I'm pleased to announce the 1st beta version of Enigmail 2.1 for
Thunderbird 68.

Due to several deep changes in Thunderbird, Enigmail 2.1 only works with
Thunderbird 68, and Enigmail 2.0.* only with Thunderbird 60.*.


Major Changes since version 2.0
-------------------------------
* A new simplified setup wizard will first try to find out if you
  already used encrypted emails before, and then proceed in the most
  suitable way.
* On Windows and macOS, there is an automatic check for updates of
  GnuPG.
* Interaction with keyservers has been rewritten from scratch,
  using Thunderbird-internal functions to access the keyservers.
* Autocrypt: implemented key-gossip and updates to known keys
* Key creation defaults to ECC (for GnuPG 2.1 or newer)
* keys.openpgp.org is the new default keyserver. Existing settings
  are not modified.

I'm planning to release at least more beta version before the final
release.The localization files on Transifex, are up-to-date such
that localizers can translate the new strings.
