From wk at g10code.com Thu Apr 21 17:23:26 2005 From: wk at g10code.com (Werner Koch) Date: Thu Apr 21 17:32:15 2005 Subject: [Announce] GnuPG 1.9.16 (S/MIME) released Message-ID: <87d5socfwx.fsf@wheatstone.g10code.de> -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hello! We are pleased to announce the availability of GnuPG 1.9.16; the development branch of GnuPG featuring the S/MIME protocol. GnuPG 1.9 is the development version of GnuPG; it is based on some old GnuPG 1.3 code and the previous NewPG package. It will eventually lead to a GnuPG 2.0 release. Note that GnuPG 1.4 and 1.9 are not yet in sync and thus features and bug fixes done in 1.4 are not available in 1.9. *Please keep on using 1.4.x for OpenPGP*; 1.9.x and 1.4.x may be installed simultaneously. You should use GnuPG 1.9 if you want to use the gpg-agent or gpgsm (the S/MIME variant of gpg). The gpg-agent is also helpful when using the stable gpg version 1.4 (as well as the old 1.2 series). This is mainly a bug fix release but comes with some new features as well: * gpg-agent does now support the ssh-agent protocol and thus allows to use the pinentry as well as the OpenPGP smartcard with ssh. * New tool gpg-connect-agent as a general client for the gpg-agent. * New tool symcryptrun as a wrapper for certain encryption tools. * The gpg tool is not anymore build by default because those gpg versions available in the gnupg 1.4 series are far more matured. Please get it from the mirrors as listed at http://www.gnupg.org/download/mirrors.html or direct from ftp.gnupg.org: ftp://ftp.gnupg.org/gcrypt/alpha/gnupg/gnupg-1.9.16.tar.bz2 (1667k) ftp://ftp.gnupg.org/gcrypt/alpha/gnupg/gnupg-1.9.16.tar.bz2.sig or as a patch against the previous release: ftp://ftp.gnupg.org/gcrypt/alpha/gnupg/gnupg-1.9.15-1.9.16.diff.bz2 (108k) You will also need to get a new libksba (the X.509 and CMS parser): ftp://ftp.gnupg.org/gcrypt/alpha/libksba/libksba-0.9.11.tar.bz2 (443k) ftp://ftp.gnupg.org/gcrypt/alpha/libksba/libksba-0.9.11.tar.bz2.sig a patch is also available: ftp://ftp.gnupg.org/gcrypt/alpha/libksba/libksba-0.9.10-0.9.11.diff.bz2 (112k) GnuPG 1.9 makes use of a separate tool for CRL checking, this is called the Dirmngr. We have also released a new version of it and we suggest to update to that release: ftp://ftp.gnupg.org/gcrypt/alpha/dirmngr/dirmngr-0.9.2.tar.bz2 (463k) ftp://ftp.gnupg.org/gcrypt/alpha/dirmngr/dirmngr-0.9.2.tar.bz2.sig as usual we also provide a patch: ftp://ftp.gnupg.org/gcrypt/alpha/dirmngr/dirmngr-0.9.1-0.9.2.diff.bz2 (16k) SHA-1 checksums for the above files are: 7e470baf9a91221342af5aad57319329bf983a3a gnupg-1.9.16.tar.bz2 5a296cd8788f7fe2495bc014f8e19a4d2a000dc8 gnupg-1.9.15-1.9.16.diff.bz2 0dc8a41b3165404ccdb0e4a3701412f7cc625b11 libksba-0.9.11.tar.bz2 9805a08fd74b64c23262d31b741b12b0a59f04b2 libksba-0.9.10-0.9.11.diff.bz2 0e8377deb78408b9081681ea1437667cc3c5b77e dirmngr-0.9.2.tar.bz2 5f02bd2a9c5ac9214e0412d48d8d5342e230a2b0 dirmngr-0.9.1-0.9.2.diff.bz2 Happy hacking, Werner -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.1 (GNU/Linux) iEYEARECAAYFAkJnxRgACgkQYHhOlAEKV+3RUgCeKeZvWsVNJDK5Mm5GKRmTzPjL /sMAoLmKF4+61cYHk/NxKUlmqUxSIq2T =yxLM -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- g10 Code GmbH http://g10code.com AmtsGer.

We are pleased to announce the availability of a release candidate for the forthcoming 1.4.2 version of gnupg: ftp://ftp.gnupg.org/gcrypt/alpha/gnupg/gnupg-1.4.2rc1.tar.bz2 (2808k) ftp://ftp.gnupg.org/gcrypt/alpha/gnupg/gnupg-1.4.2rc1.tar.bz2.sig A binary for MS Windows is not available because we did no MS Windows specific changes. Expect such a binary with the next release candidate in about 2 weeks. A diff file is also available but pretty large (800k) due to the changed address of the FSF and updated translations. Please try it out and report any problems to the gnupg-devel or gnupg-users list (http://www.gnupg.org/documentation/mailing-lists.html). Checksums are: e6c2a39dd3cc4919698ae62c1b52abff0f3888b7 gnupg-1.4.2rc1.tar.bz2 7578be7d9e397781219e9e84bd20d22113e3329b gnupg-1.4.1-1.4.2rc1.diff.bz2 Noteworthy changes since 1.4.1: * New command "verify" in the card-edit menu to display the Private-DO-3. The Admin command has been enhanced to take the optional arguments "on", "off" and "verify". The latter may be used to verify the Admin Pin without modifying data; this allows displaying the Private-DO-4 with the "list" command. * Rewrote large parts of the card code to optionally make use of a running gpg-agent. If --use-agent is being used and a gpg-agent with enabled scdaemon is active, gpg will now divert all card operations to that daemon. This is required because both, scdaemon and gpg require exclusive access to the card reader. By delegating the work to scdaemon, both can peacefully coexist and scdaemon is able to control the use of the reader. Note that this requires at least gnupg 1.9.17. * Fixed a couple of problems with the card reader. * Command completion is now available in the --edit-key and --card-edit menus. Filename completion is available at all filename prompts. Note that completion is only available if the system provides a readline library. * New experimental HKP keyserver helper that uses the cURL library. It is enabled via the configure option --with-libcurl like the other (also experimental) cURL helpers.

We are pleased to announce the availability of GnuPG 1.9.17 - the branch of GnuPG featuring the S/MIME protocol. You should consider using GnuPG 1.9 if you want to use the GPG-AGENT or GPGSM. The GPG-AGENT is also helpful when using the stable GPG version 1.4 or if you want to check out its ssh-agent replacement feature. GnuPG 1.9 is the current development version of GnuPG. Despite of that, most parts (in particular GPG-AGENT and GPGSM) are considered ready for production use. Please keep on using GnuPG 1.4.x for OpenPGP; 1.9 and 1.4 may - and actually should - be installed simultaneously. This release features a partly rewrite of the smartcard access code as well as several bug fixes and enhancements. Noteworthy things are: * gpg-connect-agent has now features to handle Assuan INQUIRE commands. * Internal changes for OpenPGP cards. New Assuan command WRITEKEY. * GNU Pth is now a hard requirement. * [scdaemon] Support for OpenSC has been removed. Instead a new and straightforward pkcs#15 modules has been written. As of now it does allows only signing using TCOS cards but we are going to enhance it to match all the old capabilities. * [gpg-agent] New option --write-env-file and Assuan command UPDATESTARTUPTTY. * [gpg-agent] New option --default-cache-ttl-ssh to set the TTL for SSH passphrase caching independent from the other passphrases.

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.
