Noteworthy changes in version 2.2.17:
* gpg: Ignore all key-signatures received from keyservers. This
change is required to mitigate a DoS due to keys flooded with
faked key-signatures. The old behaviour can be achieved by adding
keyserver-options no-self-sigs-only,no-import-clean

keybox (pubring.kbx) do not error out but fallback to an import
using the options "self-sigs-only,import-clean".

refresh keys from the Web Key Directory or via other methods
configured with --auto-key-locate.

Changes:
Noteworthy changes in version 2.2.8 (2018-06-08)
------------------------------------------------
* gpg: Decryption of messages not using the MDC mode will now lead
to a hard failure even if a legacy cipher algorithm was used. The
option --ignore-mdc-error can be used to turn this failure into a
warning. Take care: Never use that option unconditionally or
without a prior warning.
* gpg: The MDC encryption mode is now always used regardless of the
cipher algorithm or any preferences. For testing --rfc2440 can be
used to create a message without an MDC.
* gpg: Sanitize the diagnostic output of the original file name in
verbose mode. [#4012, CVE-2018-12020]
* gpg: Detect suspicious multiple plaintext packets in a more
reliable way. [#4000]
* gpg: Fix the duplicate key signature detection code. [#3994]
* gpg: The options --no-mdc-warn, --force-mdc, --no-force-mdc,
--disable-mdc and --no-disable-mdc have no more effect.
* agent: Add DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS and a few other envvars to the
list of startup environment variables. [#3947]
Based on the previous default behave on NetBSD add bzip2 and zlib to the
suggested options. In the past gnupg2 automatically detected bzip2 and
zlib from the system and enabled these options also if no buildlink file
was present.
bzip2 and zlib still stay as options because if gnupg2 remote agent
forwarding is used both gnupg2 versions (local and remote) need to provide
the same compression options. This allow the user to build gnupg2 with or
without compression options if needed.
PKGREVISION bump because new suggested options might require an rebuild on
different operating systems if bzip2 and zlib was not accidentally detected
and enabled.
