[SignServer-develop] SignServer 5.2.0.Beta1 pre-release

[Markus K. <mar...@pr...>]

Hi all,

The PrimeKey SignServer team is pleased to announce the release of
SignServer Community 5.2.0.Beta1.

In total 18 tickets have been resolved since SignServer Enterprise 5.1.0
and 58 tickets since the last community version, highlights mentioned below.


New Administration Web

The SignServer Administration GUI (AdminGUI) has been replaced with a
brand new Administration Web interface, previously only available in
SignServer Enterprise.

The improved and modern AdminWeb interface eases deploying SignServer by
allowing using a Web browser for managing administration tasks instead
of the standalone Java desktop application.


PGP Signing Support

In addition to the support of all X.509 based signers, we have now added
support for PGP/GPG signing of software release packages and
repositories, or for general signing.

The new OpenPGP Signer can produce both detached and clear-text
signatures. For step-by-step instructions on configuring and using this
new signer, see
https://doc.primekey.com/signserver/signserver-operations/setting-up-openpgp-signer.
