Upgrade Information
===================

If you are upgrading from a version prior to 1.0.7, you should run the
script tools/convert-from-106 once.  Please note also that due to a
bug in versions prior to 1.0.6 it may not be possible to downgrade to
such versions unless you apply the patch
http://www.gnupg.org/developer/gpg-woody-fix.txt .

If you have any problems, please see the FAQ and the mailing list
archive at http://lists.gnupg.org.  Please direct questions to the
gnupg-users@gnupg.org mailing list.


What's New
===========

Here is a list of major user visible changes since 1.2.2:

    * Added read-only support for BZIP2 compression.  This should be
      considered experimental, and is only available if the libbzip2
      library <http://sources.redhat.com/bzip2/> is installed.

    * Added the ability to handle messages that can be decrypted with
      either a passphrase or a secret key.

    * Most support for Elgamal sign+encrypt keys has been removed.
      Old signatures may still be verified, and existing encrypted
      messages may still be decrypted, but no new signatures may be
      issued by, and no new messages will be encrypted to, these keys.
      Elgamal sign+encrypt keys are not part of the web of trust.  The
      only new message that can be generated by an Elgamal
      sign+encrypt key is a key revocation.  Note that in a future
      version of GnuPG (currently planned for 1.4), all support for
      Elgamal sign+encrypt keys will be removed, so take this
      opportunity to revoke old keys now.

    * A Russian translation is included again as well as a new
      Bela-Russian translation.

Renaming 1.2.3-r5 ebuild with some minor changes is sufficient.
Attaching diff.

changes from gnupg-1.2.3-r5.ebuild

Removed ELGamal patch as this seems to be included in 1.2.4 by default (please
verify).

Commented out hkp-patch. Did not work. Is it still necessary?
Comment 2 Tavis Ormandy (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2003-12-26 10:05:41 UTC
Thanks, looks like the hkp fix made it into this release.

added a few updates and changes for the new release, and added optional support for the IDEA algorithm.
