* New option --url for the LOOKUP command and dirmngr-client.
* The LOOKUP command does now also consults the local cache. New
option --cache-only for it and --local for dirmngr-client.
* Port to Windows completed.
* Improved certificate chain construction.
* Support loading of PEM encoded CRLs via HTTP.
* Client based trust anchors are now supported.
* Configured certificates with the suffix ".der" are now also used.
* Libgcrypt 1.4 is now required.

pkgsrc notes:
I've left the build against a private libassuan with GNU-pth support
alone for now, just updated libassuan to 1.0.5. We might build
pkgsrc/libassuan against pkgsrc/pth at some point, but this needs
to be checked for side effects. (As this pkg doesn't export a library
which might propagate the pth dependency, the possibility of
pthread-pth conflicts should be limited. Other uses of libassuan
need to be checked.)
Beiing here, support DESTDIR.
* The option --ocsp-signer may now take a filename to allow several
certificates to be valid signers for the default responder.
* New option --ocsp-max-period and improved the OCSP time checks.
* New option --force-default-signer for dirmngr-client.
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. Dirmngr is either invoked internally by gpgsm
(from GnuPG-2) or when running as a system daemon through the
dirmngr-client tool.

Whats new in this release
=========================
* New option --daemon to start dirmngr as a system daemon. This
switches to the use of different directories and also does
CRL signing certificate validation on its own.
* New tool dirmngr-client.
* New options: --ldap-wrapper-program, --http-wrapper-program,
--disable-ldap, --disable-http, --honor-http-proxy, --http-proxy,
--ldap-proxy, --only-ldap-proxy, --ignore-ldap-dp and
--ignore-http-dp.
* Uses an external ldap wrapper to cope with timeouts and general
LDAP problems.
* SIGHUP may be used to reread the configuration and to flush the
certificate cache.
* An authorithyKeyIdentifier in a CRL is now handled correctly.
