Hello!
Arguing that you don't care about the right to privacy
because you have nothing to hide is no different from
saying you don't care about free speech because you have
nothing to say. - Edward Snowden
The GnuPG team is pleased to announce the availability of a new release
of GnuPG: version 2.2.0. See below for a list of new features and bug
fixes. This release marks the start of a new long term support series
to replace the 2.0.x series which will reach end-of-life on 2017-12-31.
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. As an Universal Crypto
Engine 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.
Noteworthy changes in version 2.2.0
===================================
This is the new long term stable branch. This branch will only see
bug fixes and no new features.
* gpg: Reverted change done in 2.1.23 so that --no-auto-key-retrieve
is again the default.
* Fixed a few minor bugs.
This release incorporates all changes from the 2.1 series including
these from the release candidate 2.1.23:
* gpg: "gpg" is now installed as "gpg" and not anymore as "gpg2".
If needed, the new configure option --enable-gpg-is-gpg2 can be
used to revert this.
* gpg: Option --auto-key-locate "local,wkd" is now used by default.
Note: this enables keyserver and Web Key Directory operators to
notice when you intend to encrypt to a mail address without having
the key locally. This new behaviour will eventually make key
discovery much easier and mostly automatic. Disable this by adding
auto-key-locate local
to your gpg.conf. [This description has been adjusted to include
the above mentioned change in 2.2.0]
* agent: Option --no-grab is now the default. The new option --grab
allows to revert this.
* gpg: New import option "show-only".
* gpg: New option --disable-dirmngr to entirely disable network
access for gpg.
* gpg,gpgsm: Tweaked DE-VS compliance behaviour.
* New configure flag --enable-all-tests to run more extensive tests
during "make check".
* gpgsm: The keygrip is now always printed in colon mode as
documented in the man page.
* Fixed connection timeout problem under Windows.
A detailed description of the changes in the 2.2 (formerly 2.1) branch
can be found at <https://gnupg.org/faq/whats-new-in-2.1.html>.
Getting the Software
====================
Please follow the instructions found at <https://gnupg.org/download/> or
read on:
GnuPG 2.2.0 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:
https://gnupg.org/ftp/gcrypt/gnupg/gnupg-2.2.0.tar.bz2 (6379k)
https://gnupg.org/ftp/gcrypt/gnupg/gnupg-2.2.0.tar.bz2.sig
An installer for Windows without any graphical frontend except for a
very minimal Pinentry tool is available here:
https://gnupg.org/ftp/gcrypt/binary/gnupg-w32-2.2.0_20170828.exe (3797k)
https://gnupg.org/ftp/gcrypt/binary/gnupg-w32-2.2.0_20170828.exe.sig
The source used to build the Windows installer can be found in the same
directory with a ".tar.xz" suffix. A new release candidate for Gpg4win
featuring this version of GnuPG will be available in a few days.
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-2.2.0.tar.bz2 you would use this command:
gpg --verify gnupg-2.2.0.tar.bz2.sig gnupg-2.2.0.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-2.2.0.tar.bz2, you run the command like this:
sha1sum gnupg-2.2.0.tar.bz2
and check that the output matches the next line:
36ee693d0b2ec529ecf53dd6d397cc38ba71c0a7 gnupg-2.2.0.tar.bz2
7b0cf3912b86a6bd7655026276984a34a248e625 gnupg-w32-2.2.0_20170828.exe

Internationalization
====================
This version of GnuPG has support for 26 languages with Chinese, Czech,
French, German, Japanese, Norwegian, Russian, and Ukrainian being almost
completely translated.
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.
