are replaced with .include "../../devel/readline/buildlink3.mk", and
USE_GNU_READLINE are removed,
* .include "../../devel/readline/buildlink3.mk" without USE_GNU_READLINE
are replaced with .include "../../mk/readline.buildlink3.mk".
Noteworthy changes in version 1.4.3 (2006-04-03)
------------------------------------------------
* If available, cURL-based keyserver helpers are built that can
retrieve keys using HKP or any protocol that cURL supports
(HTTP, HTTPS, FTP, FTPS, etc). If cURL is not available, HKP
and HTTP are still supported using a built-in cURL emulator. To
force building the old pre-cURL keyserver helpers, use the
configure option --enable-old-keyserver-helpers. Note that none
of this affects finger or LDAP support, which are unchanged.
Note also that a future version of GnuPG will remove the old
keyserver helpers altogether.
* Implemented Public Key Association (PKA) signature verification.
This uses special DNS records and notation data to associate a
mail address with an OpenPGP key to prove that mail coming from
that address is legitimate without the need for a full trust
path to the signing key.
* When exporting subkeys, those specified with a key ID or
fingerpint and the '!' suffix are now merged into one keyblock.
* Added "gpg-zip", a program to create encrypted archives that can
interoperate with PGP Zip.
* Added support for signing subkey cross-certification "back
signatures". Requiring cross-certification to be present is
currently off by default, but will be changed to on by default
in the future, once more keys use it. A new "cross-certify"
command in the --edit-key menu can be used to update signing
subkeys to have cross-certification.
* The key cleaning options for --import-options and
--export-options have been further polished. "import-clean" and
"export-clean" replace the older
import-clean-sigs/import-clean-uids and
export-clean-sigs/export-clean-uids option pairs.
* New "minimize" command in the --edit-key menu removes everything
that can be removed from a key, rendering it as small as
possible. There are corresponding "export-minimal" and
"import-minimal" commands for --export-options and
--import-options.
* New --fetch-keys command to retrieve keys by specifying a URI.
This allows direct key retrieval from a web page or other
location that can be specified in a URI. Available protocols
are HTTP and finger, plus anything that cURL supplies, if built
with cURL support.
* Files containing several signed messages are not allowed any
longer as there is no clean way to report the status of such
files back to the caller. To partly revert to the old behaviour
the new option --allow-multisig-verification may be used.
* The keyserver helpers can now handle keys in either ASCII armor
or binary format.
* New auto-key-locate option that takes an ordered list of methods
to locate a key if it is not available at encryption time (-r or
--recipient). Possible methods include "cert" (use DNS CERT as
per RFC2538bis, "pka" (use DNS PKA), "ldap" (consult the LDAP
server for the domain in question), "keyserver" (use the
currently defined keyserver), as well as arbitrary keyserver
URIs that will be contacted for the key.
* Able to retrieve keys using DNS CERT records as per RFC-2538bis
(currently in draft): http://www.josefsson.org/rfc2538bis
pkgsrc change:
make architecture-specific options really architecture-specific.
Noteworthy changes in version 1.4.1 (2005-03-15)
------------------------------------------------
* New --rfc2440-text option which controls how text is handled in
signatures. This is in response to some problems seen with
certain PGP/MIME mail clients and GnuPG version 1.4.0. More
details about this are available at
<http://lists.gnupg.org/pipermail/gnupg-users/2005-January/024408.html>.
* New "import-unusable-sigs" and "export-unusable-sigs" tags for
--import-options and --export-options. These are off by
default, and cause GnuPG to not import or export key signatures
that are not usable (e.g. expired signatures).
* New experimental HTTP, HTTPS, FTP, and FTPS keyserver helper
that uses the cURL library <http://curl.haxx.se> to retrieve
keys. This is disabled by default, but may be enabled with the
configure option --with-libcurl. Without this option, the
existing HTTP code is used for HTTP, and HTTPS, FTP, and FTPS
are not supported.
[enabled with the "curl" option for the package]
* When running a --card-status or --card-edit and a public key is
available, missing secret key stubs will be created on the fly.
Details of the key are listed too.
* The implicit packet dumping in double verbose mode is now sent
to stderr and not to stdout.
* Added countermeasures against the Mister/Zuccherato CFB attack
<http://eprint.iacr.org/2005/033>.
* Add new --edit-key command "bkuptocard" to allow restoring a
card key from a backup.
* The "fetch" command of --card-edit now retrieves the key using
the default keyserver if no URL has been stored on the card.
* New configure option --enable-noexecstack.
Also, gpgkeys_mailto is not installed any longer, dropping the
dependency on perl.
