1 Noteworthy changes in version 0.9.x (2003-10-20)
2 ------------------------------------------------
3
4 (0.9.0)
5 * Support to verify data which was signed by more than one secret key.
6 This means the verify dialog supports multiple signatures.
7 * Now the proxy support even works when the host name has a HTTP prefix.
8 * Key generation wizard to allow newbie user to create a key pair without
9 any knowledge about cryptography.
10 * Disallow 8-bit characters in passphrases to avoid problems.
11 * Support for the edit-key command "primary".
12 * The refresh command now only shows errors and not a status box for
13 each received key.
14 * Improved system to check if the program has write access to the
15 keyring where appropriate.
16 * Better code to check the minimum GPG version. Together with a more
17 informative error description.
18 * Several GPGME improvements. In other words, WinPT now can use several
19 new features that come along with GPG. A disadvantage is, that now
20 GPG 1.2.3 or higher is required.
21 * New backup system for keyrings.
22 * Some hotkeys were swapped in the past, this should be fixed now.
23 * Support for new features in GPG 1.3.x.
24 * Progress bar dialog for GPG operations.
25 * GPG smart card support (currently only the OpenPGP card).
26 * Card status overview
27 * Ability to change some card attributes (name, sex, lang, url).
28 * Setup reader driver via an easy to use dialog.
29 * Change the various card pins.
30 Transparent interface because there is no difference in using cards
31 or secret keys stored on disk.
32
33 (0.9.1)
34 * Improved GPG logging scheme. If there is no error description for
35 the current problem, display the GPG console output.
36 * Improved card support.
37 * Removed all support for ElGamal Sign+Encrypt keys and warn the user
38 if there exist one or more keys in the keyring.
39 * MAPI support to send public keys.

43 * Some minor bug fixes for the MAPI interface.
44 * A lot of smaller bug fixes in the GPG interface.
45 * A toolbar for the key manager and other UI improvments.
46 * Fixes for the smart card support. Key generation should
47 now work again and the configuration is much easier now.
48 Allow to change the pin of the card again.
49 * Better MAPI integration. A small front-end is provided to
50 send encrypted mails directly. And this tool also protects
51 the attachments.
52 * Improvments for the user interface, especially the key manager.
53 Now it has a tool bar to access the most frequently used items.
54 And the windows are really centered.
55
