Noteworthy changes in version 0.4.1 (unreleased) ------------------------------------------------ This is the release that 0.4.0 should have been. There are many interface changes, please see below for the details. The changes are sometimes the result of new functionality, but more often express a paradigm shift. Others are an overdue cleanup to get GPGME in line with the GNU coding standards and to make the interface more self-consistent. Here is an overview on the changes: All types have been renamed to conform to the GNU coding standards, most of the time by keeping the whole name in lowercase and insert underscores between words. All operations consistently only accept input parameters in their invocation function, and return only an error code directly. Further information about the result of the operation has to be retrieved afterwards by calling one of the result functions. This unifies the synchronous and the asynchronous interface. The results of all operations are now provided by pointers to C structs rather than by XML structs or in other ways. Objects which used to be opaque (for example a key) are now pointers to accessible structs, so no accessor functions are necessary. Backward compatibility is provided where it was possible without too much effort and did not collide with the overall sanitization effort. However, it is recommended to update to the new interfaces soon, so the compatibility interfaces can be phased out quickly. Recommendations how to replace deprecated or removed functionality can be found within the description of each change. What follows are all changes to the interface and behaviour of GPGME in detail. * If gpgme.h is included in sources compiled by GCC 3.1 or later, deprecated attributes will warn about use of obsolete functions and typedefs. The use of obsolete error values will appear as the use of an obsolete type _gpgme_deprecated_error_t. You can suppress these warnings by passing -Wno-deprecated-declarations to the gcc command. * The following types have been renamed. The old types are still available as aliases, but they are deprecated now: Old name: New name: GpgmeCtx gpgme_ctx_t GpgmeData gpgme_data_t GpgmeError gpgme_error_t GpgmeDataEncoding gpgme_data_encoding_t GpgmeSigStat gpgme_sig_stat_t GpgmeSigMode gpgme_sig_mode_t GpgmeAttr gpgme_attr_t GpgmeValidity gpgme_validity_t GpgmeProtocol gpgme_protocol_t GpgmeKey gpgme_key_t GpgmePassphraseCb gpgme_passphrase_cb_t GpgmeProgressCb gpgme_progress_cb_t GpgmeIOCb gpgme_io_cb_t GpgmeRegisterIOCb gpgme_register_io_cb_t GpgmeRemoveIOCb gpgme_remove_io_cb_t GpgmeEventIO gpgme_event_io_t GpgmeEventIOCb gpgme_event_io_cb_t GpgmeIOCbs gpgme_io_cbs GpgmeDataReadCb gpgme_data_read_cb_t GpgmeDataWriteCb gpgme_data_write_cb_t GpgmeDataSeekCb gpgme_data_seek_cb_t GpgmeDataReleaseCb gpgme_data_release_cb_t GpgmeDataCbs gpgme_data_cbs_t GpgmeTrustItem gpgme_trust_item_t GpgmeStatusCode gpgme_status_code_t * GPGME_ATTR_IS_SECRET is not anymore representable as a string. * GnuPG 1.2.2 is required. The progress callback is now also invoked for encrypt, sign, encrypt-sign, decrypt, verify, and decrypt-verify operations. For verify operations on detached signatures, the progress callback is invoked for both the detached signature and the plaintext message, though. * gpgme_passphrase_cb_t has been changed to not provide a complete description, but the UID hint, passphrase info and a flag indicating if this is a repeated attempt individually, so the user can compose his own description from this information. The passphrase is not returned as a C string, but must be written to a file descriptor directly. This allows for secure passphrase entries. The return type has been changed to gpgme_error_t value. This allowed to remove the gpgme_cancel function; just return GPGME_Canceled in the passphrase callback directly. * gpgme_edit_cb_t has been changed to take a file descriptor argument. The user is expected to write the response to the file descriptor, followed by a newline. * The recipients interface has been removed and replaced by a more generic and light gpgme_user_ids_* interface, which only provides two functions: gpgme_user_ids_append adds a new user ID at the end of the linked list, and gpgme_user_ids_release releases all user IDs in the linked list. The resulting user ID object is free for the user to change (note however that gpgme_user_ids_release only releases resources allocated by GPGME). This change propagates to the prototypes of gpgme_op_encrypt, gpgme_op_encrypt_start, gpgme_op_encrypt_sign and gpgme_op_encrypt_sign_start. Also the prototypes of gpgme_op_export_start and gpgme_op_export finally make sense. Here is an example how to use the new interface: gpgme_user_id_t rset = NULL; gpgme_user_id_t *rset_lastp = &rset; err = gpgme_user_ids_append (rset_lastp, "Alpha"); fail_if_err (err); (*rset_lastp)->validity = GPGME_VALIDITY_FULL; rset_lastp = &(*rset_lastp)->next; err = gpgme_user_ids_append (rset_lastp, "Bob"); fail_if_err (err); (*rset_lastp)->validity = GPGME_VALIDITY_FULL; [...] gpgme_user_ids_release (rset); * gpgme_op_verify and gpgme_op_decrypt_verify don't return a status summary anymore. Use gpgme_get_sig_status to retrieve the individual stati. * gpgme_io_cb_t changed from a void function to a function returning a gpgme_error_t value. However, it will always return 0, so you can safely ignore the return value. * A new I/O callback event GPGME_EVENT_START has been added. The new requirement is that you must wait until this event until you are allowed to call the I/O callback handlers previously registered for this context operation. Calling I/O callback functions for this context operation before the start event happened is unsafe because it can lead to race conditions in a multi-threaded environment. * The idle function feature has been removed. It was not precisely defined in a multi-threaded environment and is obsoleted by the user I/O callback functions. If you still need a simple way to call something while waiting on one or multiple asynchronous operations to complete, don't set the HANG flag in gpgme_wait (note that this will return to your program more often than the idle function did). * 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 gpgme_engine_info_t 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 gpgme_protocol_t value into a string. * The status of a context operation is not checked anymore, so the errors GPGME_Busy and GPGME_No_Request can not occur anymore. * For clarity and better reusability, the error codes GPGME_No_Recipients, GPGME_Invalid_Recipient and GPGME_No_Passphrase have been renamed to GPGME_No_UserID, GPGME_Invalid_UserID and GPGME_Bad_Passphrase resp. * The FPR argument to gpgme_op_genkey was removed. Instead, use the gpgme_op_genkey_result function to retrieve a gpgme_genkey_result_t pointer to a structure which contains the fingerprint. This also works with gpgme_op_genkey_start. The structure also provides other information about the generated keys. So, instead: char *fpr; err = gpgme_op_genkey (ctx, NULL, NULL, &fpr); if (!err && fpr) printf ("%s\n", fpr); you should now do: gpgme_genkey_result_t result; err = gpgme_op_genkey (ctx, NULL, NULL); if (!err) { result = gpgme_op_genkey_result (ctx); if (result->fpr) printf ("%s\n", result->fpr); } * The new gpgme_op_import_result function provides detailed information about the result of an import operation in gpgme_import_result_t and gpgme_import_status_t objects. Thus, the gpgme_op_import_ext variant is deprecated. * The new gpgme_op_sign_result function provides detailed information about the result of a signing operation in gpgme_sign_result_t, gpgme_invalid_user_id_t and gpgme_new_signature_t objects. * The new gpgme_op_encrypt_result function provides detailed information about the result of an encryption operation in a GpgmeEncryptResult object. * The new gpgme_op_decrypt_result function provides detailed information about the result of a decryption operation in a GpgmeDecryptResult object. * The new gpgme_op_verify_result function provides detailed information about the result of an verify operation in a GpgmeVerifyResult object. Because of this, the GPGME_SIG_STAT_* values, gpgme_get_sig_status, gpgme_get_sig_ulong_attr, gpgme_get_sig_string_attr and gpgme_get_sig_key are now deprecated, and gpgme_get_notation is removed. * GpgmeTrustItem objects have now directly accessible data, so the gpgme_trust_item_get_string_attr and gpgme_trust_item_get_ulong_attr accessor functions are deprecated. Also, reference counting is available through gpgme_trust_item_ref and gpgme_trust_item_unref (the gpgme_trust_item_release alias for the latter is deprecated). * Keys are not cached internally anymore, so the force_update argument to gpgme_get_key has been removed. * GpgmeKey objects have now directly accessible data so the gpgme_key_get_string_attr, gpgme_key_get_ulong_attr, gpgme_key_sig_get_string_attr and gpgme_key_sig_get_ulong_attr functions are deprecated. Also, gpgme_key_release is now deprecated. The gpgme_key_get_as_xml function has been dropped. * Because all interfaces using attributes are deprecated, the GpgmeAttr data type is also deprecated. * The new gpgme_op_keylist_result function provides detailed information about the result of a key listing operation in a GpgmeKeyListResult object. * Now that each function comes with its own result retrieval interface, the generic gpgme_get_op_info interface is not useful anymore and dropped. * The error values GPGME_Invalid_Type and GPGME_Invalid_Mode can not occur anymore and are thus deprecated. * Interface changes relative to the 0.4.0 release: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ GpgmeCtx DEPRECATED: Use gpgme_ctx_t.

Noteworthy changes in version 0.3.14 (2002-12-04) ------------------------------------------------- * GPGME-Plug is now in its own package "cryptplug". * Workaround for a setlocale problem. Fixed a segv related to not correctly as closed marked file descriptors. Noteworthy changes in version 0.3.13 (2002-11-20) ------------------------------------------------- * Release due to changes in gpgmeplug. Noteworthy changes in version 0.3.12 (2002-10-15) ------------------------------------------------- * Fixed some bux with key listings. * The development has been branched to clean up some API issues. This 0.3 series will be kept for compatibility reasons; so do don't expect new features. Noteworthy changes in version 0.3.11 (2002-09-20) ------------------------------------------------- * Bug fixes. Noteworthy changes in version 0.3.10 (2002-09-02) ------------------------------------------------- * Setting the signing keys for the CMS protocol does now work. * The signers setting is honoured by gpgme_op_edit. Noteworthy changes in version 0.3.9 (2002-08-21) ------------------------------------------------ * A spec file for creating RPMs has been added. * An experimental interface to GnuPG's --edit-key functionality is introduced, see gpgme_op_edit. * The new gpgme_import_ext function provides a convenient access to the number of processed keys. * Interface changes relative to the 0.3.8 release: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ GpgmeStatusCode NEW GpgmeEditCb NEW gpgme_op_edit_start NEW gpgme_op_edit NEW gpgme_op_import_ext NEW ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Noteworthy changes in version 0.3.8 (2002-06-25) ------------------------------------------------ * It is possible to use an outside event loop for the I/O to the crypto engine by setting the I/O callbacks with gpgme_set_io_cbs. * Interface changes relative to the 0.3.6 release: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ GpgmeIOCb NEW GpgmeRegisterIOCb NEW GpgmeRemoveIOCb NEW GpgmeEventIO NEW GpgmeEventIOCb NEW struct GpgmeIOCbs NEW gpgme_set_io_cbs NEW gpgme_get_io_cbs NEW GPGME_ATTR_ERRTOK NEW ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Noteworthy changes in version 0.3.7 (2002-06-04) ------------------------------------------------ * GPGME_ATTR_OTRUST is implemented now. * A first step toward thread safeness has been achieved, see the documentation for details. Supported thread libraries are pthread and Pth. Noteworthy changes in version 0.3.6 (2002-05-03) ------------------------------------------------ * All error output of the gpgsm backend is send to the bit bucket. * The signature verification functions are extended. Instead of always returning GPGME_SIG_STATUS_GOOD, the functions new codes for expired signatures. 2 new functions may be used to retrieve more detailed information like the signature expiration time and a validity information of the key without an extra key looking. * The current passphrase callback and progress meter callback can be retrieved with the new functions gpgme_get_passphrase_cb and gpgme_get_progress_cb respectively. * Interface changes relative to the 0.3.5 release: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ gpgme_get_passphrase_cb NEW gpgme_get_progress_cb NEW GpgmeDataEncoding NEW gpgme_data_set_encoding NEW gpgme_data_get_encoding NEW GPGME_SIG_STAT_GOOD_EXP NEW GPGME_SIG_STAT_GOOD_EXPKEY NEW gpgme_op_verify CHANGED: Returns more status codes. GPGME_ATTR_SIG_STATUS NEW gpgme_get_sig_string_attr NEW gpgme_get_sig_ulong_attr NEW gpgme_get_protocol NEW ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Noteworthy changes in version 0.3.5 (2002-04-01) ------------------------------------------------ * gpgme_op_encrypt can be called with RECIPIENTS being 0. In this case, symmetric encryption is performed. Note that this requires a passphrase from the user. * More information is returned for X.509 certificates. * Interface changes relative to the 0.3.4 release: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ gpgme_op_encrypt EXTENDED: Symmetric encryption possible ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Noteworthy changes in version 0.3.4 (2002-03-04) ------------------------------------------------ * gpgme_op_encrypt does now fail with GPGME_Invalid_Recipients if some recipients have been invalid, whereas earlier versions succeeded in this case. The plaintext is still encrypted for all valid recipients, so the application might take this error as a hint that the ciphertext is not usable for all requested recipients. Information about invalid recipients is available with gpgme_get_op_info. * gpgme_op_verify now allows to pass an uninitialized data object as its plaintext argument to check for normal and cleartext signatures. The plaintext is then returned in the data object. * New interfaces gpgme_set_include_certs and gpgme_get_include_certs to set and get the number of certifications to include in S/MIME signed messages. * New interfaces gpgme_op_encrypt_sign and gpgme_op_encrypt_sign_start to encrypt and sign a message in a combined operation. * New interface gpgme_op_keylist_ext_start to search for multiple patterns. * gpgme_key_get_ulong_attr supports the GPGME_ATTR_EXPIRE attribute. * Interface changes relative to the 0.3.3 release: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ gpgme_op_encrypt CHANGED: Can fail with GPGME_Invalid_Recipients gpgme_op_verify EXTENDED: Accepts uninitialized text argument gpgme_key_get_ulong_attr EXTENDED: Supports GPGME_ATTR_EXPIRE gpgme_set_include_certs NEW gpgme_get_include_certs NEW gpgme_op_encrypt_sign NEW gpgme_op_encrypt_sign_start NEW gpgme_op_keylist_ext_start NEW ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Noteworthy changes in version 0.3.3 (2002-02-12) ------------------------------------------------ * Fix the Makefile in jnlib. * Fix the test suite (hopefully). It should clean up all its state with `make check' now. Noteworthy changes in version 0.3.2 (2002-02-10) ------------------------------------------------ * Remove erroneous dependency on libgcrypt in jnlib. Noteworthy changes in version 0.3.1 (2002-02-09) ------------------------------------------------ * There is a Texinfo manual documenting the API. * The gpgme_set_keylist_mode function returns an error, and changed its meaning. It is no longer usable to select between normal and fast mode (newer versions of GnuPG will always be fast), but selects between local keyring, remote keyserver, or both. For this, two new macros are defined, GPGME_KEYLIST_MODE_LOCAL and GPGME_KEYLIST_MODE_EXTERN. To make it possible to modify the current setting, a fucntion gpgme_get_keylist_mode was added to retrieve the current mode. * gpgme_wait accepts a new argument STATUS to return the error status of the operation on the context. Its definition is closer to waitpid() now than before. * The LENGTH argument to gpgme_data_new_from_filepart changed its type from off_t to the unsigned size_t. * The R_HD argument to the GpgmePassphraseCb type changed its type from void* to void**. * New interface gpgme_op_trustlist_end() to match gpgme_op_keylist_end(). * The CryptPlug modules have been renamed to gpgme-openpgp and gpgme-smime, and they are installed in pkglibdir by `make install'. * An idle function can be registered with gpgme_register_idle(). * The GpgSM backend supports key generation with gpgme_op_genkey(). * Interface changes relative to the 0.3.0 release: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ gpgme_data_new_from_filepart CHANGED: Type of LENGTH is size_t. GpgmePassphraseCb CHANGED: Type of R_HD is void **. gpgme_wait CHANGED: New argument STATUS. gpgme_set_keylist_mode CHANGED: Type of return value is GpgmeError. The function has a new meaning! gpgme_get_keylist_mode NEW GPGME_KEYLIST_MODE_LOCAL NEW GPGME_KEYLIST_MODE_EXTERN NEW gpgme_op_trustlist_next NEW GpgmeIdleFunc NEW gpgme_register_idle NEW ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Noteworthy changes in version 0.3.0 (2001-12-19) ------------------------------------------------ * New interface gpgme_set_protocol() to set the protocol and thus the crypto engine to be used by the context. Currently, the OpenPGP and the CMS protocols are supported. They are specified by the new preprocessor symbols GPGME_PROTOCOL_OpenPGP and GPGME_PROTOCOL_CMS. A new context uses the OpenPGP engine by default. * gpgme_get_engine_info() returns information for all crypto engines compiled into the library. The XML format has changed. To reliably get the version of a crypto engine, the tag after the appropriate tag has to be looked for. * New interface gpgme_engine_check_version(), obsoleting gpgme_check_engine(). Check the version of all engines you are supporting in your software. * GpgmeKey lists the user ids in the order as they are returned by GnuPG, first the primary key with index 0, then the sub-user ids. * New operation gpgme_op_decrypt_verify() to decrypt and verify signatures simultaneously. * The new interface gpgme_op_keylist_end() terminates a pending keylist operation. A keylist operation is also terminated when gpgme_op_keylist_next() returns GPGME_EOF. * GPGME can be compiled without GnuPG being installed (`--with-gpg=PATH'), cross-compiled, or even compiled without support for GnuPG (`--without-gpg'). * GPGME can be compiled with support for GpgSM (GnuPG for S/MIME, `--with-gpgsm=PATH'). It is enabled by default if the `gpgsm' is found in the path, but it can also be compiled without support for GpgSM (`--without-gpgsm'). * CryptPlug modules for GPGME are included and can be enabled at configure time (`--enable-gpgmeplug'). There is one module which uses the GnuPG engine (`gpgmeplug') and one module which uses the GpgSM engine (`gpgsmplug'). * Interface changes relative to the latest 0.2.x release: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ gpgme_key_get_as_xml CHANGED: Sub-user ids reversed in order. gpgme_key_get_string_attr CHANGED: User ids reversed in order. gpgme_key_get_ulong_attr CHANGED: User ids reversed in order. gpgme_get_engine_info CHANGED: New format, extended content. gpgme_engine_check_version NEW gpgme_decrypt_verify_start NEW gpgme_decrypt_verify NEW gpgme_op_keylist_next NEW gpgme_set_protocol NEW ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Noteworthy changes in version 0.2.3 (2001-09-17) ------------------------------------------------ * New function gpgme_get_op_info which can be used to get the micalg parameter needed for MOSS. * New functions gpgme_get_armor and gpgme_get_textmode. * The usual bug fixes and some minor functionality improvements. * Added a simple encryption component for MS-Windows; however the build procedure might have some problems.
