Noteworthy changes in version 1.4.1
-------------------------------------------------
+ * [W32] The algorithm for the default home directory changed:
+ First we look at the environment variable GNUPGHOME, if this one
+ is not set, we check whether the registry entry
+ HKCU\Software\GNU\GnuPG:HomeDir has been set and if this fails
+ we use a GnuPG directory below the standard application data
+ directory (APPDATA) of the current user. Only in the case that
+ this directory cannot be determined, the old default of c:\gnupg
+ will be used. The option --homedir still overrides all of them.
+
* New --rfc2440-text option which controls how text is handled in
signatures. This is in response to some problems seen with
certain PGP/MIME mail clients and GnuPG version 1.4.0. More
