[Gpg4win-announce] Gpg4win 2.2.0-beta released

[Andre Heinecke]

Hello,

we are pleased to announce the availability of an updated beta version of 
Gpg4win 2.2.0.

The download is available via the usual download page:

        http://www.gpg4win.org/download.html

This version is intended for trying out and testing the furthcoming major 
version 2.2.0 (still scheduled for end of August).

We are also looking for some input on  
http://wiki.gnupg.org/MailClients/Screenshots
If you use a Mail Client with gnupg support it would be great if you code post 
some screenshots how your client handles signed data. Apart from a general 
comparison we are especially interested how your clients handle "non MIME" 
signatures.

This software release incoporated work that was funded by a Small Technology 
Grant of the Information Security Coalition [1].

Major changes since the last beta (beta-34)
-----------------------------------------------------------------

    a portable installation of Gpg4win in the usual variants

 * Outlook 2013 is now supported with the same Basic features available
   in Outlook 2010.
