+ The GNU Privacy Guard 2
+ =========================
+ Version 2.0
-GnuPG 1.9 is the future version of GnuPG; it is based on the gnupg-1.4
-code and the previous newpg package. It will very soon lead to a
-GnuPG 2.0 release.
-
-You should use this GnuPG version if you want to use the gpg-agent or
-gpgsm (the S/MIME variant of gpg). Note that the gpg-agent is also
-helpful when using the standard gpg version (1.4.x). There are no
-problems installing 1.4 and 1.9 alongside; in fact we suggest to do
-this.
+GnuPG 2.0 is the stable version of GnupG integrating support for
+OpenPGP and S/MIME. It does not conflict with an installed 1.4
+OpenPGP-only version.
