First release candidate for GnuPG 2.0.10
Hi,

I just uploaded a release candidate for GnuPG 2.0.10:

ftp://ftp.gnupg.org/gcrypt/alpha/gnupg/gnupg-2.0.10rc1.tar.bz2
ftp://ftp.gnupg.org/gcrypt/alpha/gnupg/gnupg-2.0.10rc1.tar.bz2.sig

Note that the language files are not all updated; the known translators
have been informed about this release candidate. If everything works
out fine, the release is planned for end of December.


Noteworthy changes in version 2.0.10 (unreleased)
-------------------------------------------------

* [gpg] New keyserver helper gpg2keys_kdns as generic DNS CERT
lookup. Run with --help for a short description. Requires the
ADNS library.

* [gpg] New mechanisms "local" and "nodefault" for --auto-key-locate.
Fixed a few problems with this option.

* [gpg] New command --locate-keys.

* [gpg] New options --with-sig-list and --with-sig-check.

* [gpg] The option "-sat" is no longer an alias for --clearsign.

* [gpg] The option --fixed-list-mode is now implicitly used and obsolete.

* [gpg] New control statement %ask-passphrase for the unattended key
generation.

* [gpgsm] Now uses AES by default.

* [gpgsm] Made --output option work with --export-secret-key-p12.

* [gpg-agent] Terminate process if the own listening socket is not
anymore served by ourself.

* [scdaemon] Made it more robust on W32.

* [gpg-connect-agent] Accept commands given as command line arguments.

* [w32] Initialized the socket subsystem for all keyserver helpers.

* [w32] The sysconf directory has been moved from a subdirectory of
the installation directory to %CSIDL_COMMON_APPDATA%/GNU/etc/gnupg.

* [w32] The gnupg2.nls directory is not anymore used. The standard
locale directory is now used.

* [w32] Fixed a race condition bteween gpg and gpgsm in the use of
temporary file names.

* The gpg-preset-passphrase mechanism works again. An arbitrary
string may now be used for a custom cache ID.

* Admin PINs are cached again (bug in 2.0.9).

* Support for version 2 OpenPGP cards.

* Libgcrypt 1.4 is now required.


There is a small bug I noticed too late: The libgcrypt version is always
printed by gpg2 unless --batch is used.


Happy hacking,

Werner
