From wk at gnupg.org Thu Aug 27 15:19:56 2020 From: wk at gnupg.org (Werner Koch) Date: Thu, 27 Aug 2020 15:19:56 +0200 Subject: [Announce] GnuPG 2.2.22 released Message-ID: <87r1rs6xab.fsf@wheatstone.g10code.de> Hello! We are pleased to announce the availability of a new GnuPG release: version 2.2.22. This is maintenace release with some minor changes. See below for details. What is GnuPG ============= The GNU Privacy Guard (GnuPG, GPG) is a complete and free implementation of the OpenPGP and S/MIME standards. 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. The separate library GPGME provides a uniform API to use the GnuPG engine by software written in common programming languages. 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 2.2.22 ==================================== * gpg: Change the default key algorithm to rsa3072. * gpg: Add regular expression support for Trust Signatures on all platforms. [#4843] * gpg: Fix regression in 2.2.21 with non-default --passphrase-repeat option. [#4991] * gpg: Ignore --personal-digest-prefs for ECDSA keys. [#5021] * gpgsm: Make rsaPSS a de-vs compliant scheme. * gpgsm: Show also the SHA256 fingerprint in key listings. * gpgsm: Do not require a default keyring for --gpgconf-list. [#4867] * gpg-agent: Default to extended key format and record the creation time of keys. Add new option --disable-extended-key-format. * gpg-agent: Support the WAYLAND_DISPLAY envvar. [#5016] * gpg-agent: Allow using --gpgconf-list even if HOME does not exist. [#4866] * gpg-agent: Make the Pinentry work even if the envvar TERM is set to the empty string. [#4137] * scdaemon: Add a workaround for Gnuk tokens <= 2.15 which wrongly incremented the error counter when using the "verify" command of "gpg --edit-key" with only the signature key being present. * dirmngr: Better handle systems with disabled IPv6. [#4977] * gpgpslit: Install tool. It was not installed in the past to avoid conflicts with the version installed by GnuPG 1.4. [#5023] * gpgtar: Handle Unicode file names on Windows correctly (requires libgpg-error 1.39). [#4083] * gpgtar: Make --files-from and --null work as documented. [#5027] * Build the Windows installer with the new Ntbtls 0.2.0 so that TLS connections succeed for servers demanding GCM. Release-info: https://dev.gnupg.org/T5030 Getting the Software ==================== Please follow the instructions found at or read on: GnuPG 2.2.22 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-2.2.22.tar.bz2 (6932k) https://gnupg.org/ftp/gcrypt/gnupg/gnupg-2.2.22.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-w32-2.2.22_20200827.exe (4183k) https://gnupg.org/ftp/gcrypt/binary/gnupg-w32-2.2.22_20200827.exe.sig The source used to build the Windows installer can be found in the same directory with a ".tar.xz" suffix. A new version of the GnuPG Desktop for Windows (aka Gpg4win) featuring this version of GnuPG will be released shortly. 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-2.2.22.tar.bz2 you would use this command: gpg --verify gnupg-2.2.22.tar.bz2.sig gnupg-2.2.22.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-2.2.22.tar.bz2, you run the command like this: sha1sum gnupg-2.2.22.tar.bz2 and check that the output matches the next line: 6afc2f6b20d42f243d039a1f19abde6d55b7632e gnupg-2.2.22.tar.bz2 849577288146cda3befc6a024ba8a4a225a8f070 gnupg-w32-2.2.22_20200827.tar.xz 4d080669656b108fb9f2d7be11043ca01d67a6e4 gnupg-w32-2.2.22_20200827.exe Internationalization ==================== This version of GnuPG has support for 26 languages with Chinese (traditional and simplified), Czech, French, German, Japanese, Norwegian, Polish, 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 available 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 . 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. https://wiki.gnupg.org has user contributed information around GnuPG and relate software. In case of build problems specific to this release please first check https://dev.gnupg.org/T5030 for updated information. 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 go to or . 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 ====== Since 2001 maintenance and development of GnuPG is done by g10 Code GmbH and currently mostly financed by donations. Two full-time employed developers as well as two contractor exclusively work on GnuPG and closely related software like Libgcrypt, GPGME and Gpg4win. We like to thank all the nice people who are helping the GnuPG project, be it testing, coding, translating, suggesting, auditing, administering the servers, spreading the word, or 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 and secure shape and to address all the small and larger requests made by our users. Thanks. Happy hacking, Your GnuPG hackers p.s. This is an announcement only mailing list. Please send replies only to the gnupg-users'at'gnupg.org mailing list. p.p.s List of Release Signing Keys: To guarantee that a downloaded GnuPG version has not been tampered by malicious entities we provide signature files for all tarballs and binary versions.

Eventually I found it on keys.gnupg.net, so I uploaded it to several other keyservers in turn using https://paste.xinu.at/iudpo/ due to current issues with keyservers syncing. My previous chain of trust included D8692123C4065DEA5E0F3AB5249B39D24F25E3B6 which this key is in turn signed by, the cross signatures should now be more broadly available on the keyservers. -- Eli Schwartz Arch Linux Bug Wrangler and Trusted User -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
