[Gpg4win-devel] Changes in Gpg4win 1.0.6

[Werner Koch]

Hi!

I have been asked for a list of changes in the components. Here comes
the info from the NEWS files:

GPGol:
======

* Fix problem that message would be sent in clear
  text if the user cancelled the operation.

* Cosmetic updates for some dialogs.

* Do not show the 'select signer dialog' when only
  one secret key is available in the keyring.

* Fixes for the automatic key selection algorithm
  used in the recipient key dialog.
  

WinPT:
======

* The passphrase dialog now contains an additional
  hint for which key the passphrase is.
 
* Do sanity checks to avoid that the user can mark
  a revoked user id as the primary ID. And similar
  that a fully trusted user ID cannot be signed again.
  
* The Key Manager now remembers the window size and
  restore the values from the registry and resize the
  window accordingly.
  
* The key sign dialog now has a feature to display the
  photo of the key owner if it is available.

* Fix a problem in the key edit dialog when a new
  subkey was added and the algorithm was displayed
  as "???".

* The verify list dialog now also uses icons to
  make it easier to recognize the signature state visually.

* Allow 8-bit passphrases, formerly utf8 encoding of the
  passphrases.

* Avoid crashes when the user tries to execute functions
  that access the key cache during synchronisation.

* Better keyserver error messages.

* The decrypt/verify command does not show a separate signature
  verify message box for each message any longer but add 
  the signature information to the viewer dialog. This avoids
  that the user needs to remind the signature state, while viewing
  the text.
  
* Fix a special case in the keyserver code which would lead to
  a crash after receiving.

* Correct sorting problem in the Encryption dialog and that
  sometimes the wrong icon is displayed in the header control.

* Simplify Clipboard Editor dialog.
  It now has a menu to avoid the overloaded look with many
  buttons. As a new feature, it also provides shortcuts for
  some GPG commands.

* Fix problem in the control logic of the GPG preference dialog.
  Now a changed home dir should no longer be displayed again
  as the users local application folder (append with \gnupg).

* Models for the list view controls to make the integration
  of new feature more easier. For example the major view controls
  do now support sorting.

* Bug fix in file name handling for the MAPI feature.

* The key sign dialog now lists all user IDs and not only
  the primary to indicate that all user IDs will be signed.

* The signature property dialog now contain all useful
  information about the sig, which includes the creation date.

* A bug in the key deleting code has been fixed. The problem
  is only related to the GUI synchronisation and not the delete
  process itself.

* Support to retrieve the PKA record directly from the DNS.
  This allows to perform a validity check of the key if a
  PKA record is available for the key.

* The Current Window Support does know correctly reset the
  cursor position within the foreground window.

* Fix problem in the key cache which might lead to a segv
  after importing a secret key or if the last secret key 
  will be deleted.
