• Selftest updates to allow running tests in parallel via make -j (Debian bug 881792). Reported by Daniel Kahn Gillmor.

Paperkey 1.5

Noteworthy changes in version 1.5 (2017-10-25)

• Added support for OpenPGP EdDSA elliptic curve keys as specified in draft-koch-eddsa-for-openpgp-04.

• Properly handle a secret key where the primary key is of a known type but a subkey is not of a known type.

• Gnulib refresh.

Paperkey 1.4

Noteworthy changes in version 1.4 (2016-09-05)

• Fix binary vs text output mismatch when using "--output-type raw" on Windows platforms. Does not affect any non-Windows platforms. Found by Thierry Ambrus.

• Gnulib refresh.

Paperkey 1.3

Noteworthy changes in version 1.3 (2013-01-03)

• Added support for OpenPGP elliptic curve keys (ECDH and ECDSA) as specified in RFC 6637.

• Use minimal OpenPGP packet encoding. This does not affect functionality, but makes it more likely that a given key will match byte-for-byte the same key after running through paperkey.

• Minor bug fixes.

• Gnulib refresh.

Paperkey 1.2

Noteworthy changes in version 1.2 (2009-10-14)

• Minor documentation changes.

• Gnulib refresh.

Paperkey 1.1

• Minor bug fix for Windows platforms.

• Make the instructions on how to restore a key without paperkey a bit clearer.

Paperkey 1.0

Noteworthy changes in version 1.0 (2009-01-22)

• Minor documentation and build changes.

• Gnulib refresh.

Paperkey 0.8

Noteworthy changes in version 0.8 (2008-02-01)

• The file format is now included as part of the base16 output, as there is no guarantee that this program will be on-hand when a reconstruction is necessary. The format can also be displayed via the --file-format command. Suggested by Brendan Kidwell.

• Some bug fixes (actually to gnulib, but relevant here as well) to the SHA-1 code on platforms that require aligned access. Thanks to Peter Palfrader.

• New --comment option to add comments to the base16 output.

Paperkey 0.7

Noteworthy changes in version 0.7 (2007-10-03)

• Man page contributed by Peter Palfrader.

• Secret data can now be passed in on standard input if desired.

Paperkey 0.6

Noteworthy changes in version 0.6 (2007-09-22)

• Bug fix for certain key sizes thanks to Peter Palfrader.

• Add versioning to the output format.

• Add an overall CRC to the secrets output to catch certain types of corruption.

• Properly use a single public key out of a whole public keyring when restoring.
