[Announce] GPGME 1.10.0 released

[Werner Koch]

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
<https://gnupg.org/download/integrity_check.html> for details.


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.  See you at FOSDEM.

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,

  Your GnuPG hackers
