+ GnuPG 1.4 and GnuPG 1.9
+ -----------------------
+ GnuPG 1.4 is the stable version of GnuPG; GnuPG 1.9 is the
+ development branch. However, large parts of GnuPG 1.9 are also
+ considered to be stable and useful. In particular the tools
+ "gpg-agent" (private key operations and passphrase caching) and
+ "gpgsm" (S/MIME cousin of "gpg") are considered stable. Both
+ packages (1.4.x and 1.9.x) may be installed at the same time and
+ it is actually suggested to do this if you need S/MIME support or
+ want to make use of gpg-agent.
