Hello!

GnuPG version 1.0.3 has been released and is available at the
mirrors (see below) right now.  If you can't get it from a mirror,
use the primary location:

 ftp://ftp.guug.de/pub/gcrypt/gnupg/gnupg-1.0.3.tar.gz  (1650k)
 ftp://ftp.guug.de/pub/gcrypt/gnupg/gnupg-1.0.3.tar.gz.sig

A diff against 1.0.2 is also available: 

 ftp://ftp.guug.de/pub/gcrypt/gnupg/gnupg-1.0.2-1.0.3.diff.gz  (315k)

A MS-Windows version has also been released; actually the source is
the same and you find instructions on how to build it in the file
doc/README.W32 - you need some additional tools to do so, therefore
we have released a binary version:

  ftp://ftp.gnupg.de/pub/gcrypt/binary/gnupg-w32-1.0.2.zip     (583k)
  ftp://ftp.gnupg.de/pub/gcrypt/binary/gnupg-w32-1.0.2.zip.sig 

MD5 checksums of the above files are:

  ef42c679df7a555e23ebe3c8d14a9124  gnupg-1.0.3.tar.gz
  148f0d814abf11a53ce122b371080d87  gnupg-1.0.2-1.0.3.diff.gz
  87607bd46fefa5cfbbf6a3fdcf656d25  gnupg-w32-1.0.3.zip

So what's new in this version:

    * Fixed problems with piping to/from other MS-Windows software

    * Expiration time of the primary key can be changed again.

    * Revoked user IDs are now marked in the output of --list-key

    * New options --show-session-key and --override-session-key
      to help the British folks to somewhat minimize the danger
      of this Orwellian RIP bill.

    * New options --merge-only and --try-all-secrets.

    * New configuration option --with-egd-socket.

    * The --trusted-key option is back after it left us with 0.9.5
     
    * RSA is supported. Key generation does not yet work but will come
      soon. 
    
    * CAST5 and SHA-1 are now the default algorithms to protect the key
      and for symmetric-only encryption. This should solve a couple
      of compatibility problems because the old algorithms are optional
      according to RFC2440

    * Twofish and MDC enhanced encryption is now used.  PGP 7 supports 
      this.  Older versions of GnuPG don't support it, so they should be
      upgraded to at least 1.0.2
      
Some bugs are also fixed.

However, after releasing we have figured out that there are some
configuration problems on HP/UX, AIX and probably on other OSes too.  A
patch will be announced on the GnuPG announce list ASAP. If you are not
subscribed to this list, you may want to check http://lists.gnupg.org in a
few days.  Using "./configure --disable-dynload" should work around the
problem.  GNU/Linux and Solaris should just work fine.

Debian and RPM packages will be available really soon.

Have fun,

  Werner
