Hello!
We are is pleased to announce the availability of a new GnuPG release:
version 2.2.2. This is a maintenance release; see below for a list of
fixed bugs.
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.

Getting the Software
====================
Please follow the instructions found at <https://gnupg.org/download/> or
read on:
GnuPG 2.2.2 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-2.2.2.tar.bz2 (6394k)
https://gnupg.org/ftp/gcrypt/gnupg/gnupg-2.2.2.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-w32-2.2.2_20171107.exe (3807k)
https://gnupg.org/ftp/gcrypt/binary/gnupg-w32-2.2.2_20171107.exe.sig
The source used to build the Windows installer can be found in the same
directory with a ".tar.xz" suffix. A new Gpg4win 3.0 installer
featuring this version of GnuPG will be available soon. In the meantime
you may install this version on top of an installed Gpg4win 3.0 version.
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-2.2.2.tar.bz2 you would use this command:
gpg --verify gnupg-2.2.2.tar.bz2.sig gnupg-2.2.2.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-2.2.2.tar.bz2, you run the command like this:
sha1sum gnupg-2.2.2.tar.bz2
and check that the output matches the next line:
efa00fc20295b1cafe467359107ea170258870e2 gnupg-2.2.2.tar.bz2
19224023f5a7750743d042b0bfbd5e44fbc9aeb2 gnupg-w32-2.2.2_20171107.exe
0bb69eb774f8c39b8092b5615a19e656bb681084 gnupg-w32-2.2.2_20171107.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.
Documentation and Support
=========================
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 reference manual of the system.
Separate man pages are included as well but they miss some of the
details availabale only in thee manual. The manual is also available
online at
https://gnupg.org/documentation/manuals/gnupg/
or can be downloaded as PDF 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 to search the GnuPG mailing
list archives or ask on the gnupg-users mailing list for advise on how
to solve problems. Most of the new features are around for several
years and thus enough public experience is available.
Please consult the archive of the gnupg-users mailing list before
reporting a bug: <https://gnupg.org/documentation/mailing-lists.html>.
We suggest to send bug reports for a new release to this list in favor
of filing a bug at <https://bugs.gnupg.org>. If you need commercial
support check out <https://gnupg.org/service.html>.
If you are a developer and you need a certain feature for your project,
please do not hesitate to bring it to the gnupg-devel mailing list for
discussion.
Thanks
======
Maintenance and development of GnuPG is mostly financed by donations.
The GnuPG project currently employs one full-time developer and one
contractor. Both work exclusivly on GnuPG and closely related software
like Libgcrypt, GPGME, and GPA. We are planning to extend our team
again. Right now we are looking for an admin for our bug tracker; see
<https://lists.gnupg.org/pipermail/gnupg-devel/2017-November/033225.html>
We have to thank all the people who helped the GnuPG project, be it
testing, coding, translating, suggesting, auditing, administering the
servers, spreading the word, answering questions on the mailing lists,
and with financial support.
Happy hacking,
Gniibe and Werner
