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. |
