Noteworthy changes in version 1.3.6
------------------------------------------------
+ * New --keyid-format option that selects short (99242560), long
+ (DB698D7199242560), 0xshort (0x99242560), or 0xlong
+ (0xDB698D7199242560) keyid displays. This lets users tune the
+ display to what they prefer.
+
+ * The --list-options and --verify-options option
+ "show-long-keyids" has been removed since --keyid-format
+ obviates the need for them.
+
+ * Support for the old quasi-1991 partial length encoding has been
+ removed.
+
+ * The --export-all and --export-options include-non-rfc options
+ have been removed as superfluous since nonstandard V3 Elgamal
+ sign+encrypt keys have been removed.
+
+ * Preferred keyserver support has been added. Users may set a
+ preferred keyserver via the --edit-key command "keyserver". If
+ the --keyserver-option honor-keyserver-url is set (and it is by
+ default), then the preferred keyserver is used when refreshing
+ that key.
+
+ * New --ask-cert-level/--no-ask-cert-level option to turn on and
+ off the prompt for signature level when signing a key. Defaults
+ to off.
