* Minor bug fixes.
- * New option --rfc4880 which is currently identical to --openpgp.
+ * The new OpenPGP standard is now complete, and has been published
+ as RFC-4880. The GnuPG --openpgp mode (note this is not the
+ default) has been updated to match the new standard. The
+ --rfc2440 option can be used to return to the older RFC-2440
+ behavior. The main differences between the two are
+ "--enable-dsa2 --no-rfc2440-text --escape-from-lines
+ --require-cross-certification".
+ * By default (i.e. --gnupg mode), --require-cross-certification is
+ now on. --rfc2440-text and --force-v3-sigs are now off.
