From wk на gnupg.org Tue Sep 19 13:10:46 2017 From: wk на gnupg.org (Werner Koch) Date: Tue, 19 Sep 2017 13:10:46 +0200 Subject: [gnupg-ru] [Announce] GnuPG 2.2.1 released Message-ID: <87poankkp5.fsf@wheatstone.g10code.de> Hello! We are is pleased to announce the availability of a new GnuPG release: version 2.2.1. 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. Noteworthy changes in version 2.2.1 =================================== * gpg: Fix formatting of the user id in batch mode key generation if only "name-email" is given. * gpgv: Fix annoying "not suitable for" warnings. * wks: Convey only the newest user id to the provider. This is the case if different names are used with the same addr-spec. * wks: Create a complying user id for provider policy mailbox-only. * wks: Add workaround for posteo.de. * scd: Fix the use of large ECC keys with an OpenPGP card. * dirmngr: Use system provided root certificates if no specific HKP certificates are configured. If build with GNUTLS, this was already the case. Further, the Windows installer has been built against an updated NTBTLS libary which does now support ECC curves secp384r1, secp521r1, as well as brainpool curves. Getting the Software ==================== Please follow the instructions found at or read on: GnuPG 2.2.1 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: https://gnupg.org/ftp/gcrypt/gnupg/gnupg-2.2.1.tar.bz2 (6385k) https://gnupg.org/ftp/gcrypt/gnupg/gnupg-2.2.1.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-w32-2.2.1_20170919.exe (3799k) https://gnupg.org/ftp/gcrypt/binary/gnupg-w32-2.2.1_20170919.exe.sig The source used to build the Windows installer can be found in the same directory with a ".tar.xz" suffix. The new Gpg4win 3.0 installer 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-2.2.1.tar.bz2 you would use this command: gpg --verify gnupg-2.2.1.tar.bz2.sig gnupg-2.2.1.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-2.2.1.tar.bz2, you run the command like this: sha1sum gnupg-2.2.1.tar.bz2 and check that the output matches the next line: 5455373fd7208b787f319027de2464721cdd4413 gnupg-2.2.1.tar.bz2 bcf1905655e52e2eec794bcbba72485f7b9ed2d3 gnupg-w32-2.2.1_20170919.exe 72ab40a7336be7b2c9fb4f6ff1f15e5c5b8cdb6f gnupg-w32-2.2.1_20170919.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 ============= 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.

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 search the GnuPG mailing list archives or ask on the gnupg-users mailing list for advise on how to solve problems.
