We have 3DES
And so I release 0.4.0.

It is at the usual place:

ftp://ftp.guug.de/pub/gcrypt/gnupg-0.4.0.tar.gz (692k)

or the diff against 0.3.5 (The evil version):

ftp://ftp.guug.de/pub/gcrypt/diffs/gnupg-0.4.0.diff.gz (40k)

Okay, whats new?

* Triple DES is now supported. Michael Roth did this piece of
needed work. We have now all the coded needed to be OpenPGP
compliant.

* Added a simple rpm spec file (see INSTALL).

* detached and armored signatures are now using "PGP SIGNATURE",
except when --rfc1991 is used.

* All times which are not in the yyy-mm-dd format are now printed
in local time.


There are still some other bugs but DES is a major step and I think we
are now in compliance to the openpgp draft 7 - I have to check this.

I have installed the freeware pgp5.53i version on a spare computer
with windoze installed :-( . From my first test I can say, that this
version is not OpenPGP aware - There is not much error output, so that
I can't tell exacly what's wrong. We should do some more tests in
this field.

I've verified the ..tar.gz.sig signature with pgp2.6.3in and it worked.

This version has been checked on a fresh installed Debian/i386 2.0.

I hope I didn't introduced another serious bug ;-)


Have fun,
