Noteworthy changes in version 2.1.20 (unreleased)
-------------------------------------------------
Noteworthy changes in version 2.1.19 (2017-03-01)
-------------------------------------------------
* gpg: Print a warning if Tor mode is requested but the Tor daemon
is not running.
* gpg: New status code DECRYPTION_KEY to print the actual private
key used for decryption.
* gpgv: New options --log-file and --debug.
* gpg-agent: Revamp the prompts to ask for card PINs.
* scd: Support for multiple card readers.
* scd: Removed option --debug-disable-ticker. Ticker is used
only when it is required to watch removal of device/card.
* scd: Improved detection of card inserting and removal.
* dirmngr: New option --disable-ipv4.
* dirmngr: New option --no-use-tor to explicitly disable the use of
Tor.
* dirmngr: The option --allow-version-check is now required even if
the option --use-tor is also used.
* dirmngr: Handle a missing nsswitch.conf gracefully.
* dirmngr: Avoid PTR lookups for keyserver pools. The are only done
for the debug command "keyserver --hosttable".
* dirmngr: Rework the internal certificate cache to support classes
of certificates. Load system provided certificates on startup.
Add options --tls, --no-crl, and --systrust to the "VALIDATE"
command.
* dirmngr: Add support for the ntbtls library.
* wks: Create mails with a "WKS-Phase" header. Fix detection of
Draft-2 mode.
* The Windows installer is now build with limited TLS support.
* Many other bug fixes and new regression tests.
Noteworthy changes in version 2.1.18 (2017-01-23)
-------------------------------------------------
* gpg: Remove bogus subkey signature while cleaning a key (with
export-clean, import-clean, or --edit-key's sub-command clean)
* gpg: Allow freezing the clock with --faked-system-time.
* gpg: New --export-option flag "backup", new --import-option flag
"restore".
* gpg-agent: Fixed long delay due to a regression in the progress
callback code.
* scd: Lots of code cleanup and internal changes.
* scd: Improved the internal CCID driver.
* dirmngr: Fixed problem with the DNS glue code (removal of the
trailing dot in domain names).
* dirmngr: Make sure that Tor is actually enabled after changing the
conf file and sending SIGHUP or "gpgconf --reload dirmngr".
* dirmngr: Fixed Tor access to IPv6 addresses. Note that current
versions of Tor may require that the flag "IPv6Traffic" is used
with the option "SocksPort" in torrc to actually allow IPv6
traffic.
* dirmngr: Fixed HKP for literally given IPv6 addresses.
* dirmngr: Enabled reverse DNS lookups via Tor.
* dirmngr: Added experimental SRV record lookup for WKD.
See commit 88dc3af3d4ae1afe1d5e136bc4c38bc4e7d4cd10 for details.
* dirmngr: For HKP use "pgpkey-hkps" and "pgpkey-hkp" in SRV record
lookups. Avoid SRV record lookup when a port is explicitly
specified. This fixes a regression from the 1.4 and 2.0 behavior.
* dirmngr: Gracefully handle a missing /etc/nsswitch.conf. Ignore
negation terms (e.g. "[!UNAVAIL=return]" instead of bailing out.
* dirmngr: Better debug output for flags "dns" and "network".
* dirmngr: On reload mark all known HKP servers alive.
* gpgconf: Allow keyword "all" for --launch, --kill, and --reload.
* tools: gpg-wks-client now ignores a missing policy file on the
server.
* Avoid unnecessary ambiguity error message in the option parsing.
* Further improvements of the regression test suite.
* Fixed building with --disable-libdns configure option.
* Fixed a crash running the tests on 32 bit architectures.
* Fixed spurious failures on BSD system in the spawn functions.
This affected for example gpg-wks-client and gpgconf.

Noteworthy changes in version 2.1.17 (2016-12-20)
-------------------------------------------------
* gpg: By default new keys expire after 2 years.
* gpg: New command --quick-set-expire to conveniently change the
expiration date of keys.
* gpg: Option and command names have been changed for easier
comprehension. The old names are still available as aliases.
* gpg: Improved the TOFU trust model.
* gpg: New option --default-new-key-algo.
* scd: Support OpenPGP card V3 for RSA.
* dirmngr: Support for the ADNS library has been removed. Instead
William Ahern's Libdns is now source included and used on all
platforms. This enables Tor support on all platforms. The new
option --standard-resolver can be used to disable this code at
runtime. In case of build problems the new configure option
--disable-libdns can be used to build without Libdns.
* dirmngr: Lazily launch ldap reaper thread.
* tools: New options --check and --status-fd for gpg-wks-client.
* The UTF-8 byte order mark is now skipped when reading conf files.
* Fixed many bugs and regressions.
* Major improvements to the test suite. For example it is possible
to run the external test suite of GPGME.

using a mail address with -r, -R, or --locate-key.

colon formatted key listings.
* gpg: New option --compliance as an alternative way to specify
options like --rfc2440, --rfc4880, et al.
* gpg: Many changes to the TOFU implementation.
* gpg: Improve usability of --quick-gen-key.
* gpg: In --verbose mode print a diagnostic when a pinentry is
launched.
* gpg: Remove code which warns for old versions of gnome-keyring.
* gpg: New option --override-session-key-fd.
* gpg: Option --output does now work with --verify.
* gpgv: New option --output to allow saving the verified data.
* gpgv: New option --enable-special-filenames.
* agent, dirmngr: New --supervised mode for use by systemd and alike.
* agent: By default listen on all available sockets using standard
names.
* agent: Invoke scdaemon with --homedir.
* dirmngr: On Linux now detects the removal of its own socket and
terminates.
* scd: Support ECC key generation.
* scd: Support more card readers.
* dirmngr: New option --allow-version-check to download a software
version database in the background.
* dirmngr: Use system provided CAs if no --hkp-cacert is given.
* dirmngr: Use a default keyserver if none is explicitly set
* gpgconf: New command --query-swdb to check software versions
against an copy of an online database.
* gpgconf: Print the socket directory with --list-dirs.
* tools: The WKS tools now support draft version -02.
* tools: Always build gpg-wks-client and install under libexec.
* tools: New option --supported for gpg-wks-client.
* The log-file option now accepts a value "socket://" to log to the
socket named "S.log" in the standard socket directory.
* Provide fake pinentries for use by tests cases of downstream
developers.
* Fixed many bugs and regressions.
* Many changes and improvements for the test suite.

TOFU database.
* gpg: Add option --sender to prepare for coming features.
* gpg: Add option --input-size-hint to help progress indicators.

Noteworthy changes in version 2.1.0 (2014-11-06)
------------------------------------------------
This release introduces a lot of changes. Most of them are internal
and thus not user visible. However, some long standing behavior has
slightly changed and it is strongly suggested that an existing
"~/.gnupg" directory is backed up before this version is used.
A verbose description of the major new features and changes can be
found in the file doc/whats-new-in-2.1.txt.
* gpg: All support for v3 (PGP 2) keys has been dropped. All
signatures are now created as v4 signatures. v3 keys will be
removed from the keyring.
* gpg: With pinentry-0.9.0 the passphrase "enter again" prompt shows
up in the same window as the "new passphrase" prompt.
* gpg: Allow importing keys with duplicated long key ids.
* dirmngr: May now be build without support for LDAP.
* For a complete list of changes see the lists of changes for the
2.1.0 beta versions below. Note that all relevant fixes from
versions 2.0.14 to 2.0.26 are also applied to this version.
[Noteworthy changes in version 2.1.0-beta864 (2014-10-03)]
