From wk на gnupg.org Fri Nov 18 22:19:54 2016 From: wk на gnupg.org (Werner Koch) Date: Fri, 18 Nov 2016 22:19:54 +0100 Subject: [gnupg-ru] [Announce] GnuPG 2.1.16 released Message-ID: <87twb4pjt1.fsf@wheatstone.g10code.de> Hello! The GnuPG team is pleased to announce the availability of a new release of GnuPG modern: Version 2.1.16. See below for a list of new features and bug fixes. About GnuPG ============= 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) comes with the latest features and is suggested for most users. This announcement is about this branch. - GnuPG "stable" (2.0) is the currently mostly used branch which will be maintain until 2017-12-31. - GnuPG "classic" (1.4) is a simplified version of GnuPG, required on very old platforms or to decrypt data created with PGP-2 keys. 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 2.1.16 ==================================== * gpg: New algorithm for selecting the best ranked public key when using a mail address with -r, -R, or --locate-key. * gpg: New option --with-tofu-info to print a new "tfs" record in colon formatted key listings. * gpg: New option --compliance as an alternative way to specify options like --rfc2440, --rfc4880, et al. * gpg: Many changes to the TOFU implementation. * gpg: Improve usability of --quick-gen-key. * gpg: In --verbose mode print a diagnostic when a pinentry is launched. * gpg: Remove code which warns for old versions of gnome-keyring. * gpg: New option --override-session-key-fd. * gpg: Option --output does now work with --verify. * gpgv: New option --output to allow saving the verified data. * gpgv: New option --enable-special-filenames. * agent, dirmngr: New --supervised mode for use by systemd and alike. * agent: By default listen on all available sockets using standard names. * agent: Invoke scdaemon with --homedir. * dirmngr: On Linux now detects the removal of its own socket and terminates. * scd: Support ECC key generation. * scd: Support more card readers. * dirmngr: New option --allow-version-check to download a software version database in the background. * dirmngr: Use system provided CAs if no --hkp-cacert is given. * dirmngr: Use a default keyserver if none is explicitly set * gpgconf: New command --query-swdb to check software versions against an copy of an online database. * gpgconf: Print the socket directory with --list-dirs. * tools: The WKS tools now support draft version -02. * tools: Always build gpg-wks-client and install under libexec. * tools: New option --supported for gpg-wks-client. * The log-file option now accepts a value "socket://" to log to the socket named "S.log" in the standard socket directory. * Provide fake pinentries for use by tests cases of downstream developers. * Fixed many bugs and regressions. * Many changes and improvements for the test suite. 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 or read on: GnuPG 2.1.16 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. The GnuPG source code compressed using BZIP2 and its OpenPGP signature are available here: ftp://ftp.gnupg.org/gcrypt/gnupg/gnupg-2.1.16.tar.bz2 (5704k) ftp://ftp.gnupg.org/gcrypt/gnupg/gnupg-2.1.16.tar.bz2.sig or here: https://gnupg.org/ftp/gcrypt/gnupg/gnupg-2.1.16.tar.bz2 https://gnupg.org/ftp/gcrypt/gnupg/gnupg-2.1.16.tar.bz2.sig An installer for Windows without any graphical frontend except for a very minimal Pinentry tool is available here: ftp://ftp.gnupg.org/gcrypt/binary/gnupg-w32-2.1.16_20161118.exe (3684k) ftp://ftp.gnupg.org/gcrypt/binary/gnupg-w32-2.1.16_20161118.exe.sig or here https://gnupg.org/ftp/gcrypt/binary/gnupg-w32-2.1.16_20161118.exe https://gnupg.org/ftp/gcrypt/binary/gnupg-w32-2.1.16_20161118.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; it is still missing HKPS and Web Key Directory 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-2.1.16.tar.bz2 you would use this command: gpg --verify gnupg-2.1.16.tar.bz2.sig gnupg-2.1.16.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 the end of this mail 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-2.1.16.tar.bz2, you run the command like this: sha1sum gnupg-2.1.16.tar.bz2 and check that the output matches the next line: 67540161c9fe289153c4a5ea60f7cdce0ef48897 gnupg-2.1.16.tar.bz2 50b0bd286faa90e5c71417b5f2f36cf5de964084 gnupg-w32-2.1.16_20161118.exe dd7d33a941c47574830df2e35503cd8ba0788eda gnupg-w32-2.1.16_20161118.tar.xz Internationalization ==================== This version of GnuPG has support for 26 languages with Chinese, Czech, French, German, Japanese, Norwegian, Russian, and Ukrainian being almost completely translated. Due to expected changes in the next release some strings pertaining to the TOFU code are not translated in this version. 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.
