[Announce] GPGME 1.5.0 released

[Werner Koch]

Hello!

I am pleased to announce version 1.5.0 of GPGME.

  GnuPG Made Easy (GPGME) is a C language library that allows to add
  support for cryptography to a program.  It is designed to make access
  to public key crypto engines as included in GnuPG easier for
  applications.  GPGME provides a high-level crypto API for encryption,
  decryption, signing, signature verification, and key management.
  

* Noteworthy changes in version 1.5.0 (2014-05-21)

  - On Unices the engine file names are not not anymore hardwired but
    located via the envvar PATH.  All options to set the name of the
    engines for the configure run are removed.
 
  - If GPGME finds the gpgconf binary it defaults to using gpg2 or
    whatever gpgconf tells as name for the OpenPGP engine.  If gpgconf
    is not found, GPGME looks for an engine named "gpg".
 
  - New feature to use the gpgme I/O subsystem to run arbitrary
    commands.
 
  - New flag to use encryption without the default compression step.
 
  - New function to access "gpg-conf --list-dirs"
 
  - New configure option --enable-fixed-path for use by Android.
 
  - Support ECC algorithms.
 
  - Interface changes relative to the 1.4.3 release:

  The driving force behind the development of the GnuPG system is my
  company g10 Code.  Maintenance and improvement of GnuPG and related
  software takes up most of our resources.  To allow us to continue our
  work on free software, we ask to either purchase a support contract,
  engage us for custom enhancements, or to donate money:
