Noteworthy changes in version 1.5.1 (2014-07-30) [C24/A13/R0]
-------------------------------------------------------------
* Fixed possible overflow in gpgsm and uiserver engines.
[CVE-2014-3564]
* Added support for GnuPG 2.1's --with-secret option.
* Interface changes relative to the 1.5.0 release:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
GPGME_KEYLIST_MODE_WITH_SECRET NEW.
Noteworthy changes in version 1.5.0 (2014-05-21) [C23/A12/R0]
-------------------------------------------------------------
* On Unices the engine file names are not not anymore hardwired but
located via the envvar PATH. All options to set the name of the
engines for the configure run are removed.
* If GPGME finds the gpgconf binary it defaults to using gpg2 or
whatever gpgconf tells as name for the OpenPGP engine. If gpgconf
is not found, GPGME looks for an engine named "gpg".
* New feature to use the gpgme I/O subsystem to run arbitrary
commands.
* New flag to use encryption without the default compression step.
* New function to access "gpg-conf --list-dirs"
* New configure option --enable-fixed-path for use by Android.
* Support ECC algorithms.
* Interface changes relative to the 1.4.3 release:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
gpgme_get_dirinfo NEW.
gpgme_op_spawn_start NEW.
gpgme_op_spawn NEW.
GPGME_PROTOCOL_SPAWN NEW.
GPGME_SPAWN_DETACHED NEW.
GPGME_SPAWN_ALLOW_SET_FG NEW.
GPGME_ENCRYPT_NO_COMPRESS NEW.
GPGME_PK_ECC NEW.
GPGME_MD_SHA224 NEW.
gpgme_subkey_t EXTENDED: New field curve.
GPGME_STATUS_PLAINTEXT_LENGTH NEW.
GPGME_STATUS_MOUNTPOINT NEW.
GPGME_STATUS_PINENTRY_LAUNCHED NEW.
GPGME_STATUS_ATTRIBUTE NEW.
GPGME_STATUS_BEGIN_SIGNING NEW.
GPGME_STATUS_KEY_NOT_CREATED NEW.
* GPGME does not come with an internal libassuan version anymore.
The external libassuan 1.1.0 release or later is required. For
application programmers on systems that can resolve inter-library
dependencies at runtime, this is a transparent change.
* New engine GPGME_PROTOCOL_G13 to support the new g13 tool.
* New engine GPGME_PROTOCOL_UISERVER to support UI Servers.
* New API to change the passpgrase of a key.
this fixes the same problem which was fixed by gpg-1.4.7: depending
on use, additional text could get through undetected
this gpgme uses gpg in a save way -- since we have gpg-1.4.7 in pkgsrc
this is kindo belt-and-suspender, but anyway...

Noteworthy changes in version 1.1.0 (2005-10-01)
------------------------------------------------
* You can now configure the backend engine file name and home
directory to be used, as default and per context.
* Information about the recipients of an encrypted text is now
available at decryption time.
* New status GPGME_STATUS_PLAINTEXT. This is analyzed by the decrypt
and verify handlers, the information about the plaintext filename,
if available is made available in the new field file_name of the
respective result structure.
* The code for "automagically detecting the thread library" has been
removed from libgpgme. It is deprecated since version 0.4.3.
Since then, you had to link against libgpgme-pthread for
applications using pthread and libgpgme-pth for applications using
GNU Pth.
The code was removed because it caused compilation problems on
systems where the pthread.h header from GNU Pth is available in
addition to the system header (FreeBSD 6 and later for example).
* There is a new flag for keys and subkeys, is_qualified, which
indicates if a key can be used for qualified signatures according
to local government regulations.
* You can associate a filename with a data object using the new
function gpgme_data_set_file_name(). This filename will be stored
in the output when encrypting or signing the data and will be
returned when decrypting or verifying the output data.
* You can now set notation data at signature creation with the new
function gpgme_sig_notation_add().
* Interface changes relative to the 1.0.3 release:

2) Revised configure to perform header check for rfuncs.h
3) Revised files referencing getenv_r, strerror_r and ttyname_r
to include <rfuncs.h> if HAVE_RFUNCS_H
* Version 1.0.0! We are proud to present you with a thoroughly
tested and stable version of the GPGME library. A big Thank You!
to all the people who made this possible.
The development will be branched into a stable 1.x.y series and the
head.
* The gpgme.m4 macro supports checking the API version. Just prepend
it to the required version string, separated by a colon. For
example, this release has the version "1:1.0.0". The last release
to which this version is (mostly) ABI compatible is "1:0.4.2",
which is the default required version.
