1 Noteworthy changes in version 0.3.9 (2002-08-21)
2 ------------------------------------------------
4 * A spec file for creating RPMs has been added.
6 * An experimental interface to GnuPG's --edit-key functionality is
7 introduced, see gpgme_op_edit.
9 * The new gpgme_import_ext function provides a convenient access to
10 the number of processed keys.
12 * Interface changes relative to the 0.3.8 release:
13 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
16 gpgme_op_edit_start NEW
18 gpgme_op_import_ext NEW
19 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
21 Noteworthy changes in version 0.3.8 (2002-06-25)
22 ------------------------------------------------
24 * It is possible to use an outside event loop for the I/O to the
25 crypto engine by setting the I/O callbacks with gpgme_set_io_cbs.
27 * Interface changes relative to the 0.3.6 release:
28 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
38 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
40 Noteworthy changes in version 0.3.7 (2002-06-04)
41 ------------------------------------------------
43 * GPGME_ATTR_OTRUST is implemented now.
45 * A first step toward thread safeness has been achieved, see the
46 documentation for details. Supported thread libraries are pthread
49 Noteworthy changes in version 0.3.6 (2002-05-03)
50 ------------------------------------------------
52 * All error output of the gpgsm backend is send to the bit bucket.
54 * The signature verification functions are extended. Instead of
55 always returning GPGME_SIG_STATUS_GOOD, the functions new codes for
56 expired signatures. 2 new functions may be used to retrieve more
57 detailed information like the signature expiration time and a
58 validity information of the key without an extra key looking.
60 * The current passphrase callback and progress meter callback can be
61 retrieved with the new functions gpgme_get_passphrase_cb and
62 gpgme_get_progress_cb respectively.
64 * Interface changes relative to the 0.3.5 release:
65 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
66 gpgme_get_passphrase_cb NEW
67 gpgme_get_progress_cb NEW
69 gpgme_data_set_encoding NEW
70 gpgme_data_get_encoding NEW
71 GPGME_SIG_STAT_GOOD_EXP NEW
72 GPGME_SIG_STAT_GOOD_EXPKEY NEW
73 gpgme_op_verify CHANGED: Returns more status codes.
74 GPGME_ATTR_SIG_STATUS NEW
75 gpgme_get_sig_string_attr NEW
76 gpgme_get_sig_ulong_attr NEW
77 gpgme_get_protocol NEW
78 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
80 Noteworthy changes in version 0.3.5 (2002-04-01)
81 ------------------------------------------------
83 * gpgme_op_encrypt can be called with RECIPIENTS being 0. In this
84 case, symmetric encryption is performed. Note that this requires a
85 passphrase from the user.
87 * More information is returned for X.509 certificates.
89 * Interface changes relative to the 0.3.4 release:
90 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
91 gpgme_op_encrypt EXTENDED: Symmetric encryption possible
92 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
94 Noteworthy changes in version 0.3.4 (2002-03-04)
95 ------------------------------------------------
97 * gpgme_op_encrypt does now fail with GPGME_Invalid_Recipients if
98 some recipients have been invalid, whereas earlier versions
99 succeeded in this case. The plaintext is still encrypted for all valid
100 recipients, so the application might take this error as a hint that
101 the ciphertext is not usable for all requested recipients.
102 Information about invalid recipients is available with gpgme_get_op_info.
104 * gpgme_op_verify now allows to pass an uninitialized data object as
105 its plaintext argument to check for normal and cleartext
106 signatures. The plaintext is then returned in the data object.
108 * New interfaces gpgme_set_include_certs and gpgme_get_include_certs
109 to set and get the number of certifications to include in S/MIME
112 * New interfaces gpgme_op_encrypt_sign and gpgme_op_encrypt_sign_start
113 to encrypt and sign a message in a combined operation.
115 * New interface gpgme_op_keylist_ext_start to search for multiple patterns.
117 * gpgme_key_get_ulong_attr supports the GPGME_ATTR_EXPIRE attribute.
119 * Interface changes relative to the 0.3.3 release:
120 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
121 gpgme_op_encrypt CHANGED: Can fail with GPGME_Invalid_Recipients
122 gpgme_op_verify EXTENDED: Accepts uninitialized text argument
123 gpgme_key_get_ulong_attr EXTENDED: Supports GPGME_ATTR_EXPIRE
124 gpgme_set_include_certs NEW
125 gpgme_get_include_certs NEW
126 gpgme_op_encrypt_sign NEW
127 gpgme_op_encrypt_sign_start NEW
128 gpgme_op_keylist_ext_start NEW
129 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
131 Noteworthy changes in version 0.3.3 (2002-02-12)
132 ------------------------------------------------
134 * Fix the Makefile in jnlib.
136 * Fix the test suite (hopefully). It should clean up all its state
137 with `make check' now.
140 Noteworthy changes in version 0.3.2 (2002-02-10)
141 ------------------------------------------------
143 * Remove erroneous dependency on libgcrypt in jnlib.
146 Noteworthy changes in version 0.3.1 (2002-02-09)
147 ------------------------------------------------
149 * There is a Texinfo manual documenting the API.
151 * The gpgme_set_keylist_mode function returns an error, and changed
152 its meaning. It is no longer usable to select between normal and
153 fast mode (newer versions of GnuPG will always be fast), but
154 selects between local keyring, remote keyserver, or both.
155 For this, two new macros are defined, GPGME_KEYLIST_MODE_LOCAL
156 and GPGME_KEYLIST_MODE_EXTERN. To make it possible to modify the
157 current setting, a fucntion gpgme_get_keylist_mode was added to
158 retrieve the current mode.
160 * gpgme_wait accepts a new argument STATUS to return the error status
161 of the operation on the context. Its definition is closer to
162 waitpid() now than before.
164 * The LENGTH argument to gpgme_data_new_from_filepart changed its
165 type from off_t to the unsigned size_t.
167 * The R_HD argument to the GpgmePassphraseCb type changed its type
168 from void* to void**.
170 * New interface gpgme_op_trustlist_end() to match
171 gpgme_op_keylist_end().
173 * The CryptPlug modules have been renamed to gpgme-openpgp and
174 gpgme-smime, and they are installed in pkglibdir by `make install'.
176 * An idle function can be registered with gpgme_register_idle().
178 * The GpgSM backend supports key generation with gpgme_op_genkey().
180 * Interface changes relative to the 0.3.0 release:
181 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
182 gpgme_data_new_from_filepart CHANGED: Type of LENGTH is size_t.
183 GpgmePassphraseCb CHANGED: Type of R_HD is void **.
184 gpgme_wait CHANGED: New argument STATUS.
185 gpgme_set_keylist_mode CHANGED: Type of return value is GpgmeError.
186 The function has a new meaning!
187 gpgme_get_keylist_mode NEW
188 GPGME_KEYLIST_MODE_LOCAL NEW
189 GPGME_KEYLIST_MODE_EXTERN NEW
190 gpgme_op_trustlist_next NEW
192 gpgme_register_idle NEW
193 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
195 Noteworthy changes in version 0.3.0 (2001-12-19)
196 ------------------------------------------------
198 * New interface gpgme_set_protocol() to set the protocol and thus the
199 crypto engine to be used by the context. Currently, the OpenPGP
200 and the CMS protocols are supported. They are specified by the new
201 preprocessor symbols GPGME_PROTOCOL_OpenPGP and GPGME_PROTOCOL_CMS.
202 A new context uses the OpenPGP engine by default.
204 * gpgme_get_engine_info() returns information for all crypto engines
205 compiled into the library. The XML format has changed. To
206 reliably get the version of a crypto engine, the <version> tag
207 after the appropriate <protocol> tag has to be looked for.
209 * New interface gpgme_engine_check_version(), obsoleting
210 gpgme_check_engine(). Check the version of all engines you are
211 supporting in your software.
213 * GpgmeKey lists the user ids in the order as they are returned by
214 GnuPG, first the primary key with index 0, then the sub-user ids.
216 * New operation gpgme_op_decrypt_verify() to decrypt and verify
217 signatures simultaneously.
219 * The new interface gpgme_op_keylist_end() terminates a pending
220 keylist operation. A keylist operation is also terminated when
221 gpgme_op_keylist_next() returns GPGME_EOF.
223 * GPGME can be compiled without GnuPG being installed (`--with-gpg=PATH'),
224 cross-compiled, or even compiled without support for GnuPG
227 * GPGME can be compiled with support for GpgSM (GnuPG for S/MIME,
228 `--with-gpgsm=PATH'). It is enabled by default if the `gpgsm' is found
229 in the path, but it can also be compiled without support for GpgSM
232 * CryptPlug modules for GPGME are included and can be enabled at
233 configure time (`--enable-gpgmeplug'). There is one module which
234 uses the GnuPG engine (`gpgmeplug') and one module which uses the
235 GpgSM engine (`gpgsmplug').
237 * Interface changes relative to the latest 0.2.x release:
238 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
239 gpgme_key_get_as_xml CHANGED: Sub-user ids reversed in order.
240 gpgme_key_get_string_attr CHANGED: User ids reversed in order.
241 gpgme_key_get_ulong_attr CHANGED: User ids reversed in order.
242 gpgme_get_engine_info CHANGED: New format, extended content.
243 gpgme_engine_check_version NEW
244 gpgme_decrypt_verify_start NEW
245 gpgme_decrypt_verify NEW
246 gpgme_op_keylist_next NEW
247 gpgme_set_protocol NEW
248 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
251 Noteworthy changes in version 0.2.3 (2001-09-17)
252 ------------------------------------------------
254 * New function gpgme_get_op_info which can be used to get the micalg
255 parameter needed for MOSS.
257 * New functions gpgme_get_armor and gpgme_get_textmode.
259 * The usual bug fixes and some minor functionality improvements.
261 * Added a simple encryption component for MS-Windows; however the
262 build procedure might have some problems.
265 Noteworthy changes in version 0.2.2 (2001-06-12)
266 ------------------------------------------------
268 * Implemented a key cache.
270 * Fixed a race condition under W32 and some other bug fixes.
273 Noteworthy changes in version 0.2.1 (2001-04-02)
274 ------------------------------------------------
276 * Changed debug output and GPGME_DEBUG variable (gpgme/debug.c)
278 * Handle GnuPG's new key capabilities output and support revocation
281 * Made the W32 support more robust.
