Hi!
I have just released newpg 0.9.4. NewPG is the S/MIME variant of
GnuPG which does also include the gpg-agent, useful even for GnuPG.
ftp://ftp.gnupg.org/gcrypt/alpga/aegypten/newpg-0.9.4.tar.gz (592k)
ftp://ftp.gnupg.org/gcrypt/alpga/aegypten/newpg-0.9.4.tar.gz.sig
or
ftp://ftp.gnupg.org/gcrypt/alpga/aegypten/newpg-0.9.3-0.9.4.diff.gz (50k)
To build this version, you need to install libksba 0.4.6 first.
Surprisingly, it has also been released a couple of minutes ago
ftp://ftp.gnupg.org/gcrypt/alpga/aegypten/libksba-0.4.6.tar.gz (432k)

or

So whats new in newpg:
* New gpgsm commands --call-dirmngr and --call-protect-tool.
* Changing a passphrase is now possible using "gpgsm --passwd"
* The content-type attribute is now recognized and created.
* The agent does now reread certain options on receiving a HUP.
and in libksba:
* DNs in pkcs#10 request are now created in reversed order as
specified by rfc2253.
* The content-type signed attribute is created.
* Fixed a parser bug with a id-aa-encrypKeyPref attribute.
Salam-Shalom,
Werner
