* When using --import along with --with-validation, the imported
certificates are validated and only imported if they are fully
valid.

* [gpg-agent] When used without --daemon or --server, gpg-agent now
check whether a agent is already running and usable.
* Fixed some i18n problems.
Noteworthy changes in version 1.9.10 (2004-07-22)
-------------------------------------------------
* Fixed a serious bug in the checking of trusted root certificates.
* New configure option --enable-agent-pnly allows to build and
install just the agent.
* Fixed a problem with the log file handling.
Noteworthy changes in version 1.9.9 (2004-06-08)
------------------------------------------------
* [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.
* [gpgsm] New commands --dump-{,secret,external}-keys to show a very
detailed view of the certificates.
* The keybox gets now compressed after 3 hours and ephemeral
stored certificates are deleted after about a day.
* [gpg] Usability fixes for --card-edit. Note, that this has already
been ported back to gnupg-1.3
Noteworthy changes in version 1.9.7 (2004-04-06)
------------------------------------------------
* Instrumented the modules for gpgconf.
* Added support for DINSIG card applications.
* Include the smimeCapabilities attribute with signed messages.
* Now uses the gettext domain "gnupg2" to avoid conflicts with gnupg
versions < 1.9.
Noteworthy changes in version 1.9.6 (2004-03-06)
------------------------------------------------
* Code cleanups and bug fixes.
Noteworthy changes in version 1.9.5 (2004-02-21)
------------------------------------------------
* 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.
A new command --export-secret-key-p12 is provided to allow
exporting of secret keys in PKCS\#12 format.
* [gpgsm] The pinentry will now present a description of the key for
whom the passphrase is requested.
* [gpgsm] New option --with-validation to check the validity of key
while listing it.
* New option --debug-level={none,basic,advanced,expert,guru} to map
the debug flags to sensitive levels on a per program base.
Noteworthy changes in version 1.9.4 (2004-01-30)
------------------------------------------------
* Added support for the Telesec NKS 2.0 card application.
* Added simple tool addgnupghome to create .gnupg directories from
/etc/skel/.gnupg.
* 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.
Noteworthy changes in version 1.9.2 (2003-11-17)
------------------------------------------------
* On card key generation is no longer done using the --gen-key
command but from the menu provided by the new --card-edit command.
* PINs are now properly cached and there are only 2 PINs visible.
The 3rd PIN (CHV2) is internally syncronized with the regular PIN.
* 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.
* The pinentry is now forked for each request so that clients with
different environments are supported. When running in daemon mode
and --keep-display is not used the DISPLAY variable is ignored.
* Merged stuff from the newpg branch and started this new
development branch.
