From wk на gnupg.org Wed Jul 1 15:19:19 2015 From: wk на gnupg.org (Werner Koch) Date: Wed, 01 Jul 2015 15:19:19 +0200 Subject: [gnupg-ru] [Announce] GnuPG 2.1.6 released Message-ID: <87h9poggmg.fsf@vigenere.g10code.de> Hello! The GnuPG Project is pleased to announce the availability of a new release of GnuPG modern: Version 2.1.6. The GNU Privacy Guard (GnuPG) is a complete and free implementation of the OpenPGP standard which is commonly abbreviated as PGP. GnuPG allows to encrypt and sign data and communication, features a versatile key management system as well as access modules for public key directories. GnuPG itself is a command line tool with features for easy integration with other applications. A wealth of frontend applications and libraries making use of GnuPG are available. Since version 2 GnuPG provides support for S/MIME and Secure Shell in addition to OpenPGP. GnuPG is Free Software (meaning that it respects your freedom). It can be freely used, modified and distributed under the terms of the GNU General Public License. Three different branches of GnuPG are actively maintained: - GnuPG "modern" (2.1) is the latest development with a lot of new features. This announcement is about this branch. - GnuPG "stable" (2.0) is the current stable version for general use. This is what most users are currently using. - GnuPG "classic" (1.4) is the old standalone version which is most suitable for older or embedded platforms. You may not install "modern" (2.1) and "stable" (2.0) at the same time. However, it is possible to install "classic" (1.4) along with any of the other versions. Noteworthy changes in version 2.1.6 =================================== * agent: New option --verify for the PASSWD command. * gpgsm: Add command option "offline" as an alternative to --disable-dirmngr. * gpg: Do not prompt multiple times for a password in pinentry loopback mode. * Allow the use of debug category names with --debug. * Using gpg-agent and gpg/gpgsm with different locales will now show the correct translations in Pinentry. * gpg: Improve speed of --list-sigs and --check-sigs. * gpg: Make --list-options show-sig-subpackets work again. * gpg: Fix an export problem for old keyrings with PGP-2 keys. * scd: Support PIN-pads on more readers. * dirmngr: Properly cleanup zombie LDAP helper processes and avoid hangs on dirmngr shutdown. * Various other bug fixes. A detailed description of the changes found in the 2.1 branch can be found at . Please be aware that there are still known bugs which we are working on. Check https://bugs.gnupg.org, https://wiki.gnupg.org, and the mailing list archives for known problems and workarounds. Getting the Software ==================== Please follow the instructions found at https://gnupg.org/download/ or read on: GnuPG 2.1.6 may be downloaded from one of the GnuPG mirror sites or direct from its primary FTP server. The list of mirrors can be found at . Note that GnuPG is not available at ftp.gnu.org. On ftp.gnupg.org you find these files: ftp://ftp.gnupg.org/gcrypt/gnupg/gnupg-2.1.6.tar.bz2 (4802k) ftp://ftp.gnupg.org/gcrypt/gnupg/gnupg-2.1.6.tar.bz2.sig This is the GnuPG source code compressed using BZIP2 and its OpenPGP signature. ftp://ftp.gnupg.org/gcrypt/binary/gnupg-w32-2.1.6_20150701.exe (2577k) ftp://ftp.gnupg.org/gcrypt/binary/gnupg-w32-2.1.6_20150701.exe.sig This is an installer for Windows without graphical frontends except for a basic Pinentry tool. Please de-install an installed Gpg4win version before trying this installer. Note that on Window TLS access to keyservers is not yet available. The sources used to build the installer can be found in the same directory with an ".tar.xz" suffix. 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 version of GnuPG installed, you can simply verify the supplied signature. For example to verify the signature of the file gnupg-2.1.6.tar.bz2 you would use this command: gpg --verify gnupg-2.1.6.tar.bz2.sig gnupg-2.1.6.tar.bz2 This checks whether the signature file matches the source file. You should see a message indicating that the signature is good and made by one or more of the release signing keys. Make sure that this is a valid key, either by matching the shown fingerprint against a trustworthy list of valid release signing keys or by checking that the key has been signed by trustworthy other keys. See below for information on the signing keys. * If you are not able to use an existing version of GnuPG, you have to verify the SHA-1 checksum. On Unix systems the command to do this is either "sha1sum" or "shasum". Assuming you downloaded the file gnupg-2.1.6.tar.bz2, you would run the command like this: sha1sum gnupg-2.1.6.tar.bz2 and check that the output matches the next line: 9e8157b3386da04760657ce3117fc4dc570c57c5 gnupg-2.1.6.tar.bz2 a8cd2e7ab48abb94c126051df902e3380faf117e gnupg-w32-2.1.6_20150701.exe 1d3e70504f993d1297f04564dfda222f8b68a96f gnupg-w32-2.1.6_20150701.tar.xz Release Signing Keys ==================== To guarantee that a downloaded GnuPG version has not been tampered by malicious entities we provide signature files for all tarballs and binary versions. The keys are also signed by the long term keys of their respective owners. Current releases are signed by one or more of these four keys: 2048R/4F25E3B6 2011-01-12 [expires: 2019-12-31] Key fingerprint = D869 2123 C406 5DEA 5E0F 3AB5 249B 39D2 4F25 E3B6 Werner Koch (dist sig) rsa2048/E0856959 2014-10-29 [expires: 2019-12-31] Key fingerprint = 46CC 7308 65BB 5C78 EBAB ADCF 0437 6F3E E085 6959 David Shaw (GnuPG Release Signing Key) rsa2048/33BD3F06 2014-10-29 [expires: 2016-10-28] Key fingerprint = 031E C253 6E58 0D8E A286 A9F2 2071 B08A 33BD 3F06 NIIBE Yutaka (GnuPG Release Key) rsa2048/7EFD60D9 2014-10-19 [expires: 2020-12-31] Key fingerprint = D238 EA65 D64C 67ED 4C30 73F2 8A86 1B1C 7EFD 60D9 Werner Koch (Release Signing Key) You may retrieve these files from a keyserver using this command gpg --keyserver hkp://keys.gnupg.net --recv-keys \ 249B39D24F25E3B6 04376F3EE0856959 \ 2071B08A33BD3F06 8A861B1C7EFD60D9 The keys are also available at https://gnupg.org/signature_key.html and in any recently released GnuPG tarball in the file g10/distsigkey.gpg . Note that this mail has been signed using by a different key. Internationalization ==================== This version of GnuPG has support for 26 languages with Chinese, Czech, French, German, Japanese, Russian, and Ukrainian being almost completely translated (2075 different strings). Documentation ============= If you used GnuPG in the past you should read the description of changes and new features at doc/whats-new-in-2.1.txt or online at https://gnupg.org/faq/whats-new-in-2.1.html The file gnupg.info has the complete user manual of the system. Separate man pages are included as well but they have not all the details available as are the manual. It is also possible to read the complete manual online in HTML format at https://gnupg.org/documentation/manuals/gnupg/ or in Portable Document Format at https://gnupg.org/documentation/manuals/gnupg.pdf . The chapters on gpg-agent, gpg and gpgsm include information on how to set up the whole thing. You may also want search the GnuPG mailing list archives or ask on the gnupg-users mailing lists for advise on how to solve problems. Many of the new features are around for several years and thus enough public knowledge is already available. You may also want to follow postings at https://gnupg.org/blob/.
