38 * The development has been branched to clean up some API issues.
39 This 0.3 series will be kept for compatibility reasons; so do don't
42 Noteworthy changes in version 0.3.11 (2002-09-20)
43 -------------------------------------------------
47 Noteworthy changes in version 0.3.10 (2002-09-02)
48 -------------------------------------------------
50 * Setting the signing keys for the CMS protocol does now work.
52 * The signers setting is honoured by gpgme_op_edit.
54 Noteworthy changes in version 0.3.9 (2002-08-21)
55 ------------------------------------------------
57 * A spec file for creating RPMs has been added.
59 * An experimental interface to GnuPG's --edit-key functionality is
60 introduced, see gpgme_op_edit.
62 * The new gpgme_import_ext function provides a convenient access to
63 the number of processed keys.
65 * Interface changes relative to the 0.3.8 release:
66 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
69 gpgme_op_edit_start NEW
71 gpgme_op_import_ext NEW
72 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
74 Noteworthy changes in version 0.3.8 (2002-06-25)
75 ------------------------------------------------
77 * It is possible to use an outside event loop for the I/O to the
78 crypto engine by setting the I/O callbacks with gpgme_set_io_cbs.
80 * Interface changes relative to the 0.3.6 release:
81 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
91 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
93 Noteworthy changes in version 0.3.7 (2002-06-04)
94 ------------------------------------------------
96 * GPGME_ATTR_OTRUST is implemented now.
98 * A first step toward thread safeness has been achieved, see the
99 documentation for details. Supported thread libraries are pthread
102 Noteworthy changes in version 0.3.6 (2002-05-03)
103 ------------------------------------------------
105 * All error output of the gpgsm backend is send to the bit bucket.
107 * The signature verification functions are extended. Instead of
108 always returning GPGME_SIG_STATUS_GOOD, the functions new codes for
109 expired signatures. 2 new functions may be used to retrieve more
110 detailed information like the signature expiration time and a
111 validity information of the key without an extra key looking.
113 * The current passphrase callback and progress meter callback can be
114 retrieved with the new functions gpgme_get_passphrase_cb and
115 gpgme_get_progress_cb respectively.
117 * Interface changes relative to the 0.3.5 release:
118 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
119 gpgme_get_passphrase_cb NEW
120 gpgme_get_progress_cb NEW
121 GpgmeDataEncoding NEW
122 gpgme_data_set_encoding NEW
123 gpgme_data_get_encoding NEW
124 GPGME_SIG_STAT_GOOD_EXP NEW
125 GPGME_SIG_STAT_GOOD_EXPKEY NEW
126 gpgme_op_verify CHANGED: Returns more status codes.
127 GPGME_ATTR_SIG_STATUS NEW
128 gpgme_get_sig_string_attr NEW

130 gpgme_get_protocol NEW
131 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
133 Noteworthy changes in version 0.3.5 (2002-04-01)
134 ------------------------------------------------
136 * gpgme_op_encrypt can be called with RECIPIENTS being 0. In this
137 case, symmetric encryption is performed. Note that this requires a
138 passphrase from the user.
140 * More information is returned for X.509 certificates.
142 * Interface changes relative to the 0.3.4 release:
143 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
144 gpgme_op_encrypt EXTENDED: Symmetric encryption possible
145 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
147 Noteworthy changes in version 0.3.4 (2002-03-04)
148 ------------------------------------------------
150 * gpgme_op_encrypt does now fail with GPGME_Invalid_Recipients if
151 some recipients have been invalid, whereas earlier versions
152 succeeded in this case. The plaintext is still encrypted for all valid
153 recipients, so the application might take this error as a hint that
154 the ciphertext is not usable for all requested recipients.
155 Information about invalid recipients is available with gpgme_get_op_info.
157 * gpgme_op_verify now allows to pass an uninitialized data object as
158 its plaintext argument to check for normal and cleartext
159 signatures. The plaintext is then returned in the data object.
161 * New interfaces gpgme_set_include_certs and gpgme_get_include_certs
162 to set and get the number of certifications to include in S/MIME
165 * New interfaces gpgme_op_encrypt_sign and gpgme_op_encrypt_sign_start
166 to encrypt and sign a message in a combined operation.
168 * New interface gpgme_op_keylist_ext_start to search for multiple patterns.
170 * gpgme_key_get_ulong_attr supports the GPGME_ATTR_EXPIRE attribute.
172 * Interface changes relative to the 0.3.3 release:
173 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
174 gpgme_op_encrypt CHANGED: Can fail with GPGME_Invalid_Recipients
175 gpgme_op_verify EXTENDED: Accepts uninitialized text argument
176 gpgme_key_get_ulong_attr EXTENDED: Supports GPGME_ATTR_EXPIRE
177 gpgme_set_include_certs NEW
178 gpgme_get_include_certs NEW
179 gpgme_op_encrypt_sign NEW
180 gpgme_op_encrypt_sign_start NEW
181 gpgme_op_keylist_ext_start NEW
182 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
184 Noteworthy changes in version 0.3.3 (2002-02-12)
185 ------------------------------------------------
187 * Fix the Makefile in jnlib.
189 * Fix the test suite (hopefully). It should clean up all its state
190 with `make check' now.
193 Noteworthy changes in version 0.3.2 (2002-02-10)
194 ------------------------------------------------
196 * Remove erroneous dependency on libgcrypt in jnlib.
199 Noteworthy changes in version 0.3.1 (2002-02-09)
200 ------------------------------------------------
202 * There is a Texinfo manual documenting the API.
204 * The gpgme_set_keylist_mode function returns an error, and changed
205 its meaning. It is no longer usable to select between normal and
206 fast mode (newer versions of GnuPG will always be fast), but
207 selects between local keyring, remote keyserver, or both.
208 For this, two new macros are defined, GPGME_KEYLIST_MODE_LOCAL
209 and GPGME_KEYLIST_MODE_EXTERN. To make it possible to modify the
210 current setting, a fucntion gpgme_get_keylist_mode was added to
211 retrieve the current mode.
213 * gpgme_wait accepts a new argument STATUS to return the error status
214 of the operation on the context. Its definition is closer to
215 waitpid() now than before.
217 * The LENGTH argument to gpgme_data_new_from_filepart changed its
218 type from off_t to the unsigned size_t.
220 * The R_HD argument to the GpgmePassphraseCb type changed its type
221 from void* to void**.
223 * New interface gpgme_op_trustlist_end() to match
224 gpgme_op_keylist_end().
226 * The CryptPlug modules have been renamed to gpgme-openpgp and
227 gpgme-smime, and they are installed in pkglibdir by `make install'.
229 * An idle function can be registered with gpgme_register_idle().
231 * The GpgSM backend supports key generation with gpgme_op_genkey().
233 * Interface changes relative to the 0.3.0 release:
234 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
235 gpgme_data_new_from_filepart CHANGED: Type of LENGTH is size_t.
236 GpgmePassphraseCb CHANGED: Type of R_HD is void **.
237 gpgme_wait CHANGED: New argument STATUS.
238 gpgme_set_keylist_mode CHANGED: Type of return value is GpgmeError.
239 The function has a new meaning!
240 gpgme_get_keylist_mode NEW
241 GPGME_KEYLIST_MODE_LOCAL NEW
242 GPGME_KEYLIST_MODE_EXTERN NEW
243 gpgme_op_trustlist_next NEW
245 gpgme_register_idle NEW
246 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
248 Noteworthy changes in version 0.3.0 (2001-12-19)
249 ------------------------------------------------
251 * New interface gpgme_set_protocol() to set the protocol and thus the
252 crypto engine to be used by the context. Currently, the OpenPGP
253 and the CMS protocols are supported. They are specified by the new
254 preprocessor symbols GPGME_PROTOCOL_OpenPGP and GPGME_PROTOCOL_CMS.
255 A new context uses the OpenPGP engine by default.
257 * gpgme_get_engine_info() returns information for all crypto engines
258 compiled into the library. The XML format has changed. To
259 reliably get the version of a crypto engine, the <version> tag
260 after the appropriate <protocol> tag has to be looked for.
262 * New interface gpgme_engine_check_version(), obsoleting
263 gpgme_check_engine(). Check the version of all engines you are
264 supporting in your software.
266 * GpgmeKey lists the user ids in the order as they are returned by
267 GnuPG, first the primary key with index 0, then the sub-user ids.
269 * New operation gpgme_op_decrypt_verify() to decrypt and verify
270 signatures simultaneously.
272 * The new interface gpgme_op_keylist_end() terminates a pending
273 keylist operation. A keylist operation is also terminated when
274 gpgme_op_keylist_next() returns GPGME_EOF.
276 * GPGME can be compiled without GnuPG being installed (`--with-gpg=PATH'),
277 cross-compiled, or even compiled without support for GnuPG
280 * GPGME can be compiled with support for GpgSM (GnuPG for S/MIME,
281 `--with-gpgsm=PATH'). It is enabled by default if the `gpgsm' is found
282 in the path, but it can also be compiled without support for GpgSM
285 * CryptPlug modules for GPGME are included and can be enabled at
286 configure time (`--enable-gpgmeplug'). There is one module which
287 uses the GnuPG engine (`gpgmeplug') and one module which uses the
288 GpgSM engine (`gpgsmplug').
290 * Interface changes relative to the latest 0.2.x release:
291 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
292 gpgme_key_get_as_xml CHANGED: Sub-user ids reversed in order.
293 gpgme_key_get_string_attr CHANGED: User ids reversed in order.
294 gpgme_key_get_ulong_attr CHANGED: User ids reversed in order.
295 gpgme_get_engine_info CHANGED: New format, extended content.
296 gpgme_engine_check_version NEW
297 gpgme_decrypt_verify_start NEW
298 gpgme_decrypt_verify NEW
299 gpgme_op_keylist_next NEW
300 gpgme_set_protocol NEW
301 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
304 Noteworthy changes in version 0.2.3 (2001-09-17)
305 ------------------------------------------------
307 * New function gpgme_get_op_info which can be used to get the micalg
308 parameter needed for MOSS.
310 * New functions gpgme_get_armor and gpgme_get_textmode.
312 * The usual bug fixes and some minor functionality improvements.
314 * Added a simple encryption component for MS-Windows; however the
315 build procedure might have some problems.
318 Noteworthy changes in version 0.2.2 (2001-06-12)
319 ------------------------------------------------
321 * Implemented a key cache.
323 * Fixed a race condition under W32 and some other bug fixes.
326 Noteworthy changes in version 0.2.1 (2001-04-02)
327 ------------------------------------------------
329 * Changed debug output and GPGME_DEBUG variable (gpgme/debug.c)
331 * Handle GnuPG's new key capabilities output and support revocation
334 * Made the W32 support more robust.
