From wk at gnupg.org Fri Oct 13 11:44:50 2006 From: wk at gnupg.org (Werner Koch) Date: Fri, 13 Oct 2006 11:44:50 +0200 Subject: [Gpg4win-announce] Gpg4win 1.0.7 released Message-ID: <87d58wy2gd.fsf@wheatstone.g10code.de> Hi! We are pleased to announce the availibility of Gpg4win, version 1.0.7. * This version updates WinPT and fixes a crash in GPGol. 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 1.0.7 (2006-10-13) ------------------------------------------------ * Packaged new versions of GPGol and WinPT. * Fixed a bug while decrypting certain compressed and encrypted messages. * Fixed a crash in GPGol. * Included components are: GnuPG: 1.4.5 [*] WinPT: 1.0.1 [*] GPA: 0.7.4 GPGol: 0.9.91 [*] GPGee: 1.3.1 Sylpheed-Claws: 2.4.0 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-1.0.7.tar.bz2 (4.1M) gpg4win-1.0.7.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-1.0.7.exe (6.4M) http://ftp.gpg4win.org/gpg4win-1.0.7.exe.sig Or using the ftp protocol at: ftp://ftp.gpg4win.org/gpg4win/gpg4win-1.0.7.exe (6.4M) ftp://ftp.gpg4win.org/gpg4win/gpg4win-1.0.7.exe.sig SHA1 and MD5 checksums for these files are given below. If you don't need the manuals, you might alternatively download the "light" version of the installer: http://ftp.gpg4win.org/gpg4win-light-1.0.7.exe (4.7M) http://ftp.gpg4win.org/gpg4win-light-1.0.7.exe.sig or using FTP at: ftp://ftp.gpg4win.org/gpg4win/gpg4win-1.0.7.exe (4.7M) ftp://ftp.gpg4win.org/gpg4win/gpg4win-1.0.7.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-1.0.7.exe (43M) ftp://ftp.gpg4win.org/gpg4win/gpg4win-src-1.0.7.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: 53feee3425356378cd97480be64a06bea5a1a0a1 gpg4win-1.0.7.exe 7192be4c211d7909959cfc00aa655f8cf05bfc3c gpg4win-light-1.0.7.exe 59cf3fce60f3cc004ff3598950ed1b44c0935117 gpg4win-src-1.0.7.exe 6366e786ea08f03f8a554049259779d92df35352 gpg4win-1.0.7.tar.bz2 MD5 checksums are: 6e235c4cccfe8462384abe5d8d534ec9 gpg4win-1.0.7.exe abfd356562df9ea10e24aa661dd775f7 gpg4win-light-1.0.7.exe 3eedbacedb1c9e231d0fcbb72f0cefc1 gpg4win-src-1.0.7.exe 0368d0d18b3ff0c6ab2693e59d506e2e gpg4win-1.0.7.tar.bz2 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.
