GnuPG 1.9 is the development version of GnuPG; it is based on some old GnuPG 1.3 code and the previous NewPG package. It will eventually lead to a GnuPG 2.0 release. Note that GnuPG 1.4 and 1.9 are not yet in sync and thus features and bug fixes done in 1.4 are not available in 1.9. *Please keep on using 1.4.x for OpenPGP*; 1.9.x and 1.4.x may be installed simultaneously. You should use GnuPG 1.9 if you want to use the gpg-agent or gpgsm (the S/MIME variant of gpg). The gpg-agent is also helpful when using the stable gpg version 1.4 (as well as the old 1.2 series). This is mainly a bug fix release but comes with some new features as well: * gpg-agent does now support the ssh-agent protocol and thus allows to use the pinentry as well as the OpenPGP smartcard with ssh. * New tool gpg-connect-agent as a general client for the gpg-agent. * New tool symcryptrun as a wrapper for certain encryption tools. * The gpg tool is not anymore build by default because those gpg versions available in the gnupg 1.4 series are far more matured. |
