Subject: [Announce] GnuPG 2.2.2 released
Message-ID: <87375qmkok.fsf@wheatstone.g10code.de>
Hello!
We are is pleased to announce the availability of a new GnuPG release:
version 2.2.2. This is a maintenance release; see below for a list of
fixed bugs.
About GnuPG
===========
The GNU Privacy Guard (GnuPG) is a complete and free implementation
of the OpenPGP standard which is commonly abbreviated as PGP.
GnuPG allows to encrypt and sign data and communication, features a
versatile key management system as well as access modules for public key
directories. GnuPG itself is a command line tool with features for easy
integration with other applications. A wealth of frontend applications
and libraries making use of GnuPG are available. As an Universal Crypto
Engine GnuPG provides support for S/MIME and Secure Shell in addition to
OpenPGP.
GnuPG is Free Software (meaning that it respects your freedom). It can
be freely used, modified and distributed under the terms of the GNU
General Public License.

Getting the Software
====================
Please follow the instructions found at or
read on:
GnuPG 2.2.2 may be downloaded from one of the GnuPG mirror sites or
direct from its primary FTP server. The list of mirrors can be found at
. Note that GnuPG is not
available at ftp.gnu.org.
The GnuPG source code compressed using BZIP2 and its OpenPGP signature
are available here:
https://gnupg.org/ftp/gcrypt/gnupg/gnupg-2.2.2.tar.bz2 (6394k)
https://gnupg.org/ftp/gcrypt/gnupg/gnupg-2.2.2.tar.bz2.sig
An installer for Windows without any graphical frontend except for a
very minimal Pinentry tool is available here:
https://gnupg.org/ftp/gcrypt/binary/gnupg-w32-2.2.2_20171107.exe (3807k)
https://gnupg.org/ftp/gcrypt/binary/gnupg-w32-2.2.2_20171107.exe.sig
The source used to build the Windows installer can be found in the same
directory with a ".tar.xz" suffix. A new Gpg4win 3.0 installer
featuring this version of GnuPG will be available soon. In the meantime
you may install this version on top of an installed Gpg4win 3.0 version.
Checking the Integrity
======================
In order to check that the version of GnuPG which you are going to
install is an original and unmodified one, you can do it in one of
the following ways:
* If you already have a version of GnuPG installed, you can simply
verify the supplied signature. For example to verify the signature
of the file gnupg-2.2.2.tar.bz2 you would use this command:
gpg --verify gnupg-2.2.2.tar.bz2.sig gnupg-2.2.2.tar.bz2
This checks whether the signature file matches the source file.
You should see a message indicating that the signature is good and
made by one or more of the release signing keys. Make sure that
this is a valid key, either by matching the shown fingerprint
against a trustworthy list of valid release signing keys or by
checking that the key has been signed by trustworthy other keys.
See the end of this mail for information on the signing keys.
* If you are not able to use an existing version of GnuPG, you have
to verify the SHA-1 checksum. On Unix systems the command to do
this is either "sha1sum" or "shasum". Assuming you downloaded the
file gnupg-2.2.2.tar.bz2, you run the command like this:
sha1sum gnupg-2.2.2.tar.bz2
and check that the output matches the next line:
efa00fc20295b1cafe467359107ea170258870e2 gnupg-2.2.2.tar.bz2
19224023f5a7750743d042b0bfbd5e44fbc9aeb2 gnupg-w32-2.2.2_20171107.exe
0bb69eb774f8c39b8092b5615a19e656bb681084 gnupg-w32-2.2.2_20171107.tar.xz
Internationalization
====================
This version of GnuPG has support for 26 languages with Chinese, Czech,
French, German, Japanese, Norwegian, Russian, and Ukrainian being almost
completely translated.
Documentation and Support
=========================
If you used GnuPG in the past you should read the description of
changes and new features at doc/whats-new-in-2.1.txt or online at
https://gnupg.org/faq/whats-new-in-2.1.html
The file gnupg.info has the complete reference manual of the system.
Separate man pages are included as well but they miss some of the
details availabale only in thee manual. The manual is also available
online at
https://gnupg.org/documentation/manuals/gnupg/
or can be downloaded as PDF at
https://gnupg.org/documentation/manuals/gnupg.pdf .
The chapters on gpg-agent, gpg and gpgsm include information on how to
set up the whole thing. You may also want to search the GnuPG mailing
list archives or ask on the gnupg-users mailing list for advise on how
to solve problems. Most of the new features are around for several
years and thus enough public experience is available.
Please consult the archive of the gnupg-users mailing list before
reporting a bug: .
We suggest to send bug reports for a new release to this list in favor
of filing a bug at . If you need commercial
support check out .
If you are a developer and you need a certain feature for your project,
please do not hesitate to bring it to the gnupg-devel mailing list for
discussion.
Thanks

Maintenance and development of GnuPG is mostly financed by donations.
The GnuPG project currently employs one full-time developer and one
contractor. Both work exclusivly on GnuPG and closely related software
like Libgcrypt, GPGME, and GPA. We are planning to extend our team
again. Right now we are looking for an admin for our bug tracker; see
We have to thank all the people who helped the GnuPG project, be it
testing, coding, translating, suggesting, auditing, administering the
servers, spreading the word, answering questions on the mailing lists,
and with financial support.
Happy hacking,
Gniibe and Werner

Subject: [Announce] GPGME 1.10.0 released
Message-ID: <87k1xsauod.fsf@wheatstone.g10code.de>
Hello!
We are pleased to announce version 1.10.0 of GPGME.
GnuPG Made Easy (GPGME) is a C language library that allows to add
support for cryptography to a program. It is designed to make access to
public key crypto engines like gpg and gpgsm easier for applications.
GPGME provides a high-level crypto API for encryption, decryption,
signing, signature verification, and key management. GPGME comes with
language bindings for Common Lisp, C++, QT, Python 2 and 3.
See https://gnupg.org/software/gpgme for more.
Noteworthy changes in version 1.10.0
====================================
* Now returns more specific error codes for decryption to distinguish
between bad passphrase, user canceled, and no secret key.
* Now returns key origin information if available.
* Added context flag "auto-key-retrieve" to selectively enable the
corresponding gpg option.
* Added flag is_de_vs to decryption and verify results.
* py: Use SEEK_SET as default for data.seek.
* cpp: Various new APIs.
* Reduced spawn overhead on Linux again. Added new configure option
--disable-linux-getdents to disable this feature for very old
Linux versions.
* Improved the Python bindings build system.
* Made the test suite less fragile.
Download
========
You may download this library and its OpenPGP signature from:
https://gnupg.org/ftp/gcrypt/gpgme/gpgme-1.10.0.tar.bz2 (1338k)
https://gnupg.org/ftp/gcrypt/gpgme/gpgme-1.10.0.tar.bz2.sig
or from ftp.gnupg.org. The SHA-1 checksum is
77d3390887da25ed70b7ac04392360efbdca501f gpgme-1.10.0.tar.bz2
but you better check the integrity using the provided signature. See
for details.

Subject: [Announce] GnuPG 2.2.4 released
Message-ID: <87fu85xvgd.fsf@wheatstone.g10code.de>
Hello!
20 years after the first version we are pleased to announce the
availability of a new GnuPG release: version 2.2.4. This is a
maintenance release; see below for a list of fixed bugs.
About GnuPG
===========
The GNU Privacy Guard (GnuPG) is a complete and free implementation
of the OpenPGP standard which is commonly abbreviated as PGP.
GnuPG allows to encrypt and sign data and communication, features a
versatile key management system as well as access modules for public key
directories. GnuPG itself is a command line tool with features for easy
integration with other applications. A wealth of frontend applications
and libraries making use of GnuPG are available. As an Universal Crypto
Engine GnuPG provides support for S/MIME and Secure Shell in addition to
OpenPGP.
GnuPG is Free Software (meaning that it respects your freedom). It can
be freely used, modified and distributed under the terms of the GNU
General Public License.
Noteworthy changes in version 2.2.4
===================================
* gpg: Change default preferences to prefer SHA512.
* gpg: Print a warning when more than 150 MiB are encrypted using a
cipher with 64 bit block size.
* gpg: Print a warning if the MDC feature has not been used for a
message.
* gpg: Fix regular expression of domain addresses in trust
signatures. [#2923]
* agent: New option --auto-expand-secmem to help with high numbers
of concurrent connections. Requires libgcrypt 1.8.2 for having
an effect. [#3530]
* dirmngr: Cache responses of WKD queries.
* gpgconf: Add option --status-fd.
* wks: Add commands --check and --remove-key to gpg-wks-server.
* Increase the backlog parameter of the daemons to 64 and add
option --listen-backlog.
* New configure option --enable-run-gnupg-user-socket to first try a
socket directory which is not removed by systemd at session end.
Getting the Software
====================
Please follow the instructions found at or
read on:
GnuPG 2.2.4 may be downloaded from one of the GnuPG mirror sites or
direct from its primary FTP server. The list of mirrors can be found at
. Note that GnuPG is not
available at ftp.gnu.org.
The GnuPG source code compressed using BZIP2 and its OpenPGP signature
are available here:
https://gnupg.org/ftp/gcrypt/gnupg/gnupg-2.2.4.tar.bz2 (6417k)
https://gnupg.org/ftp/gcrypt/gnupg/gnupg-2.2.4.tar.bz2.sig
An installer for Windows without any graphical frontend except for a
very minimal Pinentry tool is available here:
https://gnupg.org/ftp/gcrypt/binary/gnupg-w32-2.2.4_20171220.exe (3817k)
https://gnupg.org/ftp/gcrypt/binary/gnupg-w32-2.2.5_20171220.exe.sig
The source used to build the Windows installer can be found in the same
directory with a ".tar.xz" suffix. A new Gpg4win 3.0 installer
featuring this version of GnuPG will be available soon.
Checking the Integrity
======================
In order to check that the version of GnuPG which you are going to
install is an original and unmodified one, you can do it in one of
the following ways:
* If you already have a version of GnuPG installed, you can simply
verify the supplied signature. For example to verify the signature
of the file gnupg-2.2.4.tar.bz2 you would use this command:
gpg --verify gnupg-2.2.4.tar.bz2.sig gnupg-2.2.4.tar.bz2
This checks whether the signature file matches the source file.
You should see a message indicating that the signature is good and
made by one or more of the release signing keys. Make sure that
this is a valid key, either by matching the shown fingerprint
against a trustworthy list of valid release signing keys or by
checking that the key has been signed by trustworthy other keys.
See the end of this mail for information on the signing keys.
* If you are not able to use an existing version of GnuPG, you have
to verify the SHA-1 checksum. On Unix systems the command to do
this is either "sha1sum" or "shasum". Assuming you downloaded the
file gnupg-2.2.4.tar.bz2, you run the command like this:
sha1sum gnupg-2.2.4.tar.bz2
and check that the output matches the next line:
732266e8888c6f41c084d043c7a0058332ff3580 gnupg-2.2.4.tar.bz2
d06a1413fd901c51eba14164ddb28d99ab9f84df gnupg-w32-2.2.4_20171220.exe

This version of GnuPG has support for 26 languages with Chinese, Czech,
French, German, Japanese, Norwegian, Russian, and Ukrainian being almost
completely translated.
Documentation and Support
=========================
If you used GnuPG in the past you should read the description of
changes and new features at doc/whats-new-in-2.1.txt or online at
https://gnupg.org/faq/whats-new-in-2.1.html
The file gnupg.info has the complete reference manual of the system.
Separate man pages are included as well but they miss some of the
details availabale only in thee manual. The manual is also available
online at
https://gnupg.org/documentation/manuals/gnupg/
or can be downloaded as PDF at
https://gnupg.org/documentation/manuals/gnupg.pdf .
The chapters on gpg-agent, gpg and gpgsm include information on how to
set up the whole thing. You may also want to search the GnuPG mailing
list archives or ask on the gnupg-users mailing list for advise on how
to solve problems. Most of the new features are around for several
years and thus enough public experience is available.
Please consult the archive of the gnupg-users mailing list before
reporting a bug: .
We suggest to send bug reports for a new release to this list in favor
of filing a bug at . If you need commercial
support check out .
If you are a developer and you need a certain feature for your project,
please do not hesitate to bring it to the gnupg-devel mailing list for

Thanks
======
Maintenance and development of GnuPG is mostly financed by donations.
The GnuPG project currently employs one full-time developer and one
contractor. Both work exclusively on GnuPG and closely related software
like Libgcrypt, GPGME, and GPA. We are planning to extend our team
again and to help developers to improve integration of crypto in their
applications.
We have to thank all the people who helped the GnuPG project, be it
testing, coding, translating, suggesting, auditing, administering the
servers, spreading the word, and answering questions on the mailing
lists.
Many thanks to our numerous financial supporters, both corporate and
individuals. Without you it would not be possible to keep GnuPG in a
good shape and address all the small and larger requests made by our
users. Thanks.
Happy hacking,
Your GnuPG hackers
