[freshmeat.net <no...@fr...>]

Dear freshmeat.net subscriber,

barsnick just announced version 2.0.13 of The GNU Privacy Guard on freshmeat.net.

The changes are as follows:

2048-bit RSA keys are now generated by default. The default hash algorithm
preferences have changed to prefer SHA-256 over SHA-1. Writing of keys to v2
OpenPGP cards was enhanced. Several environment variables are now passed to the
Pinentry to make SCIM work. A '--batch' mode was added to the GPGSM command
'--gen-key' command. Several other enhancements and minor bugs were fixed.

Project description:

GnuPG (the GNU Privacy Guard or GPG) is GNU's tool for secure communication and
data storage. It can be used to encrypt data and to create digital signatures.
It includes an advanced key management facility and is compliant with the
proposed OpenPGP Internet standard as described in RFC2440. As such, it is meant
to be compatible with PGP from NAI, Inc. Because it does not use any patented
algorithms, it can be used without any restrictions.
