From wk at gnupg.org Wed Aug 2 10:08:56 2006 From: wk at gnupg.org (Werner Koch) Date: Wed, 02 Aug 2006 10:08:56 +0200 Subject: [Gpg4win-announce] Gpg4win 1.0.5 released (security fix) Message-ID: <874pwvtv8n.fsf@wheatstone.g10code.de> Hi! We are pleased to announce the availibility of Gpg4win, version 1.0.5. * This version contains a security fix for the GnuPG component. *Updating to this version is strongly recommended*. * Please also make sure to subscribe to the new gpg4win announcement mailing list. We might stop in the future to cross post announcements to the general GnuPG annoucement list. See: http://lists.wald.intevation.org/mailman/listinfo/gpg4win-announce About Gpg4win ------------- The Gpg4win project aims at updating the Gpg4win Windows installation package with GnuPG encryption tool, associated applications and documentation on a regular basis. Especially the documentation (handbooks "Einsteiger" and "Durchblicker") are directly maintained as part of the gpg4win project. It is an international project. Due to the origin of the project the German language is fully supported. As of now the the handbooks are only available in German. People helping with translations are very welcome! The main difference compared to all other similar approaches (mainly GnuPP, GnuPT, Windows Privacy Tools and GnuPG-Basics) is that the first thing developed was the *gpg4win-Builder*. This builder allows to easily create new gpg4win.exe installers with updated components. The builder runs on any decent Unix system, preferable Debian GNU/Linux. Almost all products are automatically cross-compiled for integration into the installer. With this concept it is hoped to *prevent quick aging of the* *installer package*. This is due to easier updating and less dependancy on single developers. Noteworthy changes in version 1.0.5 (2006-08-02) ------------------------------------------------ * Fixed another security related bug in GnuPG. * Included components are: GnuPG: 1.4.5 [*] WinPT: 0.12.3 GPA: 0.7.4 GPGol: 0.9.10 GPGee: 1.3.1 Sylpheed-Claws: 2.3.1 Einsteiger: 2.0.2 Durchblicker: 2.0.2 (Marked packages are updated since the last release) Installation ------------ For installation instructions, please visit http://www.gpg4win.org or read on. Developers who want to *build an installer* need to get the following files from http://wald.intevation.org/projects/gpg4win/ : gpg4win-1.0.5.tar.bz2 (3.9M) gpg4win-1.0.5.tar.bz2.sig The second file is a digital signature of the the first file. Either check that this signature is fine or compare with the checksums given below. (see also http://www.gnupg.org/download/integrity_check.html) The *ready to use installer* is available at: http://ftp.gpg4win.org/gpg4win-1.0.5.exe (6.2M) http://ftp.gpg4win.org/gpg4win-1.0.5.exe.sig Or using the ftp protocol at: ftp://ftp.gpg4win.org/gpg4win/gpg4win-1.0.5.exe (6.2M) ftp://ftp.gpg4win.org/gpg4win/gpg4win-1.0.5.exe.sig SHA1 and MD5 checksums for these files are given below. If you don't need the German PDF manuals, you might alternatively download the "light" version of the installer: http://ftp.gpg4win.org/gpg4win-light-1.0.5.exe (4.6M) http://ftp.gpg4win.org/gpg4win-light-1.0.5.exe.sig or using the ftp protocol at: ftp://ftp.gpg4win.org/gpg4win/gpg4win-1.0.5.exe (4.6M) ftp://ftp.gpg4win.org/gpg4win/gpg4win-1.0.5.exe.sig A separate installer with the the sources used to build the above installer is available at: ftp://ftp.gpg4win.org/gpg4win/gpg4win-src-1.0.5.exe (41M) ftp://ftp.gpg4win.org/gpg4win/gpg4win-src-1.0.5.exe.sig Most people don't need this source installer; it is merely stored on that server to satisfy the conditions of the GPL. In general it is better to get the gpg4win builder tarball (see above) and follow the instructions in the README to build new installers; building the installer is not possible on Windows machines and works best on current Debian GNU/Linux systems (we use the mingw32 package from Sid). SHA1 checksums are: 2f33cc305fec2a054d0669e559b8c802db1da105 gpg4win-1.0.5.tar.bz2 a72ea3747dcf789c27f98565cd95d5ffd467000a gpg4win-1.0.5.exe 138a7ba8efeb70552594df1c81839ae70fda291e gpg4win-light-1.0.5.exe 1e03125a5a8c3984b4fe2bc4b99d89d2aaf5f4de gpg4win-src-1.0.5.exe MD5 checksums are: 1d9df4916d53d1568e1207a0000be145 gpg4win-1.0.5.tar.bz2 2dd762f4284fc69643d280f41da7a1a0 gpg4win-1.0.5.exe e32f8ca4707a5c98fcd998c534e2938d gpg4win-light-1.0.5.exe 4a187db7c3d94dfd6b6fc55b0c586f4c gpg4win-src-1.0.5.exe We like to thank the authors of the included packages, the NSIS authors, all other contributors and first of all, those folks who stayed with us and tested the early releases of gpg4win.
