Hello!
We are pleased to announce the availability of GnuPG version 1.2.1.
This is mainly a bug fix release.
The GNU Privacy Guard (GnuPG) is GNU's tool for secure communication
and data storage. It is a complete and free replacement of PGP and
can be used to encrypt data and to create digital signatures. It
includes an advanced key management facility and is compliant with the
proposed OpenPGP Internet standard as described in RFC2440.
GnuPG 1.2.1 can be downloaded from the GnuPG main server or one of its
mirror sites (see below or http://www.gnupg.org/mirrors.html).
These source packages are available:
ftp://ftp.gnupg.org/gcrypt/gnupg/gnupg-1.2.1.tar.bz2 (1.8M)
ftp://ftp.gnupg.org/gcrypt/gnupg/gnupg-1.2.1.tar.bz2.sig
GnuPG source compressed using BZIP2 and OpenPGP signature.
ftp://ftp.gnupg.org/gcrypt/gnupg/gnupg-1.2.0.tar.gz (2.5M)
ftp://ftp.gnupg.org/gcrypt/gnupg/gnupg-1.2.0.tar.gz.sig
GnuPG source compressed using GZIP and OpenPGP signature.
ftp://ftp.gnupg.org/gcrypt/gnupg/gnupg-1.2.0-1.2.1.diff.gz (374k)
A patch file to upgrade a 1.2.0 GnuPG source.
Select one of them. To shorten the download time, you probably want
to get the BZIP2 compressed file. Please try another mirror if
exceptional your mirror is not yet up to date.
We also provide one binary package build from the above source:
ftp://ftp.gnupg.org/gcrypt/binary/gnupg-w32cli-1.2.1.zip (1.1M)
ftp://ftp.gnupg.org/gcrypt/binary/gnupg-w32cli-1.2.1.zip.sig
GnuPG compiled for Microsoft Windows and OpenPGP signature.
Note that this is a command line version and comes without a
graphical installer tool. You have to use an UNZIP utility to
extract the files and install them manually. The included file
README.W32 has further instructions.
Please don't forget to check the integritry of the packages; either by
verifying the provided signature or by comparing the MD5 checksum:

00c9935497c69464e744bba030ce585f gnupg-w32cli-1.2.1.zip
Here is a list of major user visible changes since 1.2.1:
* The library dependencies for OpenLDAP seem to change fairly
frequently, and GnuPG's configure script cannot guess all the
combinations. Use ./configure LDAPLIBS="-L libdir -l libs" to
override the script and use the libraries selected.
* Secret keys generated with --export-secret-subkeys are now
indicated in key listings with a '#' after the "sec",
and in
--with-colons listings by showing no capabilities (no lowercase
characters).
* --trusted-key has been un-obsoleted, as it is useful for adding
ultimately trusted keys from the config file. It is identical
to using --edit and "trust" to change a key to ultimately
trusted.
* The usual bug fixes as well as fixes to build problems on some
systems.
Many thanks to Swebase AB for now hosting ftp.gnupg.org.
Happy Hacking,
The GnuPG team (David, Stefan, Timo and Werner)
