* Adapted from prior submissions by Tobias Mueller and Jacob Adams.
* key_import function added to gpg.core.Context().
* Two example scripts added to to examples/howto: import-key-file.py
imports keys from a local file and import-keys.py accesses the SKS
keyserver pool using the requests module to search for keys
(includes check for key IDs which may not include the leading 0x).
* Added documentation demonstrating the use of the key_import()
function with a large number of keys matching one domain (eff.org;
the example shows how EFF staff are following their own advice
issued last month).
* Added a script which demonstrates how the groups module works.
* Script generates Mutt/Neomutt crypt-hooks for every group entry in
gpg.conf, including those entries for multiple keys (Mutt handles
that differently).
* Fixed the groups.py script so it really does what is described (the
old code had the same result for groups, group_lines and
group_lists).
* Updated the corresponding example in the doc to match.
* Updated the decryption example code in the HOWTO and the
corresponding decrypt-file.py script to gracefully handle a
decryption failure. This error will always be triggered when GPGME
is used to try to decrypt an old, MDC-less encrypted message or
file.
* Script to generate a new key with encryption subkey taking input
from interactive prompts.
* Will also take a passphrase via pinentry and uses passphrase caching
of five minutes when used in conjunction with the temp homedir
script.
* Script to create a temporary gnupg homedir in the user's directory
for testing or scripting purposes.
* Creates a hidden directory on POSIX systems with the correct
permissions (700).
* Creates a gpg.conf in that directory containing the same
configuration options as used in the "Danger Mouse" example in the
HOWTO with the correct permissions (600).
* Temporarily removing multi-key selection based examples.
* There are a few issues with getting the key selections to play
nicely with gpg.Context().keylist object types.
* Will troubleshoot them separately and restore them when that's
worked out, but I don't want these more complicated examples to
delay merging the HOWTO with master.
* Similar to group-key-selection.py, but does not use an existing
group from gpg.conf; instead takes multiple key IDs, fingerprints or
patterns on the command line and adds them to a keylist object.
* Begins to string together some of the simpler examples to do more
useful things.
* Signs and encrypts a file while encrypting to every key in a group
specified in the gpg.conf file.
* Updated usage so it only references importing the final list of
lists produced. Trying to use some of the mid-points can have
unpredictable results (this is part of the problem with work
arounds).
* Similar to encrypt file except for signing a file in normal mode.
* Noticed additional changes to be made to the howto to match this,
but they will have to wait due to a power outage (currently running
on battery and a mobile connection, but that won't last).
* Added groups selection work around code.
* Intended for use as a module to be imported by other scripts,
usually with "from groups import group_lists" or "from groups import
group_lines" or similar.
* Example to sign and encrypt a file.
* Similar to encrypt-file.py except all keys are considered trusted
and signs with the default key.
* Also encrypts to the default key.
* Example to encrypt a file to a single key.
* Takes key ID and/or fpr as a CLI parameter.
* Takes path and filename as a CLI parameter.
* Encrypts to specified key only, no signing and writes the output in
both ASCII armoured and GPG binary formats with output filenames
based on input filename.
* Added the same license as used with the HOWTO.
* Since these examples are so basic, they'll be dual licensed the same
as GPGME itself (otherwise it would slip too dangerously against the
need for permissive licensing of crypto libraries).
* Added reference to location where all the examples included in the
HOWTO will be available as executable scripts.
* Included a short README file in that location.
* Since we don't want to encourage accessing the low level functions
(e.g. op_encrypt), but since this example can still be useful to
understand, renaming it and will add new encryption examples to
match the instructions in the HOWTO.
This follows weeks of discussion on the gnupg-devel mailing list.
Hopefully it will make it easier for people using Python to use GnuPG
in the future.
