+Noteworthy changes in version 2.1.17 (2016-12-20)
-------------------------------------------------
+ * gpg: By default new keys expire after 2 years.
+
+ * gpg: New command --quick-set-expire to conveniently change the
+ expiration date of keys.
+
+ * gpg: Option and command names have been changed for easier
+ comprehension. The old names are still available as aliases.
+
+ * gpg: Improved the TOFU trust model.
+
* gpg: New option --default-new-key-algo.
+ * scd: Support OpenPGP card V3 for RSA.
+
+ * dirmngr: Support for the ADNS library has been removed. Instead
+ William Ahern's Libdns is now source included and used on all
+ platforms. This enables Tor support on all platforms. The new
+ option --standard-resolver can be used to disable this code at
+ runtime. In case of build problems the new configure option
+ --disable-libdns can be used to build without Libdns.
+
+ * dirmngr: Lazily launch ldap reaper thread.
+
+ * tools: New options --check and --status-fd for gpg-wks-client.
+
+ * The UTF-8 byte order mark is now skipped when reading conf files.
+
+ * Fixed many bugs and regressions.
+
+ * Major improvements to the test suite. For example it is possible
+ to run the external test suite of GPGME.
