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
