+ * New interface gpgme_set_protocol() to set the protocol and thus the
+   crypto engine to be used by the context.  Currently, the OpenPGP
+   and the CMS protocols are supported.  They are specified by the new
+   preprocessor symbols GPGME_PROTOCOL_OpenPGP and GPGME_PROTOCOL_CMS.
+   A new context uses the OpenPGP engine by default.
+
+ * gpgme_get_engine_info() returns information for all crypto engines
+   compiled into the library.  The XML format has changed.  To
+   reliably get the version of a crypto engine, the <version> tag
+   after the appropriate <protocol> tag has to be looked for.
+
+ * New interface gpgme_engine_check_version(), obsoleting
+   gpgme_check_engine().  Check the version of all engines you are
+   supporting in your software.

  * GpgmeKey lists the user ids in the order as they are returned by
    GnuPG, first the primary key with index 0, then the sub-user ids.
