[Devil-linux-software] The GNU Privacy Guard 1.4.10 has been released [freshmeat.net]

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

Dear freshmeat.net subscriber,

barsnick just announced version 1.4.10 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. 2048 bit DSA keys are now
generated to use a 256 bit hash algorithm. Support for v2 OpenPGP cards was
added. Support for the Camellia cipher (RFC-5581) was implemented. Support for
HKP keyservers over SSL ("HKPS") was added. The algorithm for computing the
SIG_ID status was changed to match the one used in version 2.0.10. File locking
was improved. A memory leak which made imports of many keys very slow was fixed.
Many smaller 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.
