From wk на gnupg.org Mon Oct 18 13:33:51 2010 From: wk на gnupg.org (Werner Koch) Date: Mon, 18 Oct 2010 13:33:51 +0200 Subject: [gnupg-ru] [Announce] GnuPG 1.4.11 released Message-ID: <87pqv7zqe8.fsf@vigenere.g10code.de> Hello! We are pleased to announce the availability of a new stable GnuPG-1 release: Version 1.4.11. 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. 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 2.0.16) 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. What's New =========== * Bug fixes and portability changes. * Minor changes for better interoperability with GnuPG-2. Getting the Software ==================== Please follow the instructions found at http://www.gnupg.org/download/ or read on: GnuPG 1.4.11 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-1.4.11.tar.bz2 (3327k) gnupg-1.4.11.tar.bz2.sig GnuPG source compressed using BZIP2 and OpenPGP signature. gnupg-1.4.11.tar.gz (4603k) gnupg-1.4.11.tar.gz.sig GnuPG source compressed using GZIP and OpenPGP signature. gnupg-1.4.10-1.4.11.diff.bz2 (205k) A patch file to upgrade a 1.4.10 GnuPG source tree. This patch does not include updates of the language files. 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-1.4.11.exe (1588k) gnupg-w32cli-1.4.11.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 . 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-1.4.11.tar.bz2 you would use this command: gpg --verify gnupg-1.4.11.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 | gpg --import 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-1.4.11.tar.bz2, you would run the sha1sum command like this: sha1sum gnupg-1.4.11.tar.bz2 and check that the output matches the first line from the following list: 78e22f5cca88514ee71034aafff539c33f3c6676 gnupg-1.4.11.tar.bz2 bffb0c60b2e702980f7148ee3a060f29adc82331 gnupg-1.4.11.tar.gz 631b5129f918b7d30247ade8bcc27908951eaea0 gnupg-w32cli-1.4.11.exe f17729146c18d9288005ac0d93489c333c729345 gnupg-1.4.10-1.4.11.diff.bz2 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.
