From wk на gnupg.org Fri Apr 25 18:51:21 2008 From: wk на gnupg.org (Werner Koch) Date: Fri, 25 Apr 2008 18:51:21 +0200 Subject: [gnupg-ru] [Announce] Libgcrypt 1.4.1 released Message-ID: <87ve2598ty.fsf@wheatstone.g10code.de> Hello! The GNU project is pleased to announce the availability of Libgcrypt version 1.4.1. This is a maintenance release to fix a few problems. Libgcrypt is a general purpose library of cryptographic building blocks. It is originally based on code used by GnuPG. It does not provide any implementation of OpenPGP or other protocols. Thorough understanding of applied cryptography is required to use Libgcrypt. Noteworthy changes in version 1.4.1 (2008-04-25) ------------------------------------------------ * Fixed a bug introduced by 1.3.1 which led to the comsumption of far too much entropy for the intial seeding. * Improved AES performance for CFB and CBC modes. * Removed build problems for the Padlock support. Source code is hosted at the GnuPG FTP server and its mirrors as listed at http://www.gnupg.org/download/mirrors.html . On the primary server the source file and its digital signatures is: ftp://ftp.gnupg.org/gcrypt/libgcrypt/libgcrypt-1.4.1.tar.bz2 (946k) ftp://ftp.gnupg.org/gcrypt/libgcrypt/libgcrypt-1.4.1.tar.bz2.sig This file is bzip2 compressed. A gzip compressed version is also available: ftp://ftp.gnupg.org/gcrypt/libgcrypt/libgcrypt-1.4.1.tar.gz (1179k) ftp://ftp.gnupg.org/gcrypt/libgcrypt/libgcrypt-1.4.1.tar.gz.sig Alternativley you may upgrade version 1.4.0 using this patch file: ftp://ftp.gnupg.org/gcrypt/libgcrypt/libgcrypt-1.4.0-1.4.1.diff.bz2 (49k) The SHA-1 checksums are: 367fe7fecd2ed4ab743849279dbc2f7e148f9956 libgcrypt-1.4.1.tar.bz2 36f1c6632fa06a6d3c92f83c3cdca8c7731a4220 libgcrypt-1.4.1.tar.gz 458fa5939df46da383df64b27ed8f8f580931618 libgcrypt-1.4.0-1.4.1.diff.bz2 For help on developing with Libgcrypt you should read the included manual and optional ask on the gcrypt-devel mailing list [1]. Improving Libgcrypt is costly, but you can help! We are looking for organizations that find Libgcrypt useful and wish to contribute back. You can contribute by reporting bugs, improve the software [2], order extensions or support or more general by donating money to the Free Software movement [3]. Commercial support contracts for Libgcrypt are available [4], and they help finance continued maintenance. g10 Code GmbH, a Duesseldorf based company, is currently funding Libgcrypt development. We are always looking for interesting development projects. Many thanks to all who contributed to Libgcrypt development, be it bug fixes, code, documentation, testing or helping users. Happy hacking, Werner [1] See http://www.gnupg.org/documentation/mailing-lists.html . [2] Note that copyright assignments to the FSF are required.

We are pleased to announce the availability of a new stable GnuPG-1 release: Version 1.4.9. This is a maintenance release to fix a possible vulnerability introduced with 1.4.8. The GNU Privacy Guard (GnuPG) is GNU's tool for secure communication and data storage. It is a complete and free replacement of PGP and can be used to encrypt data and to create digital signatures. It includes an advanced key management facility, samrtcard support and is compliant with the OpenPGP Internet standard as described by RFC-4880 (the recently released update of RFC-2440). Note that this version is from the GnuPG-1 series and thus smaller than those from the GnuPG-2 series, easier to build and also better portable. In contrast to GnuPG-2 (e.g version 2.0.8) it comes with no support for S/MIME or other tools useful for desktop environments. Fortunately you may install both versions alongside on the same system without any conflict. Getting the Software ==================== Please follow the instructions found at http://www.gnupg.org/download/ or read on: GnuPG 1.4.9 may be downloaded from one of the GnuPG mirror sites or direct from ftp://ftp.gnupg.org/gcrypt/ . 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 mirrors you should find the following files in the *gnupg* directory: gnupg-1.4.9.tar.bz2 (3250k) gnupg-1.4.9.tar.bz2.sig GnuPG source compressed using BZIP2 and OpenPGP signature. gnupg-1.4.9.tar.gz (4554k) gnupg-1.4.9.tar.gz.sig GnuPG source compressed using GZIP and OpenPGP signature. gnupg-1.4.8-1.4.9.diff.bz2 (12k) A patch file to upgrade a 1.4.8 GnuPG source. Select one of them. To shorten the download time, you probably want to get the BZIP2 compressed file. Please try another mirror if exceptional your mirror is not yet up to date. In the *binary* directory, you should find these files: gnupg-w32cli-1.4.9.exe (2119k) gnupg-w32cli-1.4.9.exe.sig GnuPG compiled for Microsoft Windows and OpenPGP signature. This is a command line only version; the source files are the same as given above. Note, that this is a minimal installer and unless you are just in need for the gpg binary, you are better off using the full featured installer at http://www.gpg4win.org . A new version of Gpg4win, including this version of GnuPG will be available and announced soon. 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-1.4.9.tar.bz2 you would use this command: gpg --verify gnupg-1.4.9.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-1.4.9.tar.bz2, you would run the sha1sum command like this: sha1sum gnupg-1.4.9.tar.bz2 and check that the output matches the second line from the following list: 826f4bef1effce61c3799c8f7d3cc8313b340b55 gnupg-1.4.9.tar.bz2 52a245d20da70a3f79a2134c8ece3a1d30554ffa gnupg-1.4.9.tar.gz 59ec735f425c37722746be68bf12565e2380362e gnupg-1.4.8-1.4.9.diff.bz2 c2efad983dfe50e6d8007257bad2c76604be389a gnupg-w32cli-1.4.9.exe What's New =========== * Improved AES encryption performance by more than 20% (on ia32). Decryption is also a bit faster. * Fixed possible memory corruption bug in 1.4.8 while importing OpenPGP keys. Internationalization ==================== GnuPG comes with support for 28 languages. Due to a lot of new and changed strings some translations are not entirely complete. The Chinese (Simple and Traditional), Czech, Dutch, French, German, Norwegian, Polish, Romanian, Russian, Spanish, Swedish and Turkish translations are close to be complete. 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 gpg's principal author, is currently funding GnuPG development. We are always looking for interesting development projects. A service directory is available at: http://www.gnupg.org/service.html 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.
