2 * gpgme_op_encrypt does now fail with GPGME_Invalid_Recipients if
3 some recipients have been invalid, whereas earlier versions
4 succeeded in this case. The plaintext is still encrypted for all valid
5 recipients, so the application might take this error as a hint that
6 the ciphertext is not usable for all requested recipients.
7 Information about invalid recipients is available with gpgme_get_op_info.
9 * gpgme_op_verify now allows to pass an uninitialized data object as
10 its plaintext argument to check for normal and cleartext
11 signatures. The plaintext is then returned in the data object.
13 * New interfaces gpgme_set_include_certs and gpgme_get_include_certs
14 to set and get the number of certifications to include in S/MIME
17 * New interfaces gpgme_op_encrypt_sign and gpgme_op_encrypt_sign_start
18 to encrypt and sign a message in a combined operation.
20 * New interface gpgme_op_keylist_ext_start to search for multiple patterns.
22 * Interface changes relative to the 0.3.3 release:
23 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
24 gpgme_op_encrypt CHANGED: Can fail with GPGME_Invalid_Recipients
25 gpgme_op_verify EXTENDED: Accepts uninitialized text argument
26 gpgme_set_include_certs NEW
27 gpgme_get_include_certs NEW
28 gpgme_op_encrypt_sign NEW
29 gpgme_op_encrypt_sign_start NEW
30 gpgme_op_keylist_ext_start NEW
31 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
33 Noteworthy changes in version 0.3.3 (2002-02-12)
34 ------------------------------------------------
36 * Fix the Makefile in jnlib.
38 * Fix the test suite (hopefully). It should clean up all its state
39 with `make check' now.
42 Noteworthy changes in version 0.3.2 (2002-02-10)
43 ------------------------------------------------
45 * Remove erroneous dependency on libgcrypt in jnlib.
48 Noteworthy changes in version 0.3.1 (2002-02-09)
49 ------------------------------------------------
51 * There is a Texinfo manual documenting the API.
53 * The gpgme_set_keylist_mode function returns an error, and changed
54 its meaning. It is no longer usable to select between normal and
55 fast mode (newer versions of GnuPG will always be fast), but
56 selects between local keyring, remote keyserver, or both.
57 For this, two new macros are defined, GPGME_KEYLIST_MODE_LOCAL
58 and GPGME_KEYLIST_MODE_EXTERN. To make it possible to modify the
59 current setting, a fucntion gpgme_get_keylist_mode was added to
60 retrieve the current mode.
62 * gpgme_wait accepts a new argument STATUS to return the error status
63 of the operation on the context. Its definition is closer to
64 waitpid() now than before.
66 * The LENGTH argument to gpgme_data_new_from_filepart changed its
67 type from off_t to the unsigned size_t.
69 * The R_HD argument to the GpgmePassphraseCb type changed its type
72 * New interface gpgme_op_trustlist_end() to match
73 gpgme_op_keylist_end().
75 * The CryptPlug modules have been renamed to gpgme-openpgp and
76 gpgme-smime, and they are installed in pkglibdir by `make install'.
78 * An idle function can be registered with gpgme_register_idle().
80 * The GpgSM backend supports key generation with gpgme_op_genkey().
82 * Interface changes relative to the 0.3.0 release:
83 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
84 gpgme_data_new_from_filepart CHANGED: Type of LENGTH is size_t.
85 GpgmePassphraseCb CHANGED: Type of R_HD is void **.
86 gpgme_wait CHANGED: New argument STATUS.
87 gpgme_set_keylist_mode CHANGED: Type of return value is GpgmeError.
88 The function has a new meaning!
89 gpgme_get_keylist_mode NEW
90 GPGME_KEYLIST_MODE_LOCAL NEW
91 GPGME_KEYLIST_MODE_EXTERN NEW
92 gpgme_op_trustlist_next NEW
94 gpgme_register_idle NEW
95 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
97 Noteworthy changes in version 0.3.0 (2001-12-19)
98 ------------------------------------------------
100 * New interface gpgme_set_protocol() to set the protocol and thus the
101 crypto engine to be used by the context. Currently, the OpenPGP
102 and the CMS protocols are supported. They are specified by the new
103 preprocessor symbols GPGME_PROTOCOL_OpenPGP and GPGME_PROTOCOL_CMS.
104 A new context uses the OpenPGP engine by default.
106 * gpgme_get_engine_info() returns information for all crypto engines
107 compiled into the library. The XML format has changed. To
108 reliably get the version of a crypto engine, the <version> tag
109 after the appropriate <protocol> tag has to be looked for.
111 * New interface gpgme_engine_check_version(), obsoleting
112 gpgme_check_engine(). Check the version of all engines you are
113 supporting in your software.
115 * GpgmeKey lists the user ids in the order as they are returned by
116 GnuPG, first the primary key with index 0, then the sub-user ids.
118 * New operation gpgme_op_decrypt_verify() to decrypt and verify
119 signatures simultaneously.
121 * The new interface gpgme_op_keylist_end() terminates a pending
122 keylist operation. A keylist operation is also terminated when
123 gpgme_op_keylist_next() returns GPGME_EOF.
125 * GPGME can be compiled without GnuPG being installed (`--with-gpg=PATH'),
126 cross-compiled, or even compiled without support for GnuPG
129 * GPGME can be compiled with support for GpgSM (GnuPG for S/MIME,
130 `--with-gpgsm=PATH'). It is enabled by default if the `gpgsm' is found
131 in the path, but it can also be compiled without support for GpgSM
134 * CryptPlug modules for GPGME are included and can be enabled at
135 configure time (`--enable-gpgmeplug'). There is one module which
136 uses the GnuPG engine (`gpgmeplug') and one module which uses the
137 GpgSM engine (`gpgsmplug').
139 * Interface changes relative to the latest 0.2.x release:
140 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
141 gpgme_key_get_as_xml CHANGED: Sub-user ids reversed in order.
142 gpgme_key_get_string_attr CHANGED: User ids reversed in order.
143 gpgme_key_get_ulong_attr CHANGED: User ids reversed in order.
144 gpgme_get_engine_info CHANGED: New format, extended content.
145 gpgme_engine_check_version NEW
146 gpgme_decrypt_verify_start NEW
147 gpgme_decrypt_verify NEW
148 gpgme_op_keylist_next NEW
149 gpgme_set_protocol NEW
150 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
153 Noteworthy changes in version 0.2.3 (2001-09-17)
154 ------------------------------------------------
156 * New function gpgme_get_op_info which can be used to get the micalg
157 parameter needed for MOSS.
159 * New functions gpgme_get_armor and gpgme_get_textmode.
161 * The usual bug fixes and some minor functionality improvements.
163 * Added a simple encryption component for MS-Windows; however the
164 build procedure might have some problems.
167 Noteworthy changes in version 0.2.2 (2001-06-12)
168 ------------------------------------------------
170 * Implemented a key cache.
172 * Fixed a race condition under W32 and some other bug fixes.
175 Noteworthy changes in version 0.2.1 (2001-04-02)
176 ------------------------------------------------
178 * Changed debug output and GPGME_DEBUG variable (gpgme/debug.c)
180 * Handle GnuPG's new key capabilities output and support revocation
183 * Made the W32 support more robust.
