Short overview on changes compared to version 1.9.13 BETA:
----------------------------------------------------------
 - Kleopatra:
    * Better error strings and dialog layout for add user id dialog.
    * Remove unused temp dir in uiserver. The socket is created in
      ~/.gnupg nowadays. Leaves temp dirs around on crash, so remove.
    * ImportCertificateCommand: use a short tab title, and put the 
      path of the file from which we imported into the tab's tooltip instead.
    * Fix header resizing in the mainwindow.
    * ownertrust dialog: Disable the OK button until a change has actually 
      been made
    * mainwindow: Hide the tab bar reliably when only one tab is used
    * File->Quit message box: Make "Only Close Window" the default.
    * Add File->Save Icon Usage Log, which we'll ship for the next two 
      releases or so, and then bury again. Helps to determine which of the
      myriad of KDE icons we're actually using.
    * Import certificates: try not to pop up the result message box in 
      the background.
    * Make Kleopatra take 75% less CPU on startup.
    * Various other (gui) optimizations.
    * Update/add new translation strings.
    * Make the timing stuff end up in the kleo_log.

 - GpgOL:
    * Save the crypto settings in a message draft.
    * Unnamed attachments are now shown with a suffix matching
      its MIME type.
    * Pass sender address if encrypt a message (requirement to
      encrypt automatically to yourself; function comes in a
      fututre realease).
    * translations updated

 - Gpg4win Compendium 3.0.0-beta1 reworked

 - Backend and Installer: 
    * Uninstall process improved and start menu entry added.
    * Several minor and medium issues and errors were fixed.
