- * A lot of new features like photo ID support, better keyserver

+ * Photographic user ID support. This uses an external program to

+ * Enhanced keyserver support via keyserver "plugins". GnuPG comes

+ key nonrevocably, this signature cannot be taken back so be

+ want their signature to expire at the same time.
+
+ * Revocation keys (designated revokers) are now supported if

* Some fixes to build cleanly under Cygwin32.
