Noteworthy changes in version 1.3.2 (unreleased)
------------------------------------------------
+ * Notation names that do not contain a '@' are no longer allowed
+ unless --expert is set. This is to help prevent pollution of
+ the (as yet unused) IETF notation namespace.
+
+ * Multiple trust models are now supported via the --trust-model
+ option. The options are "openpgp" (web-of-trust plus trust
+ signatures), "classic" (web-of-trust only), and "always"
+ (identical to the --always-trust option).
+
+ * The --personal-{cipher|digest|compression}-preferences are now
+ consulted to get default algorithms before resorting to the
+ last-ditch defaults of --s2k-cipher-algo, SHA1, and ZIP
+ respectively. This allows a user to set algorithms to use in a
+ safe manner so they are used when legal to do so, without
+ forcing them on for all messages.
+
+ * New --primary-keyring option to designate the keyring that the
+ user wants new keys imported into.
+
+ * --s2k-digest-algo is now used for all password mangling.
+ Earlier versions used both --s2k-digest-algo and --digest-algo
+ for passphrase mangling.
+
+ * Handling of --hidden-recipient or --throw-keyid messages is now
+ easier - the user only needs to give their passphrase once, and
+ GnuPG will try it against all of the available secret keys.
+
+ * Care is taken to prevent compiler optimization from removing
+ memory wiping code.
