Noteworthy changes in version 0.4.1 (unreleased)
------------------------------------------------
* GPGME_ATTR_IS_SECRET is not anymore representable as a string.
* 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.
* GpgmeIOCb changed from a void function to a function returning a
GpgmeError 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 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.
* The GpgmePassphraseCb type now returns a GpgmeError value, and
returns the password string in a new parameter. The gpgme_cancel
function has been removed, just return GPGME_Canceled in the
passphrase callback directly.
* 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 GpgmeGenKeyResult
pointer to a structure which contains the fingerprint. This also
works with gpgme_op_genkey. 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:
GpgmeGenKeyResult result;
err = gpgme_op_genkey (ctx, NULL, NULL);
if (!err)
{
result = gpgme_op_genkey_result (ctx);
if (result->fpr)
printf ("%s\n", result->fpr);
}

* 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)
------------------------------------------------

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

------------------------------------------------
* 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.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
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 <version> tag
after the appropriate <protocol> 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.
Noteworthy changes in version 0.2.2 (2001-06-12)
------------------------------------------------
* Implemented a key cache.
* Fixed a race condition under W32 and some other bug fixes.
Noteworthy changes in version 0.2.1 (2001-04-02)
------------------------------------------------
* Changed debug output and GPGME_DEBUG variable (gpgme/debug.c)
* Handle GnuPG's new key capabilities output and support revocation
et al. attributes
* Made the W32 support more robust.
