Hello! We are pleased to announce the availability of GnuPG 1.9.23 - the branch of GnuPG heading towards a GnuPG 2.0 and featuring the OpenPGP as well as the S/MIME protocol.
This is a BETA release and not suitable for production use! Noteworthy changes in version 1.9.23 (2006-09-18) ------------------------------------------------- * 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. 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". * The gpgsm server may now output a key listing to the output file handle. This needs to be enabled using "OPTION list-to-output=1". * The --output option of gpgsm has now an effect on list-keys. * New gpgsm commands --dump-chain and list-chain. * gpg-connect-agent has new options to utilize descriptor passing. * A global trustlist may now be used. See doc/examples/trustlist.txt. * When creating a new pubring.kbx keybox common certificates are imported. Note, that gpg2 is now build by default and may actually be used. There are some minor things missing but most people should not be affected by this. Please test this release and report bugs. If you are a translator, please do not yet start with translations but wait for the first release candidate which is planned for early October. You may download it from one of the mirrors as listed at http://www.gnupg.org/download/mirrors.html or direct from the master server ftp://ftp.gnupg.org: ftp://ftp.gnupg.org/gcrypt/alpha/gnupg/gnupg-1.9.23.tar.bz2 (2227k) ftp://ftp.gnupg.org/gcrypt/alpha/gnupg/gnupg-1.9.23.tar.bz2.sig or as a patch against the previous release: ftp://ftp.gnupg.org/gcrypt/alpha/gnupg/gnupg-1.9.22-1.9.23.diff.bz2 (495k) For help on installing or running GnuPG 1.9 you should send mail to the gnupg-users mailing list or to one of the country specific lists. See http://www.gnupg.org/documentation/mailing-lists.html . Improving GnuPG is costly, but you can help! We are looking for organizations that find GnuPG useful and wish to contribute back. You can contribute by reporting bugs, improve the software, or by donating money. Commercial support contracts for GnuPG are available, and they help finance continued maintenance. g10 Code GmbH, a Duesseldorf based company owned and headed by gpg's principal author, is currently funding GnuPG development. We are always looking for interesting development projects.
