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 * New interfaces gpgme_set_include_certs and gpgme_get_include_certs
10 to set and get the number of certifications to include in S/MIME
13 * New interfaces gpgme_op_encrypt_sign and gpgme_op_encrypt_sign_start
14 to encrypt and sign a message in a combined operation.
16 * New interface gpgme_op_keylist_ext_start to search for multiple patterns.
18 * Interface changes relative to the 0.3.3 release:
19 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
20 gpgme_op_encrypt CHANGED: Can fail with GPGME_Invalid_Recipients
21 gpgme_set_include_certs NEW
22 gpgme_get_include_certs NEW
23 gpgme_op_encrypt_sign NEW
24 gpgme_op_encrypt_sign_start NEW
25 gpgme_op_keylist_ext_start NEW
26 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
28 Noteworthy changes in version 0.3.3 (2002-02-12)
29 ------------------------------------------------
31 * Fix the Makefile in jnlib.
33 * Fix the test suite (hopefully). It should clean up all its state
34 with `make check' now.
37 Noteworthy changes in version 0.3.2 (2002-02-10)
38 ------------------------------------------------
40 * Remove erroneous dependency on libgcrypt in jnlib.
43 Noteworthy changes in version 0.3.1 (2002-02-09)
44 ------------------------------------------------
46 * There is a Texinfo manual documenting the API.
48 * The gpgme_set_keylist_mode function returns an error, and changed
49 its meaning. It is no longer usable to select between normal and
50 fast mode (newer versions of GnuPG will always be fast), but
51 selects between local keyring, remote keyserver, or both.
52 For this, two new macros are defined, GPGME_KEYLIST_MODE_LOCAL
53 and GPGME_KEYLIST_MODE_EXTERN. To make it possible to modify the
54 current setting, a fucntion gpgme_get_keylist_mode was added to
55 retrieve the current mode.
57 * gpgme_wait accepts a new argument STATUS to return the error status
58 of the operation on the context. Its definition is closer to
59 waitpid() now than before.
61 * The LENGTH argument to gpgme_data_new_from_filepart changed its
62 type from off_t to the unsigned size_t.
64 * The R_HD argument to the GpgmePassphraseCb type changed its type
67 * New interface gpgme_op_trustlist_end() to match
68 gpgme_op_keylist_end().
70 * The CryptPlug modules have been renamed to gpgme-openpgp and
71 gpgme-smime, and they are installed in pkglibdir by `make install'.
73 * An idle function can be registered with gpgme_register_idle().
75 * The GpgSM backend supports key generation with gpgme_op_genkey().
77 * Interface changes relative to the 0.3.0 release:
78 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
79 gpgme_data_new_from_filepart CHANGED: Type of LENGTH is size_t.
80 GpgmePassphraseCb CHANGED: Type of R_HD is void **.
81 gpgme_wait CHANGED: New argument STATUS.
82 gpgme_set_keylist_mode CHANGED: Type of return value is GpgmeError.
83 The function has a new meaning!
84 gpgme_get_keylist_mode NEW
85 GPGME_KEYLIST_MODE_LOCAL NEW
86 GPGME_KEYLIST_MODE_EXTERN NEW
87 gpgme_op_trustlist_next NEW
89 gpgme_register_idle NEW
90 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
92 Noteworthy changes in version 0.3.0 (2001-12-19)
93 ------------------------------------------------
95 * New interface gpgme_set_protocol() to set the protocol and thus the
96 crypto engine to be used by the context. Currently, the OpenPGP
97 and the CMS protocols are supported. They are specified by the new
98 preprocessor symbols GPGME_PROTOCOL_OpenPGP and GPGME_PROTOCOL_CMS.
99 A new context uses the OpenPGP engine by default.
101 * gpgme_get_engine_info() returns information for all crypto engines
102 compiled into the library. The XML format has changed. To
103 reliably get the version of a crypto engine, the <version> tag
104 after the appropriate <protocol> tag has to be looked for.
106 * New interface gpgme_engine_check_version(), obsoleting
107 gpgme_check_engine(). Check the version of all engines you are
108 supporting in your software.
110 * GpgmeKey lists the user ids in the order as they are returned by
111 GnuPG, first the primary key with index 0, then the sub-user ids.
113 * New operation gpgme_op_decrypt_verify() to decrypt and verify
114 signatures simultaneously.
116 * The new interface gpgme_op_keylist_end() terminates a pending
117 keylist operation. A keylist operation is also terminated when
118 gpgme_op_keylist_next() returns GPGME_EOF.
120 * GPGME can be compiled without GnuPG being installed (`--with-gpg=PATH'),
121 cross-compiled, or even compiled without support for GnuPG
124 * GPGME can be compiled with support for GpgSM (GnuPG for S/MIME,
125 `--with-gpgsm=PATH'). It is enabled by default if the `gpgsm' is found
126 in the path, but it can also be compiled without support for GpgSM
129 * CryptPlug modules for GPGME are included and can be enabled at
130 configure time (`--enable-gpgmeplug'). There is one module which
131 uses the GnuPG engine (`gpgmeplug') and one module which uses the
132 GpgSM engine (`gpgsmplug').
134 * Interface changes relative to the latest 0.2.x release:
135 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
136 gpgme_key_get_as_xml CHANGED: Sub-user ids reversed in order.
137 gpgme_key_get_string_attr CHANGED: User ids reversed in order.
138 gpgme_key_get_ulong_attr CHANGED: User ids reversed in order.
139 gpgme_get_engine_info CHANGED: New format, extended content.
140 gpgme_engine_check_version NEW
141 gpgme_decrypt_verify_start NEW
142 gpgme_decrypt_verify NEW
143 gpgme_op_keylist_next NEW
144 gpgme_set_protocol NEW
145 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
148 Noteworthy changes in version 0.2.3 (2001-09-17)
149 ------------------------------------------------
151 * New function gpgme_get_op_info which can be used to get the micalg
152 parameter needed for MOSS.
154 * New functions gpgme_get_armor and gpgme_get_textmode.
156 * The usual bug fixes and some minor functionality improvements.
158 * Added a simple encryption component for MS-Windows; however the
159 build procedure might have some problems.
162 Noteworthy changes in version 0.2.2 (2001-06-12)
163 ------------------------------------------------
165 * Implemented a key cache.
167 * Fixed a race condition under W32 and some other bug fixes.
170 Noteworthy changes in version 0.2.1 (2001-04-02)
171 ------------------------------------------------
173 * Changed debug output and GPGME_DEBUG variable (gpgme/debug.c)
175 * Handle GnuPG's new key capabilities output and support revocation
178 * Made the W32 support more robust.
