Hi! We are pleased to announce the availability of Dirmngr version 1.0.2. Dirmngr is a server for managing and downloading certificate revocation lists (CRLs) for X.509 certificates and for downloading the certificates themselves. Dirmngr also handles OCSP requests as an alternative to CRLs. Although Dirmngr can be invoked on demand, it should in general be installed as a system daemon. Get it from: ftp://ftp.gnupg.org/gcrypt/dirmngr/dirmngr-1.0.2.tar.bz2 (541k) ftp://ftp.gnupg.org/gcrypt/dirmngr/dirmngr-1.0.2.tar.bz2.sig or as a patch against the last beta version: ftp://ftp.gnupg.org/gcrypt/dirmngr/dirmngr-1.0.1-1.0.2.diff.bz2 (144k) SHA-1 checksums are: 55c82f918731f142cbe26d598a97c0c08bd7d1f8 dirmngr-1.0.2.tar.bz2 8d1482be8e8189aec726e0b20d66a3bcfd43e459 dirmngr-1.0.1-1.0.2.diff.bz2 Whats new in this release ======================== * New option --url for the LOOKUP command and dirmngr-client. * The LOOKUP command does now also consults the local cache.

You can contribute by reporting bugs, improve the software, or by donating money. Commercial support contracts for Dirmngr are available, and they help finance continued maintenance. g10 Code GmbH, a Duesseldorf based company owned and headed by GnuPG's principal author, is currently funding Dirmngr development. We are always looking for interesting development projects.
