Hello! I am pleased to announce version 1.4.0 of GPGME. GnuPG Made Easy (GPGME) is a C language library that allows to add support for cryptography to a program. It is designed to make access to public key crypto engines as included in GnuPG easier for applications. GPGME provides a high-level crypto API for encryption, decryption, signing, signature verification and key management. Noteworthy changes in version 1.4.0 are: * New function gpgme_set_global_flag to help debugging on Android. * New function gpgme_io_writen as a convenience wrapper around gpgme_io_write. * New functions to support the pinentry mode feature of GnuPG 2.1. * New macro GPGME_VERSION_NUMBER to allow supporting different API versions without the need for a configure test. * Several improvements for gpgme-tool. * Better logging of the common "invalid engine" error code. * Support for FD passing is now enabled by default. The configure option --disable-fd-passing may be used to disable this. * Interface changes relative to the 1.3.1 release: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ GPGME_VERSION_NUMBER NEW. gpgme_io_writen NEW. gpgme_set_global_flag NEW. gpgme_set_pinentry_mode NEW. gpgme_get_pinentry_mode NEW. gpgme_pinentry_mode_t NEW.

Trevor King for his contributions to gpgme-tool and to all others who reported and fixed bugs and portability issues. A big THANK YOU goes to my former colleague Marcus Brinkmann: He maintained GPGME for more than a decade and helped to turn it into the standard API for GnuPG. Please send questions regarding the use of GPGME to the gnupg-devel mailing list: http://lists.gnupg.org/mailman/listinfo/gnupg-devel If you need commercial support, you may want to consult this listing: http://www.gnupg.org/service.html The driving force behind the development of the GnuPG system is my company g10 Code. Maintenance and improvement of GnuPG and related software takes up most of our resources. To allow us to continue our work on free software, we ask to either purchase a support contract, engage us for custom enhancements, or to donate money: http://g10code.com/gnupg-donation.html Happy hacking, Werner -- Die Gedanken sind frei.
