GnuPG 1.0 released

[Werner Koch]

Hello folks,

after about 9 months of Beta testing, I am now glad to tell you that I
released the

                 GNU Privacy Guard  1.0

a few minutes ago.  As usual it should build right out of the box on
all GNU/Linux systems and most other Unices too.

Get it from the FTP server or from one of the mirrors:

  ftp://ftp.gnupg.org/pub/gcrypt/gnupg/gnupg-1.0.0.tar.gz  (1332k)

Do not forget to verify the signature or the MD5 checksum, which is:

  bba45febd501acf8e19db402506dae94  gnupg-1.0.0.tar.gz

You can also download a patch file:

 ftp://ftp.gnupg.org/pub/gcrypt/gnupg/gnupg-0.9.11-1.0.0.diff.gz  (140k)

This version is intended as a stable production version and we will
only apply bug fixes and small enhancements to it.  We will soon set
up a development version 1.1 to play a little bit with the code ;-)

The GNU Privacy Guard has been created by the GnuPG team:

Matthew Skala, Michael Roth, Niklas Hernaeus, Rémi Guyomarch
and Werner Koch.  Gael Queri, Gregory Steuck, Janusz A. Urbanowicz,
Marco d'Itri, Thiago Jung Bauermann, Urko Lusa and Walter Koch
did the official translations.	Mike Ashley is working on the
GNU Privacy Handbook.
