Changes since 20090531:
+ only prompt for a passphrase on the secret key if there is a passphrase
on the secret key
CHANGES 1.99.10 -> 1.99.11
+ address keys array from 0 with unsigned indices
+ print results to io->res stream - default to stderr, and set using
netpgp_setvar(..., "results", filename)
+ __ops_keyid()'s third arg was always the size of the keyid array - no need
to pass it
+ get rid of the excessive type-checking in packet-show-cast.h, which wasn't
necessary, and fold all the show routines into packet-show.c
+ introduce a generic __ops_new() and use it for some structure allocation
CHANGES 1.99.9 -> 1.99.10
+ fix a bug in decryption whereby a bad passphrase would cause a segmentation
violation
+ fix some regressions in key searching in the underlying find keys routines
+ add C++ declaration protection to the external interface in netpgp.h
+ split out the key management parts of netpgp(1) into netpgpkeys(1)
CHANGES 1.99.8 -> 1.99.9
+ make more use of __ops_io_t structure
+ addition of standalone, stripped-down netpgpverify utility
+ addition of test for --list-packets on an empty file
+ bring forward some simplifications from netpgpverify
+ some name changes
+ get rid of the increment and then decrement keycount around
accumulated data ("it's to do with counting")
+ then use unsigned integers for the size and counts for the
dynamic array of keys, and use the common dynamic array macros
for keys in a keyring
+ if it's a union, let's use it as a union, not a struct
+ modified documentation to correct the --list-packets command (sorry, ver)
+ add a new directory structure for both the distribution and the
reachover Makefiles. The autotest framework has been partially overhauled
but more TLC is needed here.
+ add a --pass-fd=n option so that external programs can provide the
passphrase on a file descriptor without going through the callback,
requested by joerg
Packages Collection.
The netpgp command can digitally sign files and verify that the
signatures attached to files were signed by a given user identifier.
netpgp can also encrypt files using the public or private keys of
users and, in the same manner, decrypt files which were encrypted.
The netpgp utility can also be used to generate a new key-pair for a
user. This key is in two parts, the public key (which can be used by
other people) and a private key.
In addition to these primary uses, the third way of using netpgp is to
maintain keyrings. Keyrings are collections of public keys belonging
to other users. By using other means of identification, it is
possible to establish the bona fides of other users. Once trust has
been established, the public key of the other user will be signed.
The other user's public key can be added to our keyring. The other
user will add our public key to their keyring.
This software is built on top of openpgpsdk 0.9.1, but provides a
higher-level interface, is autoconf-ed and libtool-ed, and has had
some significant bugs fixed.
