Noteworthy changes in version 2.2.0 (2017-08-28)
------------------------------------------------
This is the new long term stable branch. This branch will only see
bug fixes and no new features.
* gpg: Reverted change in 2.1.23 so that --no-auto-key-retrieve is
again the default.
* Fixed a few minor bugs.
See-also: gnupg-announce/2017q3/000413.html
Noteworthy changes in version 2.1.23 (2017-08-09)
-------------------------------------------------
* gpg: "gpg" is now installed as "gpg" and not anymore as "gpg2".
If needed, the new configure option --enable-gpg-is-gpg2 can be
used to revert this.
* gpg: Options --auto-key-retrieve and --auto-key-locate "local,wkd"
are now used by default. Note: this enables keyserver and Web Key
Directory operators to notice when a signature from a locally
non-available key is being verified for the first time or when
you intend to encrypt to a mail address without having the key
locally. This new behaviour will eventually make key discovery
much easier and mostly automatic. Disable this by adding
no-auto-key-retrieve
auto-key-locate local
to your gpg.conf.
* agent: Option --no-grab is now the default. The new option --grab
allows to revert this.
* gpg: New import option "show-only".
* gpg: New option --disable-dirmngr to entirely disable network
access for gpg.
* gpg,gpgsm: Tweaked DE-VS compliance behaviour.
* New configure flag --enable-all-tests to run more extensive tests
during "make check".
* gpgsm: The keygrip is now always printed in colon mode as
documented in the man page.
* Fixed connection timeout problem under Windows.
See-also: gnupg-announce/2017q3/000412.html
Noteworthy changes in version 2.1.22 (2017-07-28)
-------------------------------------------------

no-repair-keys for --import-options.
* gpg,gpgsm: Improved checking and reporting of DE-VS compliance.
* gpg: New options --key-origin and --with-key-origin. Store the
time of the last key update from keyservers, WKD, or DANE.
* agent: New option --ssh-fingerprint-digest.
* dimngr: Lower timeouts on keyserver connection attempts and made
it configurable.
* dirmngr: Tor will now automatically be detected and used. The
option --no-use-tor disables Tor detection.
* dirmngr: Now detects a changed /etc/resolv.conf.
* agent,dirmngr: Initiate shutdown on removal of the GnuPG home
directory.
* gpg: Avoid caching passphrase for failed symmetric encryption.
* agent: Support for unprotected ssh keys.
* dirmngr: Fixed name resolving on systems using only v6
nameservers.
* dirmngr: Allow the use of TLS over http proxies.
* w32: Change directory of the daemons after startup.
* wks: New man pages for client and server.
* Many other bug fixes.
See-also: gnupg-announce/2017q3/000411.html
Noteworthy changes in version 2.1.21 (2017-05-15)
-------------------------------------------------
* gpg,gpgsm: Fix corruption of old style keyring.gpg files. This
bug was introduced with version 2.1.20. Note that the default
pubring.kbx format was not affected.
* gpg,dirmngr: Removed the skeleton config file support. The
system's standard methods for providing default configuration
files should be used instead.
* w32: The Windows installer now allows installation of GnuPG
without Administrator permissions.
* gpg: Fixed import filter property match bug.
* scd: Removed Linux support for Cardman 4040 PCMCIA reader.
* scd: Fixed some corner case bugs in resume/suspend handling.

See-also: gnupg-announce/2017q2/000405.html
Noteworthy changes in version 2.1.20 (2017-04-03)
-------------------------------------------------

import and export filters.
* gpg: New command --quick-set-primary-uid.
* gpg: New compliance field for the --with-colon key listing.
* gpg: Changed the key parser to generalize the processing of local
meta data packets.

* scd: Improved support for multiple readers.
* scd: Fixed timeout handling for key generation.
* agent: New option --enable-extended-key-format.

uses a default keyserver.

building with GNUTLS.
* dirmngr: Actually take /etc/hosts in account.
* wks: Fixed client problems on Windows. Published keys are now set
to world-readable.
* tests: Fixed creation of temporary directories.
* A socket directory for a non standard GNUGHOME is now created on
the fly under /run/user. Thus "gpgconf --create-socketdir" is now
optional. The use of "gpgconf --remove-socketdir" to clean up
obsolete socket directories is however recommended to avoid
cluttering /run/user with useless directories.
* Fixed build problems on some platforms.
See-also: gnupg-announce/2017q2/000404.html
Noteworthy changes in version 2.1.19 (2017-03-01)

only when it is required to watch removal of device/card.

command.

* wks: Create mails with a "WKS-Phase" header. Fix detection of
Draft-2 mode.

Noteworthy changes in version 2.1.18 (2017-01-23)
-------------------------------------------------
* gpg: Remove bogus subkey signature while cleaning a key (with
export-clean, import-clean, or --edit-key's sub-command clean)
* gpg: Allow freezing the clock with --faked-system-time.
* gpg: New --export-option flag "backup", new --import-option flag
"restore".

callback code.
* scd: Lots of code cleanup and internal changes.
* scd: Improved the internal CCID driver.
* dirmngr: Fixed problem with the DNS glue code (removal of the
trailing dot in domain names).
* dirmngr: Make sure that Tor is actually enabled after changing the
conf file and sending SIGHUP or "gpgconf --reload dirmngr".
* dirmngr: Fixed Tor access to IPv6 addresses. Note that current
versions of Tor may require that the flag "IPv6Traffic" is used
with the option "SocksPort" in torrc to actually allow IPv6
traffic.
* dirmngr: Fixed HKP for literally given IPv6 addresses.
* dirmngr: Enabled reverse DNS lookups via Tor.
* dirmngr: Added experimental SRV record lookup for WKD.
See commit 88dc3af3d4ae1afe1d5e136bc4c38bc4e7d4cd10 for details.
* dirmngr: For HKP use "pgpkey-hkps" and "pgpkey-hkp" in SRV record
lookups. Avoid SRV record lookup when a port is explicitly
specified. This fixes a regression from the 1.4 and 2.0 behavior.
* dirmngr: Gracefully handle a missing /etc/nsswitch.conf. Ignore
negation terms (e.g. "[!UNAVAIL=return]" instead of bailing out.
* dirmngr: Better debug output for flags "dns" and "network".
* dirmngr: On reload mark all known HKP servers alive.
* gpgconf: Allow keyword "all" for --launch, --kill, and --reload.

See-also: gnupg-announce/2017q1/000401.html
Noteworthy changes in version 2.1.17 (2016-12-20)
-------------------------------------------------
* gpg: By default new keys expire after 2 years.

comprehension. The old names are still available as aliases.
* gpg: Improved the TOFU trust model.
* gpg: New option --default-new-key-algo.
* scd: Support OpenPGP card V3 for RSA.
* dirmngr: Support for the ADNS library has been removed. Instead
William Ahern's Libdns is now source included and used on all
platforms. This enables Tor support on all platforms. The new
option --standard-resolver can be used to disable this code at
runtime. In case of build problems the new configure option
--disable-libdns can be used to build without Libdns.
* dirmngr: Lazily launch ldap reaper thread.
* tools: New options --check and --status-fd for gpg-wks-client.
* The UTF-8 byte order mark is now skipped when reading conf files.
