-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 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: e63add33e010b4224ba0841b21fe0bfe gnupg-1.2.1.tar.bz2 83e02b4905dab34c4dc25652936022f9 gnupg-1.2.1.tar.gz 0f57c5d13cc8c5cddcbfe9099d2551bc gnupg-1.2.0-1.2.1.diff.gz 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) p.s.
