Description Erinn Looney-Triggs 2005-08-02 11:29:03 UTC
New version of GnuPG available.  
Thanks, 
-Erinn 
 
Here is a copy of whats new: 
What's New 
=========== 
 
    * New command "verify" in the card-edit menu to display 
      the Private-DO-3.  The Admin command has been enhanced to take 
      the optional arguments "on", "off" and "verify".  The latter may 
      be used to verify the Admin Pin without modifying data; this 
      allows displaying the Private-DO-4 with the "list" command. 
 
    * Rewrote large parts of the card code to optionally make use of a 
      running gpg-agent.  If --use-agent is being used and a gpg-agent 
      with enabled scdaemon is active, gpg will now divert all card 
      operations to that daemon.  This is required because both, 
      scdaemon and gpg require exclusive access to the card reader. By 
      delegating the work to scdaemon, both can peacefully coexist and 
      scdaemon is able to control the use of the reader.  Note that 
      this requires at least gnupg 1.9.17. 
 
    * Fixed a couple of problems with the card reader. 
 
    * Command completion is now available in the --edit-key and 
      --card-edit menus.  Filename completion is available at all 
      filename prompts.  Note that completion is only available if the 
      system provides a readline library. 
 
    * New experimental HKP keyserver helper that uses the cURL 
      library.  It is enabled via the configure option --with-libcurl 
      like the other (also experimental) cURL helpers. Please make 
      sure to also apply the attached patch. 
 
    * New key cleaning options that can be used to remove unusable 
      (expired, revoked) signatures from a key.  This is available via 
      the new "clean" command in --edit-key on a key by key basis, as 
      well as via the import-clean-sigs/import-clean-uids and 
      export-clean-sigs/export-clean-uids options for --import-options 
      and --export-options.  These are currently off by default, and 
      replace the import-unusable-sigs/export-unusable-sigs options 
      from version 1.4.1. 
 
    * New export option export-reset-subkey-passwd. 
 
    * New option --limit-card-insert-tries.

Looks like their main server is getting hammered, I got my copy from
http://mirrors.rootmode.com/ftp.gnupg.org/gnupg/gnupg-1.4.2.tar.bz2

Bumped in cvs.
Thanks for reporting!

This really could be marked stable by now. It's been out for several months. JMHO.
