+ * GPG now uses the longest key ID available.  Removed support for the
+   original HKP keyserver which is not anymore used by any site.
+
+ * Rebuild the trustdb after changing the option --min-cert-level.
 
- * Bug fix for newer versions of Libgcrypt.
+ * Ukrainian translation.
 
- * Support the SSH confirm flag and show SSH fingerprints in ssh
-   related pinentries.
+ * Honor option --cert-digest-algo when creating a cert.
 
- * Improved dirmngr/gpgsm interaction for OCSP.
+ * Emit a DECRYPTION_INFO status line.
 
- * Allow generation of card keys up to 4096 bit.
