+
+
+Hello!
+
+We are pleased to announce the availability of a new stable GnuPG-2
+release: Version 2.0.14.
+
+The GNU Privacy Guard (GnuPG) is GNU's tool for secure communication
+and data storage. It can be used to encrypt data, create digital
+signatures, help authenticating using Secure Shell and to provide a
+framework for public key cryptography. It includes an advanced key
+management facility and is compliant with the OpenPGP and S/MIME
+standards.
+
+GnuPG-2 has a different architecture than GnuPG-1 (e.g. 1.4.10) in
+that it splits up functionality into several modules. However, both
+versions may be installed alongside without any conflict. In fact,
+the gpg version from GnuPG-1 is able to make use of the gpg-agent as
+included in GnuPG-2 and allows for seamless passphrase caching. The
+advantage of GnuPG-1 is its smaller size and the lack of dependency on
+other modules at run and build time. We will keep maintaining GnuPG-1
+versions because they are very useful for small systems and for server
+based applications requiring only OpenPGP support.
+
+GnuPG is distributed under the terms of the GNU General Public License
+(GPL version 3). GnuPG-2 works best on GNU/Linux or *BSD systems.
+
+
+What's New
+===========
+
+ * The default for --include-cert is now to include all certificates
+ in the chain except for the root certificate.
+
+ * Numerical values may now be used as an alternative to the
+ debug-level keywords.
+
+ * The GPGSM --audit-log feature is now more complete.
+
+ * GPG now supports DNS lookups for SRV, PKA and CERT on W32.
+
+ * New GPGSM option --ignore-cert-extension.
+
+ * New and changed passphrases are now created with an iteration count
+ requiring about 100ms of CPU work.
+
+
+
+Getting the Software
+====================
+
+Please follow the instructions found at http://www.gnupg.org/download/
+or read on:
+
+GnuPG 2.0.14 may be downloaded from one of the GnuPG mirror sites or
+direct from ftp://ftp.gnupg.org/gcrypt/gnupg/ . The list of mirrors
+can be found at http://www.gnupg.org/mirrors.html . Note, that GnuPG
+is not available at ftp.gnu.org.
+
+On the FTP server and its mirrors you should find the following files
+in the gnupg/ directory:
+
+ gnupg-2.0.14.tar.bz2 (3889k)
+ gnupg-2.0.14.tar.bz2.sig
+
+ GnuPG source compressed using BZIP2 and OpenPGP signature.
+
+ gnupg-2.0.13-2.0.14.diff.bz2 (42k)
+
+ A patch file to upgrade a 2.0.13 GnuPG source tree. This patch
+ does not include updates of the language files.
+
+Note, that we don't distribute gzip compressed tarballs for GnuPG-2.
+
+
+Checking the Integrity
+======================
+
+In order to check that the version of GnuPG which you are going to
+install is an original and unmodified one, you can do it in one of
+the following ways:
+
+ * If you already have a trusted version of GnuPG installed, you
+ can simply check the supplied signature. For example to check the
+ signature of the file gnupg-2.0.14.tar.bz2 you would use this command:
+
+ gpg --verify gnupg-2.0.14.tar.bz2.sig
+
+ This checks whether the signature file matches the source file.
+ You should see a message indicating that the signature is good and
+ made by that signing key. Make sure that you have the right key,
+ either by checking the fingerprint of that key with other sources
+ or by checking that the key has been signed by a trustworthy other
+ key. Note, that you can retrieve the signing key using the command
+
+ finger wk ,at' g10code.com
+
+ or using a keyserver like
+
+ gpg --recv-key 1CE0C630
+
+ The distribution key 1CE0C630 is signed by the well known key
+ 5B0358A2. If you get an key expired message, you should retrieve a
+ fresh copy as the expiration date might have been prolonged.
+
+ NEVER USE A GNUPG VERSION YOU JUST DOWNLOADED TO CHECK THE
+ INTEGRITY OF THE SOURCE - USE AN EXISTING GNUPG INSTALLATION!
+
+ * If you are not able to use an old version of GnuPG, you have to verify
+ the SHA-1 checksum. Assuming you downloaded the file
+ gnupg-2.0.14.tar.bz2, you would run the sha1sum command like this:
+
+ sha1sum gnupg-2.0.14.tar.bz2
+
+ and check that the output matches the first line from the
+ following list:
+
+cc5e4637f37f5bc82b00c73fc094ddadb7401821 gnupg-2.0.14.tar.bz2
+cad88a7f3653479df41ddb7956b9f8a0ff6f2185 gnupg-2.0.13-2.0.14.diff.bz2
+
+
+Internationalization
+====================
+
+GnuPG comes with support for 27 languages. Due to a lot of new and
+changed strings many translations are not entirely complete. Jedi,
+Maxim Britov, Jaime Suárez and Nilgün Belma Bugüner have been kind
+enough to go over their translations and thus the Chinese, German,
+Russian, Spanish, and Turkish translations are pretty much complete.
+
+
+Documentation
+=============
+
+We are currently working on an installation guide to explain in more
+detail how to configure the new features. As of now the chapters on
+gpg-agent and gpgsm include brief information on how to set up the
+whole thing. Please watch the GnuPG website for updates of the
+documentation. In the meantime you may search the GnuPG mailing list
+archives or ask on the gnupg-users mailing lists for advise on how to
+solve problems. Many of the new features are around for several years
+and thus enough public knowledge is already available. KDE's KMail is
+the most prominent user of GnuPG-2. In fact it has been developed along
+with the KMail folks. Mutt users might want to use the configure
+option "--enable-gpgme" and "set use_crypt_gpgme" in ~/.muttrc to make
+use of GnuPG-2 to enable S/MIME in addition to a reworked OpenPGP
+support.
+
+The manual is also available online in HTML format at
+ http://www.gnupg.org/documentation/manuals/gnupg/
+and in Portable Document Format at
+ http://www.gnupg.org/documentation/manuals/gnupg.pdf .
+
+
+Support
+=======
+
+Improving GnuPG is costly, but you can help! We are looking for
+organizations that find GnuPG useful and wish to contribute back.
+You can contribute by reporting bugs, improve the software, order
+extensions or support or more general by donating money to the Free
+Software movement (e.g. http://www.fsfeurope.org/help/donate.en.html).
+
+Commercial support contracts for GnuPG are available, and they help
+finance continued maintenance. g10 Code GmbH, a Duesseldorf based
+company owned and headed by GnuPG's principal author, is currently
+funding GnuPG development. We are always looking for interesting
+development projects.
+
+The GnuPG service directory is available at:

+
+
+Thanks
+======
+
+We have to thank all the people who helped with this release, be it
+testing, coding, translating, suggesting, auditing, administering the
+servers, spreading the word or answering questions on the mailing
+lists.
+
+
+Happy Hacking,
+
+ The GnuPG Team
