+ :PROPERTIES:
+ :CUSTOM_ID: gpgme-1-12-0
+ :END:
+
+The most obviously new point for those reading this guide is this
+section on other new things, but that’s hardly important. Not given
+all the other things which spurred the need for adding this section
+and its subsections.
+
+
+*** New in GPGME 1·12·0
+ :PROPERTIES:
+ :CUSTOM_ID: new-stuff-1-12-0
+ :END:
+
+There have been quite a number of additions to GPGME and the Python
+bindings to it since the last release of GPGME with versions 1.11.0
+and 1.11.1 in April, 2018.
+
+The bullet points of new additiions are:
+
+- an expanded section on [[file:gpgme-python-howto#installation][installing]] and [[file:gpgme-python-howto#snafu][troubleshooting]] the Python
+ bindings.
+- The release of Python 3.7.0; which appears to be working just fine
+ with our bindings, in spite of intermittent reports of problems for
+ many other Python projects with that new release.
+- Python 3.7 has been moved to the head of the specified python
+ versions list in the build process.
+- In order to fix some other issues, there are certain underlying
+ functions which are more exposed through the [[file:gpgme-python-howto#howto-get-context][gpg.Context()]], but
+ ongoing documentation ought to clarify that or otherwise provide the
+ best means of using the bindings. Some additions to =gpg.core= and
+ the =Context()=, however, were intended (see below).
+- Continuing work in identifying and confirming the cause of
+ oft-reported [[file:gpgme-python-howto#snafu-runtime-not-funtime][problems installing the Python bindings on Windows]].
+- GSOC: Google's Surreptitiously Ordered Conscription ... erm ... oh,
+ right; Google's Summer of Code. Though there were two hopeful
+ candidates this year; only one ended up involved with the GnuPG
+ Project directly, the other concentrated on an unrelated third party
+ project with closer ties to one of the GNU/Linux distributions than
+ to the GnuPG Project. Thus the Python bindings benefited from GSOC
+ participant Jacob Adams, who added the key_import function; building
+ on prior work by Tobias Mueller.
+- Several new methods functions were added to the gpg.Context(),
+ including: [[file:gpgme-python-howto#howto-import-key][key_import]], [[file:gpgme-python-howto#howto-export-key][key_export]], [[file:gpgme-python-howto#howto-export-public-key][key_export_minimal]] and
+ [[file:gpgme-python-howto#howto-export-secret-key][key_export_secret]].
+- Importing and exporting examples include versions integrated with
+ Marcel Fest's recently released [[https://github.com/Selfnet/hkp4py][HKP for Python]] module. Some
+ [[file:gpgme-python-howto#hkp4py][additional notes on this module]] are included at the end of the HOWTO.
+- Instructions for dealing with semi-walled garden implementations
+ like ProtonMail are also included. This is intended to make things
+ a little easier when communicating with users of ProtonMail's
+ services and should not be construed as an endorsement of said
+ service. The GnuPG Project neither favours, nor disfavours
+ ProtonMail and the majority of this deals with interacting with the
+ ProtonMail keyserver.
+- Semi-formalised the location where [[file:gpgme-python-howto#draft-editions][draft versions]] of this HOWTO may
+ periodically be accessible. This is both for the reference of
+ others and testing the publishing of the document itself. Renamed
+ this file at around the same time.
+- The Texinfo documentation build configuration has been replicated
+ from the parent project in order to make to maintain consistency
+ with that project (and actually ship with each release).
+- a reStructuredText (=.rst=) version is also generated for Python
+ developers more used to and comfortable with that format as it is
+ the standard Python documentation format and Python developers may
+ wish to use it with Sphinx. Please note that there has been no
+ testing of the reStructuredText version with Sphinx at all. The
+ reST file was generated by the simple expedient of using [[https://pandoc.org/][Pandoc]].
+- Added a new section for [[file:gpgme-python-howto#advanced-use][advanced or experimental use]].
+- Began the advanced use cases with [[file:gpgme-python-howto#cython][a section]] on using the module with
+ [[https://cython.org/][Cython]].
+- Added a number of new scripts to the =example/howto/= directory;
+ some of which may be in advance of their planned sections of the
+ HOWTO (and some are just there because it seemed like a good idea at
+ the time).
+- Cleaned up a lot of things under the hood.
