Noteworthy changes in version 1.5.4
-----------------------------------

- Enabled ASLR and DEP features for WinPT/PTD binaries/DLLs.


Noteworthy changes in version 1.5.3
-----------------------------------

- Modernized and new icons.

- Cleanups: Unused code was removed from the core.

- Fixed a race condition that caused crashes in
  the clipboard interface module.


Noteworthy changes in version 1.5.2
-----------------------------------

- The buffer overflow protection caused a "Blue Screen of Death"
 and was therefore removed again.


Noteworthy changes in version 1.5.0
-----------------------------------

- WinPT now requires Windows XP or higher.
  Support for all older versions, especially Win9x, has
  been completely dropped.

- The minimal GnuPG version is now 1.4.11 and the code
  has been adjusted to work with this version.
 
- Most of the legacy functions and old code have been removed.
  WinPT now focuses (again) on its core features.
 
- The Key Manager UI has been polished. For instance, the key
  status (expired, revoked, kair) can now be visually differentiated.
 
- Error handling is now more "user-oriented" and hopefully not
  that distracting any longer.
 
- Extra protection against buffer overflow attacks.

- New translations: Dutch.

- Updated translations: German, Russian.
