+
+* GnuPG Roadmap
+ :PROPERTIES:
+ :CUSTOM_ID: gnupg
+ :END:
+
+ This page has information on what we plan to do and what new
+ features will go into which version. This is _not_ a list of
+ guaranteed milestones or with fixed release dates. This page should
+ better be viewed as a scratchpad with notes of GnuPG developers.
+
+ The next GnuPG /modern/ release will be 2.1.2 and is planned for
+ January.
+
+** New features in 2.1
+
+ - gpg: The parameter 'Passphrase' for batch key generation works
+ again.
+
+ - gpg: Using a passphrase option in batch mode now has the expected
+ effect on --quick-gen-key.
+
+
+** All things to do
+
+ - Fix flaws in HKPS support
+
+ - Add LDAP keyserver support
+
+ - +Add unattended key generation with passphrase.+
+
+
+
+* Libgcrypt Roadmap
+ :PROPERTIES:
+ :CUSTOM_ID: gcrypt
+ :END:
+
+ Libgcrypt is used by a lot of other projects and thus deserves its
+ own roadmap
+
+
+** Things to be done for Libgcrypt 1.7
+
+ The next release will be 1.7 with a lot of performance improvements
+ and a few new features. Here are the things we want to have before
+ the 1.7.0 release:
+
+ - +Add OCB mode+
+ - Update of the Windows entropy gatherer (rndw32.c)
+
+
+ The rndw32 update is pretty important because it has not seen any
+ updates for years. We need to compare the code against the latest
+ Cryptlib. Updating rndunix could also be done but it is not very
+ important given that all mainstream OS now feature a /dev/random.
