Hi!
GnuPG 1.1.91 has been released yesterday night. This is a
*development version* aiming for the 1.2 release. It has a couple of
new features and fixes some bugs of course. There are a few new
things, so please read the news below.
The GnuPG primary server is {http,ftp}://ftp.gnupg.org/gcrypt/ but we
would appreciate if you can use one of the mirrors as listed below.
alpha/gnupg/gnupg-1.1.91.tar.gz (2483k)
alpha/gnupg/gnupg-1.1.91.tar.gz.sig
and a diff against 1.1.90:
alpha/gnupg/gnupg-1.1.90-1.1.91.diff.gz (439k)
A Windows binary will follow today.
And here are the news:
* All modules are now linked statically; the --load-extension
option is in general not useful anymore. The only exception is
to specify the deprecated idea cipher.
* When using --batch with one of the --delete-key commands, the
key must be specified by fingerprint. See the man page for
details.
* There are now various ways to restrict the ability GnuPG has to
exec external programs (for the keyserver helpers or photo ID
viewers). Read the README file for the complete list.
* New export option to leave off attribute packets (photo IDs)
during export. This is useful when exporting to HKP keyservers
which do not understand attribute packets.
* New import option to repair during import the HKP keyserver
mangling multiple subkeys bug. Note that this cannot completely
repair the damaged key as some crucial data is removed by the
keyserver, but it does at least give you back one subkey. This
is on by default for keyserver --recv-keys, and off by default
for regular --import.
* The keyserver helper programs now live in
/usr/[local/]libexec/gnupg by default. If you are upgrading
from 1.0.7, you might want to delete your old copies in
/usr/[local/]bin. If you use an OS that does not use libexec
for whatever reason, use --libexecdir=/usr/local/lib to place
the keyserver helpers there.
* The LDAP keyserver handler now works properly with very old
(version 1) LDAP keyservers.
There is an updated idea.c file (for those who can't resist) and it
has been sent to the ftp admin. This new version should work with old
GnuPGs as well as with this releases. Changes are due to dynloading,
so throwing the old file into the cipher directory before configuring
should still work.
Happy hacking,
The GnuPG Team.
