Hello! I forgot to insert the NEWS for 1.4.1; there are actually not that many as those for the last release. Here we go:
* New --rfc2440-text option which controls how text is handled in signatures. This is in response to some problems seen with certain PGP/MIME mail clients and GnuPG version 1.4.0. More details about this are available at <http://lists.gnupg.org/pipermail/gnupg-users/2005-January/024408.html>. * New "import-unusable-sigs" and "export-unusable-sigs" tags for --import-options and --export-options. These are off by default, and cause GnuPG to not import or export key signatures that are not usable (e.g. expired signatures). * New experimental HTTP, HTTPS, FTP, and FTPS keyserver helper that uses the cURL library <http://curl.haxx.se> to retrieve keys. This is disabled by default, but may be enabled with the configure option --with-libcurl. Without this option, the existing HTTP code is used for HTTP, and HTTPS, FTP, and FTPS are not supported. * When running a --card-status or --card-edit and a public key is available, missing secret key stubs will be created on the fly. Details of the key are listed too. * The implicit packet dumping in double verbose mode is now sent to stderr and not to stdout. * Added countermeasures against the Mister/Zuccherato CFB attack <http://eprint.iacr.org/2005/033>. * [W32] The algorithm for the default home directory changed: First we look at the environment variable GNUPGHOME, if this one is not set, we check whether the registry entry {HKCU,HKLM}\Software\GNU\GnuPG:HomeDir has been set. If this fails we use a GnuPG directory below the standard application data directory (APPDATA) of the current user. Only in the case that this directory cannot be determined, the old default of c:\gnupg will be used. The option --homedir still overrides all of them. * [W32] The locale selection under Windows changed. You need to enter the locale in the registry at HKCU\Software\GNU\GnuPG:Lang. For German you would use "de". If it is not set, GnuPG falls back to HKLM. The languages files "*.mo" are expected in a directory named "gnupg.nls" below the installation directory; that directory must be stored in the registry at the same key as above with the name "Install Directory". * Add new --edit-key command "bkuptocard" to allow restoring a card key from a backup. * The "fetch" command of --card-edit now retrieves the key using the default keyserver if no URL has been stored on the card. * New configure option --enable-noexecstack.
