-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hello! We are pleased to announce the availability of GnuPG 1.9.16; the development branch of GnuPG featuring the S/MIME protocol. GnuPG 1.9 is the development version of GnuPG; it is based on some old GnuPG 1.3 code and the previous NewPG package. It will eventually lead to a GnuPG 2.0 release. Note that GnuPG 1.4 and 1.9 are not yet in sync and thus features and bug fixes done in 1.4 are not available in 1.9. *Please keep on using 1.4.x for OpenPGP*; 1.9.x and 1.4.x may be installed simultaneously. You should use GnuPG 1.9 if you want to use the gpg-agent or gpgsm (the S/MIME variant of gpg). The gpg-agent is also helpful when using the stable gpg version 1.4 (as well as the old 1.2 series). This is mainly a bug fix release but comes with some new features as well: * gpg-agent does now support the ssh-agent protocol and thus allows to use the pinentry as well as the OpenPGP smartcard with ssh. * New tool gpg-connect-agent as a general client for the gpg-agent. * New tool symcryptrun as a wrapper for certain encryption tools. * The gpg tool is not anymore build by default because those gpg versions available in the gnupg 1.4 series are far more matured. Please get it from the mirrors as listed at http://www.gnupg.org/download/mirrors.html or direct from ftp.gnupg.org: ftp://ftp.gnupg.org/gcrypt/alpha/gnupg/gnupg-1.9.16.tar.bz2 (1667k) ftp://ftp.gnupg.org/gcrypt/alpha/gnupg/gnupg-1.9.16.tar.bz2.sig or as a patch against the previous release: ftp://ftp.gnupg.org/gcrypt/alpha/gnupg/gnupg-1.9.15-1.9.16.diff.bz2 (108k) You will also need to get a new libksba (the X.509 and CMS parser): ftp://ftp.gnupg.org/gcrypt/alpha/libksba/libksba-0.9.11.tar.bz2 (443k) ftp://ftp.gnupg.org/gcrypt/alpha/libksba/libksba-0.9.11.tar.bz2.sig a patch is also available: ftp://ftp.gnupg.org/gcrypt/alpha/libksba/libksba-0.9.10-0.9.11.diff.bz2 (112k) GnuPG 1.9 makes use of a separate tool for CRL checking, this is called the Dirmngr. We have also released a new version of it and we suggest to update to that release: ftp://ftp.gnupg.org/gcrypt/alpha/dirmngr/dirmngr-0.9.2.tar.bz2 (463k) ftp://ftp.gnupg.org/gcrypt/alpha/dirmngr/dirmngr-0.9.2.tar.bz2.sig as usual we also provide a patch: ftp://ftp.gnupg.org/gcrypt/alpha/dirmngr/dirmngr-0.9.1-0.9.2.diff.bz2 (16k) SHA-1 checksums for the above files are: 7e470baf9a91221342af5aad57319329bf983a3a gnupg-1.9.16.tar.bz2 5a296cd8788f7fe2495bc014f8e19a4d2a000dc8 gnupg-1.9.15-1.9.16.diff.bz2 0dc8a41b3165404ccdb0e4a3701412f7cc625b11 libksba-0.9.11.tar.bz2 9805a08fd74b64c23262d31b741b12b0a59f04b2 libksba-0.9.10-0.9.11.diff.bz2 0e8377deb78408b9081681ea1437667cc3c5b77e dirmngr-0.9.2.tar.bz2 5f02bd2a9c5ac9214e0412d48d8d5342e230a2b0 dirmngr-0.9.1-0.9.2.diff.bz2 Happy hacking, Werner -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.1 (GNU/Linux) iEYEARECAAYFAkJnxRgACgkQYHhOlAEKV+3RUgCeKeZvWsVNJDK5Mm5GKRmTzPjL /sMAoLmKF4+61cYHk/NxKUlmqUxSIq2T =yxLM -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- g10 Code GmbH http://g10code.com AmtsGer.
