+Important Hints for Using Gpg4win 1.9-BETA
+##########################################
+
+Status: Gpg4win-1.9.0 (20080423)
+
+This text covers information that are
+intended to help judging whether Gpg4win 1.9
+is already sufficient for your individual needs
+or you better wait for a first beta-test.
+
+Furthermore, this text lays out the new functionality
+of Gpg4win 2.0. The 1.9.X releases represent the
+beta-cycle. Once this cycle is finished, version
+2.0 will be released.
+
+Feedback welcome!
+ Please let us know whether your tests of Gpg4win 1.9
+ were successful or whether (and which) problems
+ occured.
+ We encourage you to subscribe to the english
+ users mailing list. Submit your reports there
+ or read the reports of other users:
+
+ http://lists.wald.intevation.org/mailman/listinfo/gpg4win-users-en
+
+
+Important hints for present version
+===================================
+
+- Firewall problems:
+ In case you are running a very strict firewall,
+ you might run into problems because Kleopatra
+ communicates with the other componentes via
+ a so-called port a "localhost".
+ Switching off the respective rule should help.
+
+- Installation package almost 40 MByte:
+ The tools curently contain comprehensive debug information.
+ This helps to analyse problems as they occur.
+ For version 2.0 this debug information will be skipped
+ and the installation package is expected to shrink
+ to 10 MByte or even less.
+
+- Manuals not updated:
+ The manuals "Gpg4win for Novices" and "Gpg4win für Durchblicker"
+ are not updated to the new tools yet.
+ However, the manuals that are installed with the 1.9 version
+ are more advanced than the downloadable version 2.0.2 of the manuals.
+
+- Encrypt to self:
+ It is highly recommended to configure your certificates for
+ OpenPGP and S/MIME so that emails are always also encrypted
+ for yourself.
+ For this, enter the GnuPG configuration dialog of Kleopatra
+ and insert the fingerprints of your certificates for
+ "GPG for S/MIME: encrypt to user ID NAME as well" and
+ "GPG for OpenPGP: encrypt to user ID NAME as well".
+
+- Using the Outlook Plugin "GpgOL":
+
+ * You defintely should create copies of your old
+ encrypted/signed emails, e.g. in the form of PST files.
+
+ * Encrypted E-Mails occuring decrypted on Server:
+ It can happend that encrypted emails will be copied
+ to your email server in decrypted form.
+ Affected are the so-called email bodies while
+ this will not happen for attachments.
+ Switching off the Outlook Preview will lower
+ the probability of this to happen.
+
+ * Emails will be stored on the server in Microsoft specific
+ forma and thus not be readable via other email programs.
+
+
+Important hints for using S/MIME
+================================
+
+The email encryption method S/MIME is added for
+Gpg4win 2.0.
+
+It is recommended to make yourself familiar with
+the concept of S/MIME before using it.
+
+Configuration of S/MIME:
+For making S/MIME ready to work, you need to follow
+these steps.
+
+- Enable S/MIME for GpgOL:
+ In Outlook menu Extras->Options, tab "GpgOL"
+ you have to explicitely enable S/MIME support.
+ Please consider the warning dialog seriously.
+
+- Create new S/MIME key:
+ The creation of a *new* S/MIME key is
+ not yet fully implemented Kleopatra.
+
+- Import secret S/MIME key:
+ The personal secret key can be imported as P12 file
+ via Kleopatra (menu File->Import certificates)
+
+- Import S/MIME certificate chain for personal key:
+ The certificate chain the belongs to your secret key
+ is to be imported as P7C file (other suffixes for
+ such files do occur as well).
+ Simply use the same menu item as for P12 import.
+ Typically the chain consists of a root certificate,
+ a CA certificate and your personal certificate.
+
+- Import S/MIME certificate of email receipient:
+ Now import the certificates of your email receipients
+ in the same way, ideally also always including the
+ complete chain.
+
+- Mark root certifactes as trusted:
+ If you activate "Gpg Agent: allow clients
+ to mark keys as trusted" in the GnuPG Backend configuration
+ reachable via Kleopatra menu, then you will be asked
+ whether you want to trust a root certificate at the moment
+ of use.
+ Please note that you need to restart gpg-agent to
+ get the configuration change into effect.
+ This is done e.g. by logging out an in again.
+
+- Mark root certificates as trusted for DirMngr:
+ Place the respective root certificates as DER files
+ (with filename suffix ".crt" into the directory
+ %INSTALL_DIR%\etc\dirmngr\trusted-certs\
+
+- Problems with certificate revocation lists (CRLs):
+ The S/MIME concept considers the use of recocation lists
+ to check validity of a certificate.
+
+ This check may fail due to various probelems which do not
+ all result in a helpul error report yet.
+
+ In case that a S/MIME operation does not work as expected,
+ you may switch of CRL checks temporarily and try again whether the
+ operation works now.
+ If so, please report your obervation to the Gpg4win development
+ team or the users mailing list.
+
+ CRL checks are switched this way:
+ Activate "GPG for S/MIME: never consult a CRL" in
+ "Configure GnuPG Backend" dialog of Kleopatra.
+ Then log out and in again to activate your change.
+
+
+Migration
+=========
+
+* From an older Gpg4win 1.9 Version:
+
+ If there was an older 1.9 version installed, then
+ it is mandadory to reboot the system in case the
+ installation routine suggested (via preselection) so.
+ Else you will run into major errors during cryptographic
+ operations.
+
+* From a Gpg4win 1.X or other GnuPG Version:
+
+ In case you have installed Gpg4win 1.x or any other
+ GnuPG Installation on your system, then you might need to
+ remove this registry entry:
+ HKCU\Software\GNU\GnuPG\gpgProgramm
+
+Most important changes in Gpg4win 1.9
+=====================================
+
+
+Removed:
+--------
+
+- GpgEE: This module is replaced by GpgEX (see below)
+
+
+Updated:
+--------
+
+- Claws Mail: Version 3.1.0cvs70
+ NNTP- and IMAP-Support has been further worked on
+ by Gg4win but is not yet available.
+ On the Claws Mail side, work has continued on the SSL support,
+ but there are still problems with the Windows version.
+ During 2008 it is expected to finalize the integration of SSL, NNTP and
+ IMAP for the Windows-Version of Claws Mail.
+
+- GpgOL: This component has been comprehensively updated.
+
+ * Main new features are:
+
+ - Support of OpenPGP/MIME:
+ So far, only the so-called "inline-PGP" was supported.
+ Now, it is even possible to handle attachments directly.
+
+ - Support of S/MIME
+ GpgOL now supports the X.509 based email encryption method
+ S/MIME.
+
+ - Use of Kleopatra for graphical user dialogs:
+ Instead of implementing dialogs of its own, GpgOL
+ uses the unified dialogs of Kleopatra (see below).
+
+Neu:
+----
+
+- GpgEX: The new plugin for Microsoft Explorer.
+
+- Kleopatra: The new certifacte manager
+
+ * Kleoaptra is the current S/MIME certificate manager of KDE.
+ On the one hand it has been extended for support of OpenPGP.
+ On the other hand, Kleopatra now acts as graphical user
+ interface for cryptographic operations and thus unifies the
+ user interaction.
+
+ * WinPT and GPA will eventually removed from Gpg4win as soon
+ as their functionality is fully replaced by Kleopatra.
+
+ * Kleopatra usually runs permanently as a service (see your system tray)
+ from the time one when its service has been requested in your session.
+
+ * Kleopatra is still in development:
+ Some functionalities for OpenPGP are still missing.
+ You can use GPA or WinPT for the missing functionality.
