[Announce] Updated GnuPG 1.4.0 Windows binary

[Werner Koch]

Hello!

a couple of hours ago we announced GnuPG 1.4.0, claiming that a
compiled version for MS Windows is also available.  Unfortunately that
Windows version version has a severe bug which makes it pretty
unusable.  To fix this a new binary version has been released.  The
old file has been removed from the server and the new one has been
given the version number 1.4.0a.

If you already downloaded gnupg-w32cli-1.4.0.zip, you should replace
that with the new one:

 ftp://ftp.gnupg.org/gcrypt/binary/gnupg-w32cli-1.4.0a.zip    (1627k)
 ftp://ftp.gnupg.org/gcrypt/binary/gnupg-w32cli-1.4.0a.zip.sig

The SHA1 checksum of the zip file is:

  28be01b7f8eaa29db73d11bf8b9504e823c07c2b  gnupg-w32cli-1.4.0a.zip


I apologize for my silliness of not properly testing the Windows
version.


Salam-Shalom,

   Werner
