This is the first production release of the major redesign. Over the last 15 months we did 16 beta releases and hopefully squashed most of the serious bugs. The download is available via the usual download page: http://www.gpg4win.org/download.html Changes ------- Gpg4win2 has major changes compared to Gpg4win 1.x. Below is a list of the most important ones: - Kleopatra is the new certificate manager. Kleopatra is the S/MIME certificate manager of KDE (a desktop environment used on many GNU/Linux systems). For use in Gpg4win it has been extended to support OpenPGP and to act as a graphical user interface for all cryptographic operations. It is automatically started if another component requests its services and then runs permanently in your system tray. WinPT has been dropped. - GpgEX is the new plugin for the Microsoft Explorer and replaces GpgEE. - The mail program Claws Mail has been updated to a modern version. It now supports SSL, NNTP and IMAP. - GpgOL, the plugin for Outlook 2003 and 2007 has been comprehensively updated. It now supports PGP/MIME and thus makes the use of encrypted or signed attachments much easier and standard conform. Support for S/MIME has been added. Most dialogs are now provided by Kleopatra for graphical user dialogs. - The German "Gpg4win-Kompendium" is the new documentation for Gpg4win. This combines the previous "Einsteiger" and "Durchblicker" manuals. All chapters were reworked and extended to describe the new Gpg4win Version 2.0. Among other things, this means adaption to Kleopatra, GpgEX and PGP/MIME and new texts for S/MIME and X.509. - Support of these platforms: Operating System: Windows 2000, XP (32/64), Vista (32/64) Outlook: 2003, 2007 - Included components are: GnuPG: 2.0.12 Kleopatra: 2.0.11-svn1008232 (20090807) GPA: 0.9.0 GpgOL: 1.0.0 GpgEX: 0.9.3 Claws-Mail: 3.7.2 Kompendium: 3.0.0-beta3 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-2.0.0.tar.bz2 (5M) ? gpg4win-2.0.0.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.gpg4win.org/package-integrity.html) The *ready to use installer* is available at: ? http://ftp.gpg4win.org/gpg4win-2.0.0.exe ?(35M) ? http://ftp.gpg4win.org/gpg4win-2.0.0.exe.sig Or using the ftp protocol at: ? ftp://ftp.gpg4win.org/gpg4win/gpg4win-2.0.0.exe ?(35M) ? ftp://ftp.gpg4win.org/gpg4win/gpg4win-2.0.0.exe.sig SHA1 checksums for these files are given below. If you don't need the manuals or the GnuPG2 command line tools for S/MIME, you might alternatively download the "light" version of the installer: ? http://ftp.gpg4win.org/gpg4win-light-2.0.0.exe ?(12M) ? http://ftp.gpg4win.org/gpg4win-light-2.0.0.exe.sig or using FTP at: ? ftp://ftp.gpg4win.org/gpg4win/gpg4win-light-2.0.0.exe (12M) ? ftp://ftp.gpg4win.org/gpg4win/gpg4win-light-2.0.0.exe.sig A separate installer with the source files used to build the above installer is available at: ? ftp://ftp.gpg4win.org/gpg4win/gpg4win-src-2.0.0.exe ?(277M) ? ftp://ftp.gpg4win.org/gpg4win/gpg4win-src-2.0.0.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. SHA1 checksums are: 5a900a6807d2b4753d88cdb9548c528cf4bbbe3e ?gpg4win-2.0.0.exe d00fe78e71a55861a4ccbf92d6e06f4dcbe6aa82 ?gpg4win-light-2.0.0.exe ba6e4c56bc721707e363640e357d87350c441e02 ?gpg4win-src-2.0.0.exe f5457f61c8544cbae856738aabfff1a140c754b6 ?gpg4win-2.0.0.tar.bz2 If you have problems downloading the above files, you may try the mirror server listed at the download page. 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 helped testing Gpg4win.

Message-ID: <490b45f40908290657j28913edcu76e5c475ea9d971d@mail.gmail.com> I first installed the GPG4win-light-2.0 on my computer. When it is generating keys, the window "Enter passphrase" titled by "pinentry.exe" is popuped and it stoped, anything couldn't be inputed. Then I try to installed GPG4win1.0.5. During runing, "The private key you selected as default is no longer available. GPA will try to choose a new default key automatically." is printed, then "The GPGME library returned an unexpected error. The error was: General erro. This is probably a bug in GPA. GPA will now try to recover from this error." was putted out again. My sistem is winXP.
