Hello!

The GnuPG team is pleased to announce the availability of a new release
of GnuPG modern: Version 2.1.13.  See below for new features and bug
fixes.

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 still 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 2.1.13
====================================

 * gpg: New command --quick-addkey.  Extend the --quick-gen-key
   command.

 * gpg: New --keyid-format "none" which is now also the default.

 * gpg: New option --with-subkey-fingerprint.

 * gpg: Include Signer's UID subpacket in signatures if the secret key
   has been specified using a mail address and the new option
   --disable-signer-uid is not used.

 * gpg: Allow unattended deletion of a secret key.

 * gpg: Allow export of non-passphrase protected secret keys.

 * gpg: New status lines KEY_CONSIDERED and NOTATION_FLAGS.

 * gpg: Change status line TOFU_STATS_LONG to use '~' as
   a non-breaking-space character.

 * gpg: Speedup key listings in Tofu mode.

 * gpg: Make sure that the current and total values of a PROGRESS
   status line are small enough.

 * gpgsm: Allow the use of AES192 and SERPENT ciphers.

 * dirmngr: Adjust WKD lookup to current specs.

 * dirmngr: Fallback to LDAP v3 if v2 is is not supported.

 * gpgconf: New commands --create-socketdir and --remove-socketdir,
   new option --homedir.

 * If a /run/user/$UID directory exists, that directory is now used
   for IPC sockets instead of the GNUPGHOME directory.  This fixes
   problems with NFS and too long socket names and thus avoids the
   need for redirection files.

 * The Speedo build systems now uses the new versions.gnupg.org server
   to retrieve the default package versions.

 * Fix detection of libusb on FreeBSD.

 * Speedup fd closing after a fork.

A detailed description of the changes found in the 2.1 branch can be
found at <https://gnupg.org/faq/whats-new-in-2.1.html>.

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 2.1.13 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
<https://gnupg.org/download/mirrors.html>.  Note that GnuPG is not
available at ftp.gnu.org.

The GnuPG source code compressed using BZIP2 and its OpenPGP signature
are available here:

 ftp://ftp.gnupg.org/gcrypt/gnupg/gnupg-2.1.13.tar.bz2  (5415k)
 ftp://ftp.gnupg.org/gcrypt/gnupg/gnupg-2.1.13.tar.bz2.sig
or here:
 https://gnupg.org/ftp/gcrypt/gnupg/gnupg-2.1.13.tar.bz2
 https://gnupg.org/ftp/gcrypt/gnupg/gnupg-2.1.13.tar.bz2.sig

Please kill running gpg-agent and dirmngr processes before using this
release.

An installer for Windows without any graphical frontend except for a
basic Pinentry tool is available here:

 ftp://ftp.gnupg.org/gcrypt/binary/gnupg-w32-2.1.13_20160616.exe  (3527k)
 ftp://ftp.gnupg.org/gcrypt/binary/gnupg-w32-2.1.13_20160616.exe.sig
or here
 https://gnupg.org/ftp/gcrypt/binary/gnupg-w32-2.1.13_20160616.exe
 https://gnupg.org/ftp/gcrypt/binary/gnupg-w32-2.1.13_20160616.exe.sig

The source used to build the Windows installer can be found in the same
directory with a ".tar.xz" suffix.  This Windows installer comes with
Tofu support, translations, and support for Tor and the Tor browser.  It
is still missing HKPS support, though.


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-2.1.13.tar.bz2 you would use this command:

     gpg --verify gnupg-2.1.13.tar.bz2.sig gnupg-2.1.13.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-2.1.13.tar.bz2, you run the command like this:

     sha1sum gnupg-2.1.13.tar.bz2

   and check that the output matches the next line:

6ec1ae6db7815fdbd4151fb6b0b7197b65b05d1f  gnupg-2.1.13.tar.bz2
2debd757534d777bb9c69c18f9492e9a9e5a3a72  gnupg-w32-2.1.13_20160616.exe
44b473d355de8546351c4f737f807b40220715ff  gnupg-w32-2.1.13_20160616.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) <dshaw 'at' jabberwocky.com>

  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) <gniibe 'at' fsij.org>

  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 keys 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 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 (2168 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.
