_MODULE and QT_IM_MODULE are now
passed to the Pinentry to make SCIM work.
* The GPGSM command --gen-key features a --batch mode and implements
all features of gpgsm-gencert.sh in standard mode.
* New option --re-import for GPGSM's IMPORT server command.
* Enhanced writing of existing keys to OpenPGP v2 cards.
* Add hack to the internal CCID driver to allow the use of some
Omnikey based card readers with 2048 bit keys.
* GPG now repeatly asks the user to insert the requested OpenPGP
card. This can be disabled with --limit-card-insert-tries=1.
* Minor bug fixes.
Noteworthy changes in version 2.0.12 (2009-06-17)
-------------------------------------------------
* GPGSM now always lists ephemeral certificates if specified by
fingerprint or keygrip.
* New command "KEYINFO" for GPG_AGENT. GPGSM now also returns
information about smartcards.

and store negative answers in trustlist.txt.
* Better synchronization of concurrent smartcard sessions.
* Support 2048 bit OpenPGP cards.
* Support Telesec Netkey 3 cards.

* SCDAEMON is now aware of the Geldkarte.
* The SCDAEMON option --allow-admin is now used by default.
* GPGCONF now restarts SCdaemon if necessary.
* The default cipher algorithm in GPGSM is now again 3DES. This is
due to interoperability problems with Outlook 2003 which still
can't cope with AES.
Noteworthy changes in version 2.0.10 (2009-01-12)
-------------------------------------------------
* [gpg] New keyserver helper gpg2keys_kdns as generic DNS CERT
lookup. Run with --help for a short description. Requires the
ADNS library.

* Minor bug fixes.
Noteworthy changes in version 2.0.8 (2007-12-20)
------------------------------------------------
* Enhanced gpg-connect-agent with a small scripting language.
* New option --list-config for gpgconf.
* Fixed a crash in gpgconf.

broken signatures.
* Allow encryption with legacy Elgamal sign+encrypt keys with option
--rfc2440.
* Windows is now a supported platform.
* Made sure that under Windows the file permissions of the socket are
taken into account. This required a change of our socket emulation
code and changed the IPC protocol under Windows.
Noteworthy changes in version 2.0.7 (2007-09-10)
------------------------------------------------
* Fixed encryption problem if duplicate certificates are in the
keybox.
* Made it work on Windows Vista. Note that the entire Windows port
is still considered Beta.
* Add new options min-passphrase-nonalpha, check-passphrase-pattern,
enforce-passphrase-constraints and max-passphrase-days to
gpg-agent.

installed versions of the programs and does not anymore search via
PATH for them.
Noteworthy changes in version 2.0.6 (2007-08-16)
------------------------------------------------
* GPGSM does now grok --default-key.
* GPGCONF is now aware of --default-key and --encrypt-to.
* GPGSM does again correctly print the serial number as well the the
various keyids. This was broken since 2.0.4.

* Improved Windows support.
Noteworthy changes in version 2.0.5 (2007-07-05)
------------------------------------------------

it. As usual the mingw cross compiling toolchain is required.
* Fixed bug when using the --p12-charset without --armor.
* The command --gen-key may now be used instead of the
gpgsm-gencert.sh script.
* Changed key generation to reveal less information about the
machine. Bug fixes for gpg2's card key generation.

------------------------------------------------
* The server mode key listing commands are now also working for
systems without the funopen/fopencookie API.
* PKCS#12 import now tries several encodings in case the passphrase
was not utf-8 encoded. New option --p12-charset for gpgsm.
* Improved the libgcrypt logging support in all modules.
Noteworthy changes in version 2.0.3 (2007-03-08)
------------------------------------------------
* By default, do not allow processing multiple plaintexts in a single
stream. Many programs that called GnuPG were assuming that GnuPG
did not permit this, and were thus not using the plaintext boundary
status tags that GnuPG provides. This change makes GnuPG reject
such messages by default which makes those programs safe again.
--allow-multiple-messages returns to the old behavior. [CVE-2007-1263].
* New --verify-option show-primary-uid-only.
* gpgconf may now reads a global configuration file to select which
options are changeable by a frontend. The new applygnupgdefaults
tool may be used by an admin to set default options for all users.
* The PIN pad of the Cherry XX44 keyboard is now supported. The
DINSIG and the NKS applications are now also aware of PIN pads.
Noteworthy changes in version 2.0.2 (2007-01-31)
------------------------------------------------
* Fixed a serious and exploitable bug in processing encrypted
packages. [CVE-2006-6235].
* Added --passphrase-repeat to set the number of times GPG will
prompt for a new passphrase to be repeated. This is useful to help
memorize a new passphrase. The default is 1 repetition.
* Using a PIN pad does now also work for the signing key.
* A warning is displayed by gpg-agent if a new passphrase is too
short. New option --min-passphrase-len defaults to 8.
* The status code BEGIN_SIGNING now shows the used hash algorithms.
Noteworthy changes in version 2.0.1 (2006-11-28)
------------------------------------------------
* Experimental support for the PIN pads of the SPR 532 and the Kaan
Advanced card readers. Add "disable-keypad" scdaemon.conf if you
don't want it. Does currently only work for the OpenPGP card and
its authentication and decrypt keys.
* Fixed build problems on some some platforms and crashes on amd64.
* Fixed a buffer overflow in gpg2. [bug#728,CVE-2006-6169]

-------------------------------------------------
* Regular man pages for most tools are now build directly from the
Texinfo source.
* The gpg code from 1.4.5 has been fully merged into this release.
The configure option --enable-gpg is still required to build this
gpg part. For production use of OpenPGP the gpg version 1.4.5 is
still recommended. Note, that gpg will be installed under the name
gpg2 to allow coexisting with an 1.4.x gpg.
* API change in gpg-agent's pkdecrypt command. Thus an older gpgsm
may not be used with the current gpg-agent.
* The scdaemon will now call a script on reader status changes.
* gpgsm now allows file descriptor passing for "INPUT", "OUTPUT" and
"MESSAGE".

straightforward pkcs#15 modules has been written. As of now it
does allows only signing using TCOS cards but we are going to
enhance it to match all the old capabilities.
* [gpg-agent] New option --write-env-file and Assuan command
UPDATESTARTUPTTY.
* [gpg-agent] New option --default-cache-ttl-ssh to set the TTL for
SSH passphrase caching independent from the other passphrases.
Noteworthy changes in version 1.9.16 (2005-04-21)

* [gpg-agent] The new option --allow-mark-trusted is now required to
allow gpg-agent to add a key to the trustlist.txt after user
confirmation.
* Creating PKCS#10 requests does now honor the key usage.
Noteworthy changes in version 1.9.8 (2004-04-29)
------------------------------------------------
* [scdaemon] Overhauled the internal CCID driver.
* [scdaemon] Status files named ~/.gnupg/reader_<n>.status are now
written when using the internal CCID driver.

------------------------------------------------
* gpg-protect-tool gets now installed into libexec as it ought to be.
Cleaned up the build system to better comply with the coding
standards.
* [gpgsm] The --import command is now able to autodetect pkcs#12
files and import secret and private keys from this file format.

* Various minor bug fixes and cleanups; mainly gpgsm and gpg-agent
related.
Noteworthy changes in version 1.9.3 (2003-12-23)
------------------------------------------------
* New gpgsm options --{enable,disable}-ocsp to validate keys using
OCSP. This option requires a not yet released DirMngr version.
Default is disabled.
* The --log-file option may now be used to print logs to a socket.
Prefix the socket name with "socket://" to enable this. This does
not work on all systems and falls back to stderr if there is a
problem with the socket.
* The options --encrypt-to and --no-encrypt-to now work the same in
gpgsm as in gpg. Note, they are also used in server mode.
* Duplicated recipients are now silently removed in gpgsm.

* All kind of other internal stuff.
Noteworthy changes in version 1.9.1 (2003-09-06)
------------------------------------------------
* Support for OpenSC is back. scdaemon supports a --disable-opensc to
disable OpenSC use at runtime, so that PC/SC or ct-API can still be
used directly.
* Rudimentary support for the SCR335 smartcard reader using an
internal driver. Requires current libusb from CVS.
* Bug fixes.
Noteworthy changes in version 1.9.0 (2003-08-05)
------------------------------------------------
====== PLEASE SEE README-alpha =======
* gpg has been renamed to gpg2 and gpgv to gpgv2. This is a
temporary change to allow co-existing with stable gpg versions.
* ~/.gnupg/gpg.conf-1.9.0 is fist tried as config file before the
usual gpg.conf.
* Removed the -k, -kv and -kvv commands. -k is now an alias to
--list-keys. New command -K as alias for --list-secret-keys.
* Removed --run-as-shm-coprocess feature.
* gpg does now also use libgcrypt, libgpg-error is required.
* New gpgsm commands --call-dirmngr and --call-protect-tool.
* Changing a passphrase is now possible using "gpgsm --passwd"
* The content-type attribute is now recognized and created.
* The agent does now reread certain options on receiving a HUP.
