Changelog from idea.c file indicates:
* 2002-12-11 wk __ppc__ is used on Darwin instead of __powerpc__.
Used .sig file to check download was ok.
Closes pkg/19749
Major user visible changes are:
* 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.
Note that patch-aa and patch-ab are no longer needed as was, patch-aa now
contains fixes to handle dlsym errors properly.
Also now include libiconv/buildlink2.mk as gnupg looks for iconv.
Fixes pkg/18221.
2002-09-21 Werner Koch <wk@gnupg.org>

recent OpenLDAPs (>=2.0.23) support that.
2002-09-14 David Shaw <dshaw@jabberwocky.com>
* configure.ac: Try linking LDAP without -lresolv first, just in
case the platform has libresolv, but doesn't actually need it to
use LDAP.

compile time and --disable-keyserver-helpers and
--disable-photo-viewers to allow disabling one without disabling
the other.
2002-07-03 David Shaw <dshaw@jabberwocky.com>

compiler flags for shared objects.
2002-06-11 David Shaw <dshaw@jabberwocky.com>
* configure.ac: Move -lsocket and -lnsl checks before LDAP link
tests so they work properly on Solaris. Noted by David Champion.
Also, check for the Mozilla LDAP library if the OpenLDAP library
check fails. Put -lsocket and -lnsl in NETLIBS rather than LIBS
so not all programs are forced to link to them.
2002-06-05 David Shaw <dshaw@jabberwocky.com>
* configure.ac: Add a switch for the experimental external HKP
keyserver interface.
2002-05-22 Werner Koch <wk@gnupg.org>
* configure.ac: Check for strcasecmp and strncasecmp. Removed
stricmp and memicmp checks.
2002-05-08 David Shaw <dshaw@jabberwocky.com>
* configure.ac: If LDAP comes up unusable, try #including <lber.h>
before giving up. Old versions of OpenLDAP require that.
2002-05-03 David Shaw <dshaw@jabberwocky.com>
* configure.ac: In g10defs.h, use \ for the directory separator
when HAVE_DOSISH_SYSTEM is on.
* configure.ac: Add --disable-exec flag to disable all remote
program execution. --disable-exec implies --disable-ldap and
--disable-mailto. Also look in /usr/lib for sendmail. If
sendmail is not found, do not default - just fail.
2002-04-30 David Shaw <dshaw@jabberwocky.com>
* configure.ac: Try and link to a sample LDAP program to check if
the LDAP we're about to use is really sane. The most common
problem (using a very old OpenLDAP), could be fixed with an extra
#include, but this would not be very portable to other LDAP
libraries.
Bumped PKGREVISION to 1, changed PLIST accordingly and added 2 patches
for configure and configure.ac. Patches were sent to gnupg-bugs@gnu.org.
Thomas Klausner approved.
* Secret keys are now stored and exported in a new format which
uses SHA-1 for integrity checks. This format renders the
Rosa/Klima attack useless. Other OpenPGP implementations might
not yet support this, so the option --simple-sk-checksum creates
the old vulnerable format.
* The default cipher algorithm for encryption is now CAST5,
default hash algorithm is SHA-1. This will give us better
interoperability with other OpenPGP implementations.
* Symmetric encrypted messages now use a fixed file size if
possible. This is a tradeoff: it breaks PGP 5, but fixes PGP 2,
6, and 7. Note this was only an issue with RFC-1991 style
symmetric messages.
* Photographic user ID support. This uses an external program to
view the images.
* Enhanced keyserver support via keyserver "plugins". GnuPG comes
with plugins for the NAI LDAP keyserver as well as the HKP email
keyserver. It retains internal support for the HKP HTTP
keyserver.
* Nonrevocable signatures are now supported. If a user signs a
key nonrevocably, this signature cannot be taken back so be
careful!
* Multiple signature classes are usable when signing a key to
specify how carefully the key information (fingerprint, photo
ID, etc) was checked.
* --pgp2 mode automatically sets all necessary options to ensure
that the resulting message will be usable by a user of PGP 2.x.
* --pgp6 mode automatically sets all necessary options to ensure
that the resulting message will be usable by a user of PGP 6.x.
* Signatures may now be given an expiration date. When signing a
key with an expiration date, the user is prompted whether they
want their signature to expire at the same time.
* Revocation keys (designated revokers) are now supported if
present. There is currently no way to designate new keys as
designated revokers.
* Permissions on the .gnupg directory and its files are checked
for safety.
* --expert mode enables certain silly things such as signing a
revoked user id, expired key, or revoked key.
* Some fixes to build cleanly under Cygwin32.
* New tool gpgsplit to split OpenPGP data formats into packets.
* New option --preserve-permissions.
* Subkeys created in the future are not used for encryption or
signing unless the new option --ignore-valid-from is used.
* Revoked user-IDs are not listed unless signatures are listed too
or we are in verbose mode.
* There is no default comment string with ascii armors anymore
except for revocation certificates and --enarmor mode.
* The command "primary" in the edit menu can be used to change the
primary UID, "setpref" and "updpref" can be used to change the
preferences.
* Fixed the preference handling; since 1.0.5 they were erroneously
matched against against the latest user ID and not the given one.
* RSA key generation.
* It is now possible to sign and conventional encrypt a message (-cs).
* The MDC feature flag is supported and can be set by using
the "updpref" edit command.
* The status messages GOODSIG and BADSIG are now returning the primary
UID, encoded using %XX escaping (but with spaces left as spaces,
so that it should not break too much)
* Support for GDBM based keyrings has been removed.
* The entire keyring management has been revamped.
* The way signature stati are store has changed so that v3
signatures can be supported. To increase the speed of many
operations for existing keyrings you can use the new
--rebuild-keydb-caches command.
* The entire key validation process (trustdb) has been revamped.
See the man page entries for --update-trustdb, --check-trustdb
and --no-auto-check-trustdb.
* --trusted-keys is again obsolete, --edit can be used to set the
ownertrust of any key to ultimately trusted.
* A subkey is never used to sign keys.
* Read only keyrings are now handled as expected.

further information.
Changes:
Fixed a format string bug which is exploitable if --batch is not used.
Checked all translations for format strings bugs.
Removed the Russian translation due to too many bugs.
Fixed keyserver access and expire time calculation.
Some pkg related changes by me.
Changes since 1.0.4:
* WARNING: The semantics of --verify have changed to address a
problem with detached signature detection. --verify now ignores
signed material given on stdin unless this is requested by using
a "-" as the name for the file with the signed material. Please
check all your detached signature handling applications and make
sure that they don't pipe the signed material to stdin without
using a filename together with "-" on the the command line.
* WARNING: Corrected hash calculation for input data larger than
512M - it was just wrong, so you might notice bad signature in
some very big files. It may be wise to keep an old copy of
GnuPG around.
* Secret keys are no longer imported unless you use the new option
--allow-secret-key-import. This is a kludge and future versions will
handle it in another way.
* New command "showpref" in the --edit-key menu to show an easier
to understand preference listing.
* There is now the notation of a primary user ID. For example, it
is printed with a signature verification as the first user ID;
revoked user IDs are not printed there anymore. In general the
primary user ID is the one with the latest self-signature.
* New --charset=utf-8 to bypass all internal conversions.
* Large File Support (LFS) is now working.
* New options: --ignore-crc-error, --no-sig-create-check,
--no-sig-cache, --fixed_list_mode, --no-expensive-trust-checks,
--enable-special-filenames and --use-agent. See man page.
* New command --pipemode, which can be used to run gpg as a
co-process. Currently only the verification of detached
signatures are working. See doc/DETAILS.
* Rewritten key selection code so that GnuPG can better cope with
multiple subkeys, expire dates and so. The drawback is that it
is slower.
* A whole lot of bug fixes.
* The verification status of self-signatures are now cached. To
increase the speed of key list operations for existing keys you
can do the following in your GnuPG homedir (~/.gnupg):
$ cp pubring.gpg pubring.gpg.save && $ gpg --export-all >x && \
rm pubring.gpg && gpg --import x
Only v4 keys (i.e not the old RSA keys) benefit from this caching.
* New translations: Estonian, Turkish.
first component is now a package name+version/pattern, no more
executable/patchname/whatnot.
While there, introduce BUILD_USES_MSGFMT as shorthand to pull in
devel/gettext unless /usr/bin/msgfmt exists (i.e. on post-1.5 -current).
Patch by Alistair Crooks <agc@netbsd.org>
* Fixed a serious bug which could lead to false signature verification
results when more than one signature is fed to gpg. This is the
primary reason for releasing this version.
* New utility gpgv which is a stripped down version of gpg to
be used to verify signatures against a list of trusted keys.
* Rijndael (AES) is now supported and listed with top preference.
* --with-colons now works with --print-md[s].
Based on an update provided by Mipam <mipam@ibb.net>.
