Hi!

Due to problems with GnuPG 1.4.7 as included in Gpg4win 1.1.3 on Windows
Vista we are about to do a new Gpg4win release 1.1.4.  Because there has
been no release for a long time I created a release candidate first.
Please report all regressions against 1.1.3 to this mailing list or
gnupg-users.  The installer and its signature is at:

  ftp://ftp.gpg4win.org/gpg4win/Beta/gpg4win-1.1.4rc1.exe   (9.7M)
  ftp://ftp.gpg4win.org/gpg4win/Beta/gpg4win-1.1.4rc1.exe.sig

or:

  http://ftp.gpg4win.org/Beta/gpg4win-1.1.4rc1.exe 
  http://ftp.gpg4win.org/Beta/gpg4win-1.1.4rc1.exe.sig

All the source files are in the source installer:

  ftp://ftp.gpg4win.org/gpg4win/Beta/gpg4win-src-1.1.4rc1.exe (59M)
  ftp://ftp.gpg4win.org/gpg4win/Beta/gpg4win-src-1.1.4rc1.exe.sig

Originally it was not planned to do such a release because we hoped that
Gpg4win/2 (current version is 1.9.13) would become stable much earlier
to fully replace the .1.3.  Obviously we did not achieved this and thus
this update of the old stable gpg4win.

There is not much new in this installer: GnuPG has been updated from
1.4.7 to 1.4.9 and GPA to version 0.8.0.  The included GnuPG-2 has also
been updated to the latest version.  There is no update for Claws-Mail
because that would have required too many changes nor an update of WinPT
because it does no longer support cross-building.  As a little benefit
the Paperkey tool and the Scute pkcs#11 DLL are automatically installed.

The final release shall follow in a week.


Salam-Shalom,

   Werner
