  * gpgme_wait can return NULL even if hang is true, if an error
    occurs.  In that case *status contains the error code.
 
+ * gpgme_get_engine_info was radically changed.  Instead an XML
+   string, an info structure of the new type GpgmeEngineInfo is
+   returned.  This makes it easier and more robust to evaluate the
+   information in an application.

+ * The new function gpgme_get_protocol_name can be used to convert a
+   GpgmeProtocol value into a string.
