RSA sign and encrypt - has been added with the same restrictions. + * New commands: --personal-cipher-preferences, + --personal-digest-preferences, and + --personal-compress-preferences allow the user to specify which + algorithms are to be preferred. Note that this does not permit + using an algorithm that is not present in the recipient's + preferences (which would violate the OpenPGP standard). This + just allows sorting the preferences differently. - * [W32] Keyserver access does work with Windows NT. + * New "group" command to refer to several keys with one name. + + * A warning is issued if the user forces the use of an algorithm + that is not listed in the recipient's preferences. + + * Full revocation key (aka "designated revoker") support. + + * The preferred hash algorithms on a key are consulted when + encrypting a signed message to that key. Note that this is + disabled by default by a SHA1 preference in + --personal-digest-preferences. + + * --cert-digest-algo allows the user to specify the hash algorithm + to use when signing a key rather than the default SHA1 (or MD5 + for PGP2 keys). Do not use this feature unless you fully + understand the implications of this. + + * --pgp7 mode automatically sets all necessary options to ensure + that the resulting message will be usable by a user of PGP 7.x. + + * New --attribute-fd command for frontends and scripts to get the + contents of attribute packets (i.e. photos) + + * In expert mode, the user can now re-sign a v3 key with a v4 + self-signature. This does not change the v3 key into a v4 key, + but it does allow the user to use preferences, primary ID flags, + etc. + + * Significantly improved photo ID support on non-unixlike + platforms. + + * The version number has jumped ahead to 1.1.90 to skip over the + old version 1.1 and to get ready for the upcoming 1.2. + + * ElGamal sign and encrypt is not anymore allowed in the key + generation dialog unless in expert mode.
