Noteworthy changes in version 1.4.14 (2013-07-25)
-------------------------------------------------
* Mitigate the Yarom/Falkner flush+reload side-channel attack on
RSA secret keys. See <http://eprint.iacr.org/2013/448>.
* Fixed IDEA for big-endian CPUs
* Improved the diagnostics for failed keyserver lockups.
* Minor bug and portability fixes.
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".
Fixes CVE-2012-6085
Upstream Changes:
* Add support for the old cipher algorithm IDEA.
* Minor bug fixes.
* Small changes to better cope with future OpenPGP and GnuPG
features.
Noteworthy changes in version 1.4.12 (2012-01-30)
-------------------------------------------------
* GPG now accepts a space separated fingerprint as a user ID.
This allows to copy and paste the fingerprint from the key
listing.
* Removed support for the original HKP keyserver which is not
anymore used by any site.
* Rebuild the trustdb after changing the option --min-cert-level.
* Improved JPEG detection.
* Included more VMS patches
* Made it easier to create an installer for Windows.
* Supports the 32 bit variant of the mingw-w64 toolchain.
* Made file locking more portable.
* Minor bug fixes.
Noteworthy changes in version 1.4.11 (2010-10-18)
-------------------------------------------------
* Bug fixes and portability changes.
* Minor changes for better interoperability with GnuPG-2.
Noteworthy changes in version 1.4.10 (2009-09-02)
-------------------------------------------------
* 2048 bit RSA keys are now generated by default. The default
hash algorithm preferences has changed to prefer SHA-256 over
SHA-1. 2048 bit DSA keys are now generated to use a 256 bit
hash algorithm
* Support v2 OpenPGP cards.
* The algorithm to compute the SIG_ID status has been changed to
match the one from 2.0.10.
* Improved file locking. Implemented it for W32.
* Fixed a memory leak which made imports of many keys very slow.
* Many smaller bug fixes.
* Support for the Camellia cipher (RFC-5581).
* Support for HKP keyservers over SSL ("HKPS").
Addresses a recent security issue that only impacts 1.4.8 and 2.0.8
* Improved AES encryption performance by more than 20% (on ia32).
Decryption is also a bit faster.
* Fixed possible memory corruption bug in 1.4.8 while importing
OpenPGP keys.
Noteworthy changes in version 1.4.8 (2007-12-20)
------------------------------------------------
*******************************************
* A decade of GnuPG: g10-0.0.0.tar.gz was *
* released exactly 10 years ago. *
*******************************************
* Changed the license to GPLv3.
* Improved detection of keyrings specified multiple times.
* Changes to better cope with broken keyservers.
* Minor bug fixes.
* The new OpenPGP standard is now complete, and has been published
as RFC-4880. The GnuPG --openpgp mode (note this is not the
default) has been updated to match the new standard. The
--rfc2440 option can be used to return to the older RFC-2440
behavior. The main differences between the two are
"--enable-dsa2 --no-rfc2440-text --escape-from-lines
--require-cross-certification".
* By default (i.e. --gnupg mode), --require-cross-certification is
now on. --rfc2440-text and --force-v3-sigs are now off.
* Allow encryption using legacy Elgamal sign+encrypt keys if
option --rfc2440 is used.
* Fixed the auto creation of the key stub for smartcards.
* Fixed a rare bug in decryption using the OpenPGP card.
* Fix RFC-4880 typo in the SHA-224 hash prefix. Old SHA-224
signatures will continue to work.
This fixes a security problem which is rather an application issue:
The user wasn't notified about additional text (not covered by the
signature) unless the --status-fd flag is used.
Noteworthy changes in version 1.4.6 (2006-12-06)
------------------------------------------------
* Fixed a serious and exploitable bug in processing encrypted
packages. [CVE-2006-6235].
* Fixed a buffer overflow in gpg. [bug#728, CVE-2006-6169]
(already fixed in pkgsrc)
* Fixed a bug while decrypting certain compressed and encrypted
messages. [bug#537]
* Added --s2k-count to set the number of times passphrase mangling
is repeated. The default is 65536 times.
* Added --passphrase-repeat to set the number of times GPG will
prompt for a new passphrase to be repeated. This is useful to
help memorize a new passphrase. The default is 1 repetition.
* Added a GPL license exception to the keyserver helper programs
gpgkeys_ldap, gpgkeys_curl, and gpgkeys_hkp, to clarify any
potential questions about the ability to distribute binaries
that link to the OpenSSL library. GnuPG does not link directly
to OpenSSL, but libcurl (used for HKP, HTTP, and FTP) and
OpenLDAP (used for LDAP) may. Note that this license exception
is considered a bug fix and is intended to forgive any
violations pertaining to this issue, including those that may
have occurred in the past.
* Man pages are now build from the same source as those of GnuPG-2.
While fixing a bug reported by Hugh Warrington, a buffer overflow has
been identified in all released GnuPG versions. The current versions
1.4.5 and 2.0.0 are affected. A small patch is provided.

(fixes CVE-2006-3746)
changes:
* More DSA2 tweaks.
* Fixed a problem uploading certain keys to the smart card.
* Fixed 2 more possible memory allocation attacks.
