Hi,

We are pleased to announce version 1.2 of libgpg-error,
a library for common error values and messages in GnuPG components.

This is a shared library so it can be updated independently of each
individual component, while still allowing the use of new error values in
inter-process communication.

It may be found in the file (about 438 KB/328 KB compressed)
ftp://ftp.gnupg.org/gcrypt/libgpg-error/libgpg-error-1.2.tar.gz
ftp://ftp.gnupg.org/gcrypt/libgpg-error/libgpg-error-1.2.tar.bz2

The following files are also available:

ftp://ftp.gnupg.org/gcrypt/libgpg-error/libgpg-error-1.1-1.2.diff.gz

It should soon appear on the mirrors listed at:

Noteworthy changes in version 1.2 (2006-03-03)
----------------------------------------------

 * New function gpg_err_init, which binds the locale directory to
   the text domain.  This function is a constructor on GCC targets,
   so it does not need to be called explicitely.  The header file
   defines GPG_ERR_INITIALIZED in this case.  This is experimental for
   now.

 * "./autogen.sh --build-w32" does now also build a DLL for W32.
   Translations are not yet provided for this platform.

 * New error codes GPG_ERR_UNKNOWN_EXTN and GPG_ERR_UNKNOWN_CRIT_EXTN.

 * New error code GPG_ERR_LOCKED.

 * New translations included for France, Romania, and Vietnamese.

 * Interface changes relative to the 1.1 release:
