+What's New in 2.0.20
====================
- * GPG now accepts a space separated fingerprint as a user ID. This
- allows to copy and paste the fingerprint from the key listing.
+ * Decryption using smartcards keys > 3072 bit does now work.
- * GPG now uses the longest key ID available. Removed support for the
- original HKP keyserver which is not anymore used by any site.
+ * New meta option ignore-invalid-option to allow using the same
+ option file by other GnuPG versions.
- * Rebuild the trustdb after changing the option --min-cert-level.
+ * gpg: The hash algorithm is now printed for sig records in key listings.
- * Ukrainian translation.
+ * gpg: Skip invalid keyblock packets during import to avoid a DoS.
- * Honor option --cert-digest-algo when creating a cert.
+ * gpg: Correctly handle ports from DNS SRV records.
- * Emit a DECRYPTION_INFO status line.
+ * keyserver: Improve use of SRV records
- * Improved detection of JPEG files.
+ * 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.
