Hi! After struggling for 6 month with Windows pecularities, we are finally pleased to announce the *first stable release of Gpg4win*, version 1.0.0!
The gpg4win project aims at updating the gpg4win Windows installation package with GnuPG encryption tool, associated applications and documentation on a regular basis. Especially the documentation (handbooks "Einsteiger" and "Durchblicker") are directly maintained as part of the gpg4win project. It is an international project. Due to the origin of the project the German language is fully supported. As of now the the handbooks are only available in German. People helping with translations are very welcome! The main difference compared to all other similar approaches (mainly GnuPP, GnuPT, Windows Privacy Tools and GnuPG-Basics) is that the first thing developed was the *gpg4win-Builder*. This builder allows to easily create new gpg4win.exe installers with updated components. The builder runs on any decent Unix system, preferable Debian GNU/Linux. Almost all products are automatically cross-compiled for integration into the installer. With this concept it is hoped to *prevent quick aging of the* *installer package*. This is due to easier updating and less dependancy on single developers. For installation instuctions, please visit http://www.gpg4win.org or read on. Developers who want to *build an installer* need to get the following files from http://wald.intevation.org/projects/gpg4win/ : gpg4win-1.0.0.tar.bz2 (4.0M) gpg4win-1.0.0.tar.bz2.sig The second file is a digital signature of the the first file. Either check that this signature is fine or compare with the checksums given below. (see also http://www.gnupg.org/download/integrity_check.html) The *ready to use installer* is available at: http://ftp.gpg4win.org/gpg4win-1.0.0.exe (6.8M) http://ftp.gpg4win.org/gpg4win-1.0.0.exe.sig Or using the ftp protocol at: ftp://ftp.gpg4win.org/gpg4win/gpg4win-1.0.0.exe (6.8M) ftp://ftp.gpg4win.org/gpg4win/gpg4win-1.0.0.exe.sig SHA1 and MD5 checksums for these files are given below. A separate installer with the the sources used to build the above installer is available at: ftp://ftp.gpg4win.org/gpg4win/gpg4win-src-1.0.0.exe (40M) ftp://ftp.gpg4win.org/gpg4win/gpg4win-src-1.0.0.exe.sig Most people don't need this source installer; it is merely stored on that server to satisfy the conditions of the GPL. In general it is better to get the gpg4win builder tarball (see above) and follow the instructions in the README to build new installers; building the installer is not possible on Windows machines and works best on current Debian GNU/Linux systems (we use the mingw32 package from Sid). SHA1 checksums are: 9525bb4947c02a764948cfe8d78f5400e39afc14 gpg4win-1.0.0.tar.bz2 c0ccd90c9aec23447bcd883cfd0602712967cfc6 gpg4win-1.0.0.exe 9c0bac7627a91ccbddd4dbdab522020b5ac91fe9 gpg4win-src-1.0.0.exe MD5 checksums are: 73d5f8e8c7e805fbf43075c6c6c09901 gpg4win-1.0.0.tar.bz2 299fa8567a484ea32706b11d318dbe9a gpg4win-1.0.0.exe 99f941d5d07b7c6e6860e490a081d1e7 gpg4win-src-1.0.0.exe We like to thank the authors of the included packages, the NSIS authors, all other contributors and first of all, those folks who stayed with us and tested the early releases of gpg4win.
