[Announce] GnuPG Made Easy (GPGME) 1.12.0 released

[Werner Koch]

Hello!

We are pleased to announce version 1.12.0 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 like gpg and gpgsm easier for applications.
GPGME provides a high-level crypto API for encryption, decryption,
signing, signature verification, and key management.  GPGME comes with
language bindings for Common Lisp, C++, QT, Python 2 and 3.

See https://gnupg.org/software/gpgme for more.


Noteworthy changes in version 1.12.0
====================================

 * Enhanced the JSON based interface tool gpgme-json to support Native
   Messaging as well as new Javascript code to support the browser
   site.  See lang/js/README for details.

 * Major overhaul of the Python language bindings documentation.

 * Even for old versions of gpg a missing MDC will now lead to a
   decryption failure.

 * Added context flag "auto-key-locate" to control the
   behavior of GPGME_KEYLIST_MODE_LOCATE.

 * New data function to create a data object from an estream.

 * Add more interfaces to the C++ bindings.

 * Improved error codes on decryption failure.

 * Lots of minor fixes.

 * Interface changes relative to the 1.11.1 release:

 gpgme_data_new_from_estream                NEW.
 gpgme_decrypt_result_t           EXTENDED: New field legacy_cipher_nomdc.

Thanks
======

Maintenance and development of GnuPG is mostly financed by donations.
The GnuPG project currently employs one full-time developer and two
contractors.  All work exclusively on GnuPG and closely related software
like Libgcrypt and GPGME.

We have to thank all the people who helped the GnuPG project, be it
testing, coding, translating, suggesting, auditing, administering the
servers, spreading the word, and answering questions on the mailing
lists.

Many thanks to our numerous financial supporters, both corporate and
individuals.  Without you it would not be possible to keep GnuPG in a
good shape and address all the small and larger requests made by our
users.  Thanks.


Happy hacking,

  Your GnuPG hackers
