[gnupg-ru] [Announce] GPGME 1.4.0 released

[Werner Koch]

Hello!

I am pleased to announce version 1.4.0 of GPGME.

GnuPG Made Easy (GPGME) is a C language library that allows to add
support for cryptography to a program.  It is designed to make access
to public key crypto engines as included in GnuPG easier for
applications.  GPGME provides a high-level crypto API for encryption,
decryption, signing, signature verification and key management.  


Noteworthy changes in version 1.4.0 are:

 * New function gpgme_set_global_flag to help debugging on Android.

 * New function gpgme_io_writen as a convenience wrapper around
   gpgme_io_write.

 * New functions to support the pinentry mode feature of GnuPG 2.1.

 * New macro GPGME_VERSION_NUMBER to allow supporting different API
   versions without the need for a configure test.

 * Several improvements for gpgme-tool.

 * Better logging of the common "invalid engine" error code.

 * Support for FD passing is now enabled by default.  The configure
   option --disable-fd-passing may be used to disable this.

 * Interface changes relative to the 1.3.1 release:

Thanks to W. Trevor King for his contributions to gpgme-tool and to all
others who reported and fixed bugs and portability issues. 

A big THANK YOU goes to my former colleague Marcus Brinkmann: He
maintained GPGME for more than a decade and helped to turn it into the
standard API for GnuPG.

The driving force behind the development of the GnuPG system is my
company g10 Code.  Maintenance and improvement of GnuPG and related
software takes up most of our resources.  To allow us to continue our
work on free software, we ask to either purchase a support contract,
engage us for custom enhancements, or to donate money:
