From wk at gnupg.org Wed Oct 5 14:54:49 2005 From: wk at gnupg.org (Werner Koch) Date: Wed Oct 5 14:56:41 2005 Subject: [Announce] Libgcrypt 1.2.2 released Message-ID: <87br24f7ja.fsf@wheatstone.g10code.de> Hello! We are pleased to announce the availability of Libgcrypt 1.2.2. Libgcrypt is a general purpose library of cryptographic building blocks. It is based on the code used in GnuPG. This is a bug fix release solving a weakness in the random number generator when used by forking servers. There are no new features. It is suggested that all users of Libgcrypt update to this version. Noteworthy changes are: * Made the RNG immune against fork without exec. * Minor changes to some function declarations. Buffer arguments are now typed as void pointer. This should not affect any compilation. * A bug in the definition of gcry_cipher_register has been fixed. Source code is hosted at the GnuPG FTP server and its mirrors as listed at http://www.gnupg.org/download/mirrors.html . On the primary server the source file and its digital signature are: ftp://ftp.gnupg.org/gcrypt/libgcrypt/libgcrypt-1.2.2.tar.bz2 (762k) ftp://ftp.gnupg.org/gcrypt/libgcrypt/libgcrypt-1.2.2.tar.bz2.sig These files are bzip2 compressed.

Its new location is: svn://cvs.gnupg.org/libgcrypt/branches/LIBGCRYPT-1-2-BRANCH For help on installing or developing with Libgcrypt you should send mail to the grcypt-devel mailing list. For details see http://www.gnupg.org/documentation/mailing-lists.html . Improving Libgcrypt is costly, but you can help! We are looking for organizations that find Libgcrypt useful and wish to contribute back. You can contribute by reporting bugs, improve the software, or by donating money. Commercial support contracts for Libgcrypt 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 Libgcrypt development. We are always looking for interesting development projects.

This is analyzed by the decrypt and verify handlers, the information about the plaintext filename, if available is made available in the new field file_name of the respective result structure. * The code for "automagically detecting the thread library" has been removed from libgpgme. It is deprecated since version 0.4.3. Since then, you had to link against libgpgme-pthread for applications using pthread and libgpgme-pth for applications using GNU Pth. The code was removed because it caused compilation problems on systems where the pthread.h header from GNU Pth is available in addition to the system header (FreeBSD 6 and later for example). * "./autogen.sh --build-w32" does now build gpgme.dll. * [W32] The environment variable GPGME_DEBUG now uses a semicolon as delimiter. The standard install directory is used when locating gpg or gpgsm before finally falling back to the hardwired name. * There is a new flag for keys and subkeys, is_qualified, which indicates if a key can be used for qualified signatures according to local government regulations. * You can associate a filename with a data object using the new function gpgme_data_set_file_name(). This filename will be stored in the output when encrypting or signing the data and will be returned when decrypting or verifying the output data. * You can now set notation data at signature creation with the new function gpgme_sig_notation_add(). * Interface changes relative to the 1.0.3 release: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ gpgme_set_engine_info NEW gpgme_ctx_get_engine_info NEW gpgme_ctx_set_engine_info NEW gpgme_recipient_t NEW gpgme_decrypt_result_t EXTENDED: New field recipients. gpgme_verify_result_t EXTENDED: New fields pubkey_algo, hash_algo. gpgme_decrypt_result_t EXTENDED: New field plaintext_filename. gpgme_verify_result_t EXTENDED: New field plaintext_filename.

Message-ID: <439CC4FE.2040105@excelcia.org> Hi all, I have just released version 1.2.2 of GPGee - the GnuPG Explorer Extension. This release adds a few minor features, a German language module (though no German help file yet), and fixes a bug where when performing an operation on multiple files, your passphrase would be asked for more than once. One much requested feature that has finally made it in is the ability for GPGee to process directories/subdirectories. The other additions are: - Menu entry for quick symmetrical encryption - Faster memory manager and a slightly changed processing routine so that the context menu appears more quickly when many files are selected. For those of you who are unfamilliar with the program, GPGee is the GnuPG Explorer Extension - a Windows shell extension front end for GnuPG that gives you access to GnuPG functionality directly through the Windows explorer right-click context menu. More information (including a full discussion of the new version) and downloads are available from: http://gpgee.excelcia.org Kurt Fitzner p.s. I could use volunteers to help with translation. Werner Koch took time out of his schedule to do the translation for the German language module. He just didn't have the time to do the help file - which is not surprising considering how much he does. If there are others who can help, it would be really appreciated. Translating the help file would be a fairly large job up-front. After that, ongoing work would be only whatever new strings are needed for new features. -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

Message-ID: <439DFF1B.6020007@excelcia.org> GPGee version 1.2.2 which was just announced has a bug in it, and version 1.2.3 has been released to correct it. As always, you can obtain the new version from http://gpgee.excelcia.org The problem with 1.2.2 is that activating the context menu's Configure command doesn't bring up the configuration window - it actually will cause some other (non GPGee) command in your context menu to be activated. I would urge anyone who has downloaded 1.2.2 to install the corrected 1.2.3. I am very sorry for releasing a buggy version.

We are pleased to announce the availability of GnuPG 1.9.20 - 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 is basically a bug fix release. * Importing pkcs#12 files created be recent versions of Mozilla works again. * Basic support for qualified signatures. * New debug tool gpgparsemail.
