Hello! The GnuPG Project is pleased to announce the availability of Libassuan 2.3.0. Libassuan is a generic IPC library used by GnuPG, GPGME, and a few other packages. This release fixes two bugs and introduces new support functions for the socket wrappers. Noteworthy changes in version 2.3.0 ================================== * Now wipes out the memory of the context structure before freeing. The context may have stored sensitive data in its line buffers. * Fixed a problem with the data length limit in assuan_inquire. * Returns GPG_ERR_SOURCE_ASSUAN with errors from functions w/o a context. * Two new functions to tweak the behaviour of the socket wrappers. * Experimental code to support Cygwin's local sockets. * By default build without a build timestamp. * Interface changes relative to the 2.2.1 release: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ assuan_sock_set_flag NEW. assuan_sock_get_flag NEW.
