From wk ÎÁ gnupg.org Thu Aug 13 10:37:33 2009 From: wk ÎÁ gnupg.org (Werner Koch) Date: Thu, 13 Aug 2009 10:37:33 +0200 Subject: [gnupg-ru] [Announce] Gpg4win 2.0.0 has been released Message-ID: <87bpmk6rea.fsf@wheatstone.g10code.de> Hi! Building and installing GnuPG on the Microsoft Windows platform is more complicated than doing this on a Unix platform. To help users we are providing binary versions of GnuPG as part of the Gpg4win project. Thus if you need GnuPG on Microsoft Windows, we suggest to use the Gpg4win installer. The installer allows to select the required components. If you only need GnuPG, you may just download the light version of the installer. However, most users want the full fledged version with all the GUI tools. Find below the original announcement. With the exception of the KDE parts and a few utility libraries, the installer has been build from the original sources by me. There are a few patches applied to add features From the soon to be released 2.0.13 version of GnuPG; these patches are part of the installer source tarball. Shalom-Salam, Werner ============== From: Emanuel Sch?tze Subject: [Gpg4win-announce] Gpg4win 2.0.0 released To: gpg4win-announce ÎÁ wald.intevation.org Date: Wed, 12 Aug 2009 20:28:33 +0200 Hello, we are pleased to announce the availability of a new stable Gpg4win release: Version 2.0.0. This is the first production release of the major redesign. Over the last 15 months we did 16 beta releases and hopefully squashed most of the serious bugs. The download is available via the usual download page: http://www.gpg4win.org/download.html Changes ------- Gpg4win2 has major changes compared to Gpg4win 1.x. Below is a list of the most important ones: - Kleopatra is the new certificate manager. Kleopatra is the S/MIME certificate manager of KDE (a desktop environment used on many GNU/Linux systems). For use in Gpg4win it has been extended to support OpenPGP and to act as a graphical user interface for all cryptographic operations. It is automatically started if another component requests its services and then runs permanently in your system tray. WinPT has been dropped. - GpgEX is the new plugin for the Microsoft Explorer and replaces GpgEE. - The mail program Claws Mail has been updated to a modern version. It now supports SSL, NNTP and IMAP. - GpgOL, the plugin for Outlook 2003 and 2007 has been comprehensively updated. It now supports PGP/MIME and thus makes the use of encrypted or signed attachments much easier and standard conform. Support for S/MIME has been added. Most dialogs are now provided by Kleopatra for graphical user dialogs. - The German "Gpg4win-Kompendium" is the new documentation for Gpg4win. This combines the previous "Einsteiger" and "Durchblicker" manuals. All chapters were reworked and extended to describe the new Gpg4win Version 2.0. Among other things, this means adaption to Kleopatra, GpgEX and PGP/MIME and new texts for S/MIME and X.509. - Support of these platforms: Operating System: Windows 2000, XP (32/64), Vista (32/64) Outlook: 2003, 2007 - Included components are: GnuPG: 2.0.12 Kleopatra: 2.0.11-svn1008232 (20090807) GPA: 0.9.0 GpgOL: 1.0.0 GpgEX: 0.9.3 Claws-Mail: 3.7.2 Kompendium: 3.0.0-beta3 Installation ------------ For installation instructions, 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/ : š gpg4win-2.0.0.tar.bz2 (5M) š gpg4win-2.0.0.tar.bz2.sig The second file is a digital signature of the the first file. šEither check that this signature is fine or compare with the checksums given below. š(see also http://www.gpg4win.org/package-integrity.html) The *ready to use installer* is available at: š http://ftp.gpg4win.org/gpg4win-2.0.0.exe š(35M) š http://ftp.gpg4win.org/gpg4win-2.0.0.exe.sig Or using the ftp protocol at: š ftp://ftp.gpg4win.org/gpg4win/gpg4win-2.0.0.exe š(35M) š ftp://ftp.gpg4win.org/gpg4win/gpg4win-2.0.0.exe.sig SHA1 checksums for these files are given below. If you don't need the manuals or the GnuPG2 command line tools for S/MIME, you might alternatively download the "light" version of the installer: š http://ftp.gpg4win.org/gpg4win-light-2.0.0.exe š(12M) š http://ftp.gpg4win.org/gpg4win-light-2.0.0.exe.sig or using FTP at: š ftp://ftp.gpg4win.org/gpg4win/gpg4win-light-2.0.0.exe (12M) š ftp://ftp.gpg4win.org/gpg4win/gpg4win-light-2.0.0.exe.sig A separate installer with the source files used to build the above installer is available at: š ftp://ftp.gpg4win.org/gpg4win/gpg4win-src-2.0.0.exe š(277M) š ftp://ftp.gpg4win.org/gpg4win/gpg4win-src-2.0.0.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 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 helped testing Gpg4win. To help furthering this project, please consider to sponsor the development. šSee http://www.gpg4win.org . With best regards š šyour Gpg4win Development Team -- Die Gedanken sind frei.
