1 * There is a Texinfo manual documenting the API.
3 * The gpgme_set_keylist_mode function returns an error, and changed
4 its meaning. It is no longer usable to select between normal and
5 fast mode (newer versions of GnuPG will always be fast), but
6 selects between local keyring, remote keyserver, or both.
7 For this, two new macros are defined, GPGME_KEYLIST_MODE_LOCAL
8 and GPGME_KEYLIST_MODE_EXTERN. To make it possible to modify the
9 current setting, a fucntion gpgme_get_keylist_mode was added to
10 retrieve the current mode.
12 * gpgme_wait accepts a new argument STATUS to return the error status
13 of the operation on the context. Its definition is closer to
14 waitpid() now than before.
16 * The LENGTH argument to gpgme_data_new_from_filepart changed its
17 type from off_t to the unsigned size_t.
19 * The R_HD argument to the GpgmePassphraseCb type changed its type
22 * New interface gpgme_op_trustlist_end() to match
23 gpgme_op_keylist_end().
25 * The CryptPlug modules have been renamed to gpgme-openpgp and
26 gpgme-smime, and they are installed in pkglibdir by `make install'.
28 * An idle function can be registered with gpgme_register_idle().
30 * Interface changes relative to the 0.3.0 release:
31 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
32 gpgme_data_new_from_filepart CHANGED: Type of LENGTH is size_t.
33 GpgmePassphraseCb CHANGED: Type of R_HD is void **.
34 gpgme_wait CHANGED: New argument STATUS.
35 gpgme_set_keylist_mode CHANGED: Type of return value is GpgmeError.
36 The function has a new meaning!
37 gpgme_get_keylist_mode NEW
38 GPGME_KEYLIST_MODE_LOCAL NEW
39 GPGME_KEYLIST_MODE_EXTERN NEW
40 gpgme_op_trustlist_next NEW
42 gpgme_register_idle NEW
43 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
45 Noteworthy changes in version 0.3.0 (2001-12-19)
46 ------------------------------------------------
48 * New interface gpgme_set_protocol() to set the protocol and thus the
49 crypto engine to be used by the context. Currently, the OpenPGP
50 and the CMS protocols are supported. They are specified by the new
51 preprocessor symbols GPGME_PROTOCOL_OpenPGP and GPGME_PROTOCOL_CMS.
52 A new context uses the OpenPGP engine by default.
54 * gpgme_get_engine_info() returns information for all crypto engines
55 compiled into the library. The XML format has changed. To
56 reliably get the version of a crypto engine, the <version> tag
57 after the appropriate <protocol> tag has to be looked for.
59 * New interface gpgme_engine_check_version(), obsoleting
60 gpgme_check_engine(). Check the version of all engines you are
61 supporting in your software.
63 * GpgmeKey lists the user ids in the order as they are returned by
64 GnuPG, first the primary key with index 0, then the sub-user ids.
66 * New operation gpgme_op_decrypt_verify() to decrypt and verify
67 signatures simultaneously.
69 * The new interface gpgme_op_keylist_end() terminates a pending
70 keylist operation. A keylist operation is also terminated when
71 gpgme_op_keylist_next() returns GPGME_EOF.
73 * GPGME can be compiled without GnuPG being installed (`--with-gpg=PATH'),
74 cross-compiled, or even compiled without support for GnuPG
77 * GPGME can be compiled with support for GpgSM (GnuPG for S/MIME,
78 `--with-gpgsm=PATH'). It is enabled by default if the `gpgsm' is found
79 in the path, but it can also be compiled without support for GpgSM
82 * CryptPlug modules for GPGME are included and can be enabled at
83 configure time (`--enable-gpgmeplug'). There is one module which
84 uses the GnuPG engine (`gpgmeplug') and one module which uses the
85 GpgSM engine (`gpgsmplug').
87 * Interface changes relative to the latest 0.2.x release:
88 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
89 gpgme_key_get_as_xml CHANGED: Sub-user ids reversed in order.
90 gpgme_key_get_string_attr CHANGED: User ids reversed in order.
91 gpgme_key_get_ulong_attr CHANGED: User ids reversed in order.
92 gpgme_get_engine_info CHANGED: New format, extended content.
93 gpgme_engine_check_version NEW
94 gpgme_decrypt_verify_start NEW
95 gpgme_decrypt_verify NEW
96 gpgme_op_keylist_next NEW
97 gpgme_set_protocol NEW
98 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
101 Noteworthy changes in version 0.2.3 (2001-09-17)
102 ------------------------------------------------
104 * New function gpgme_get_op_info which can be used to get the micalg
105 parameter needed for MOSS.
107 * New functions gpgme_get_armor and gpgme_get_textmode.
109 * The usual bug fixes and some minor functionality improvements.
111 * Added a simple encryption component for MS-Windows; however the
112 build procedure might have some problems.
115 Noteworthy changes in version 0.2.2 (2001-06-12)
116 ------------------------------------------------
118 * Implemented a key cache.
120 * Fixed a race condition under W32 and some other bug fixes.
123 Noteworthy changes in version 0.2.1 (2001-04-02)
124 ------------------------------------------------
126 * Changed debug output and GPGME_DEBUG variable (gpgme/debug.c)
128 * Handle GnuPG's new key capabilities output and support revocation
131 * Made the W32 support more robust.
