Hi,

This is a new relases with many fixes and enhancements.

Get it from "ftp.guug.de/pub/gcrypt". "g10/pubring.g10" is the ring
with my public key; it is also available at
"ftp.guug.de/pub/gcrypt/pubring.g10"

I made 2 signatures of the tar file, one with PGP and one with G10 :-)

The diff file does not contain pubring.g10 because it is binary and I
don't know how to feed such a file to patch - any hints?

>From NEWS:

    * Found a bug in the calculation of ELG fingerprints. This is now
      fixed, but all existing fingerprints and keyids for ELG keys
      are not any more valid.  Sorry.

    * armor should now work; including clear signed text.

    * moved some options to the new program g10maint

    * It's now 64 bit clean and runs fine on an alpha--linux.

    * Key generation is much faster now.  I fixed this by using not
      so strong random number for the primes (this was a bug because the
      ElGamal primes are public parameters and it does not make sense
      to generate them from strong random).  The real secret is the x value
      which is still generated from strong (okay: /dev/random) random bits.

    * added option "--status-fd": see g10/OPTIONS

    * We have secure memeory on systems which support mlock().
      It is not complete yet, because we do not have signal handler
      which does a cleanup in very case.
      We should also check the ulimit for the user in the case
      that the admin does not have set a limit on locked pages.
