1.0.1c test release

[Werner Koch]

Hi,

I did a new test release of gnupg in order to prepare for 1.0.2.
Please get it from the usual places (see below for mirrors):

  ftp://ftp.gnupg.org/pub/gcrypt/devel/gnupg-1.0.1c.tar.gz (1535k)
  ftp://ftp.gnupg.org/pub/gcrypt/devel/gnupg-1.0.1c.tar.gz.sig 
  ftp://ftp.gnupg.org/pub/gcrypt/devel/gnupg-1.0.1a-1.0.1c.diff.gz (299k)

$ md5sum gnupg-*1.0.1c*gz
08df6fefc3e19d307716430061b9f045  gnupg-1.0.1a-1.0.1c.diff.gz
f86ea3649630343c2d6af690000bb991  gnupg-1.0.1c.tar.gz

Please note that it is a test release; however I believe it is quite
stable.

Have fun,

   Werner


Noteworthy changes in the current test release
----------------------------------------------

    * The user is now asked for the reason of revocation as required
      by the new OpenPGP draft.

    * There is a ~/.gnupg/random_seed file now which saves the
      state of the internal RNG and increases system performance
      somewhat.  This way the full entropy source is only used in
      cases were it is really required.
      Use the option --no-random-seed-file to disable this feature.

    * New option --ignore-time-conflict.

    * Some fixes for the W32 version

    * Encryption is now much faster: About 2 times for 1k bit keys
      and 8 times for 4k keys.

    * New encryption keys are generated in way which allows a much
      faster decryption.

    * New command --export-secret-subkeys which outputs the
      the _primary_ key with is's secret parts deleted.  This is
      useful for automated decryption/signature creation as it
      allows to keep the real secret primary key offline and
      thereby protecting the key certificates and allowing to
      create revocations for the subkeys.  See the FAQ for a
      procedure to install such secret keys.
