[gnupg-ru] [Announce] Dirmngr 1.0.2 released

[Werner Koch]

Hi!

We are pleased to announce the availability of Dirmngr version 1.0.2.

Dirmngr is a server for managing and downloading certificate
revocation lists (CRLs) for X.509 certificates and for downloading the
certificates themselves.  Dirmngr also handles OCSP requests as an
alternative to CRLs.  Although Dirmngr can be invoked on demand, it
should in general be installed as a system daemon.

Dirmngr, feel free to ask at gnupg-users на gnupg.org.


Support
=======

Improving Dirmngr is costly, but you can help!  We are looking for
organizations that find Dirmngr useful and wish to contribute back.
You can contribute by reporting bugs, improve the software, or by
donating money.

Commercial support contracts for Dirmngr are available, and they help
finance continued maintenance.  g10 Code GmbH, a Duesseldorf based
company owned and headed by GnuPG's principal author, is currently
funding Dirmngr development.  We are always looking for interesting
development projects.

A service directory is available at:

Thanks
======

We have to thank all the people who helped with this release.  The
folks at Intevation helped a lot to track down bugs and to define new
features.  Marcus Brinkmann is mainly responsible for completing the
Windows port.



Happy Hacking,

  Werner
