6a3f543732867149aaae27f0b780e08e  gnupg-1.2.5rc1.tar.gz.sig

As this is the stable branch, this release contains mostly bug and
portability fixes.  Please test this release and report any problems.

Noteworthy changes since 1.2.4:

    * New --ask-cert-level/--no-ask-cert-level option to turn on and
      off the prompt for signature level when signing a key.  Defaults
      to on.

    * New --min-cert-level option to disregard key signatures that are
      under a specified level.  Defaults to 1 (i.e. don't disregard
      anything).

    * New --max-output option to limit the amount of plaintext output
      generated by GnuPG.  This option can be used by programs which
      call GnuPG to process messages that may result in plaintext
      larger than the calling program is prepared to handle.  This is
      sometimes called a "Decompression Bomb".

    * New --list-config command for frontends and other programs that
      call GnuPG.  See doc/DETAILS for the specifics of this.

    * New --gpgconf-list command for internal use by the gpgconf
      utility from gnupg 1.9.x.

    * Some performance improvements with large keyrings.  See
      --enable-key-cache=SIZE in the README file for details.

    * Some portability fixes for the OpenBSD/i386, HPPA, and AIX
      platforms.

Happy hacking,

   The GnuPG Team (David, Stefan, Timo, Werner)
