+What's New in 2.0.21
====================
- * Decryption using smartcards keys > 3072 bit does now work.
+ * gpg-agent: By default the users are now asked via the Pinentry
+ whether they trust an X.509 root key. To prohibit interactive
+ marking of such keys, the new option --no-allow-mark-trusted may
+ be used.
- * New meta option ignore-invalid-option to allow using the same
- option file by other GnuPG versions.
+ * gpg-agent: The command KEYINFO has options to add info from
+ sshcontrol.
- * gpg: The hash algorithm is now printed for sig records in key listings.
+ * The included ssh agent does now support ECDSA keys.
- * gpg: Skip invalid keyblock packets during import to avoid a DoS.
+ * The new option --enable-putty-support allows gpg-agent to act on
+ Windows as a Pageant replacement with full smartcard support.
- * gpg: Correctly handle ports from DNS SRV records.
-
- * keyserver: Improve use of SRV records
-
- * gpg-agent: Avoid tty corruption when killing pinentry.
-
- * scdaemon: Improve detection of card insertion and removal.
-
- * scdaemon: Rename option --disable-keypad to --disable-pinpad.
-
- * scdaemon: Better support for CCID readers. Now, the internal CCID
- driver supports readers without the auto configuration feature.
-
- * scdaemon: Add pinpad input for PC/SC, if your reader has pinpad and
- it supports variable length PIN input, and you specify
- --enable-pinpad-varlen option.
-
- * scdaemon: New option --enable-pinpad-varlen.
-
- * scdaemon: Install into libexecdir to avoid accidental execution
- from the command line.
-
- * Support building using w64-mingw32.
-
- * Assorted bug fixes.
+ * Support installation as portable application under Windows.
