Noteworthy changes in version 2.3.0 (unreleased)
------------------------------------------------
- * The legacy key discovery method PKA is no longer supported. The
- command --print-pka-records and the PKA related import and export
- options have been removed.
-
* A new experimental key database daemon is provided. To enable it
put "use-keyboxd" into gpg.conf and gpgsm.conf. Keys are stored
in a SQLite database and make key lookup much faster.
+ * New tool gpg-card as a flexible frontend for all types of
+ supported smartcards.
+
+ * New option --chuid for gpg, gpgsm, gpgconf, gpg-card, and
+ gpg-connect-agent.
+
* The gpg-wks-client tool is now installed under bin; a wrapper for
its old location at libexec is also installed.
+ * gpg: Switch to ed25519/cv25519 as default public key algorithms.
+
+ * gpg: Verification results now depend on the --sender option and
+ the signer's UID subpacket. [T4735]
+
+ * gpg: Do not use any 64-bit block size cipher algorithm for
+ encryption. Use AES as last resort cipher preference instead of
+ 3DES. This can be reverted using --allow-old-cipher-algos.
+
+ * gpg: Support AEAD encryption mode using OCB or EAX.
+
+ * gpg: Support v5 keys and signatures.
+
+ * gpg: Support curve X448 (ed448, cv448).
+
+ * gpg: Allow use of group names in key listings. [e825aea2ba]
+
+ * gpg: New option --full-timestrings to print date and time.
+
+ * gpg: The legacy key discovery method PKA is no longer supported.
+ The command --print-pka-records and the PKA related import and
+ export options have been removed.
+
+ * gpgsm: Add basic ECC support.
+
+ * gpgsm: Support creation of EdDSA certificates. [#4888]
+
+ * agent: Allow the use of "Label:" in a key file to customize the
+ pinentry prompt. [5388537806]
+
+ * agent: Support ssh-agent extensions for environment variables.
+ With a patched version of OpenSSH this avoids the need for the
+ "updatestartuptty" kludge. [224e26cf7b]
+
+ * scd: Improve support for multiple card readers and tokens.
+
+ * scd: Support PIV cards.
+
+ * scd: Support the Telesec Signature Card v2.0
+
+ * scd: Support multiple application on certain smartcard.
+
+ * scd: New option --application-priority.
+
+ * dirmngr: Support a gpgNtds parameter in LDAP keyserver URLs.
+
+ * The symcryptrun tool, a wrapper for the now obsolete external
+ Chiasmus tool, has been removed.
