Version 2.1

* INTRODUCTION
- GnuPG is a tool for secure communication and data storage. It can
- be used to encrypt data and to create digital signatures. It
- includes an advanced key management facility and is compliant with
- the proposed OpenPGP Internet standard as described in RFC4880 and
- the S/MIME standard as described by several RFCs.
+ GnuPG is a complete and free implementation of the OpenPGP standard
+ as defined by RFC4880 (also known as PGP). GnuPG allows to encrypt
+ and sign data and communication, features a versatile key management
+ system as well as access modules for public key directories.
+
+ GnuPG, also known as GPG, is a command line tool with features for
+ easy integration with other applications. A wealth of frontend
+ applications and libraries making use of GnuPG are available. Since
+ version 2 GnuPG provides support for S/MIME and Secure Shell in
+ addition to OpenPGP.
+
+ GnuPG is Free Software (meaning that it respects your freedom). It
+ can be freely used, modified and distributed under the terms of the
+ GNU General Public License.
+
+ We are currently maintaining three branches of GnuPG:
+
+ - 2.1 (i.e. this release) is the latest development with a lot of
+ new features.
- GnuPG is distributed under the terms of the GNU General Public
- License. See the file COPYING for details. GnuPG works best on
- GNU/Linux or *BSD systems. Most other Unices are also supported but
- are not as well tested as the Free Unices.
+ - 2.0 is the current stable version for general use.
- GnuPG-2 is the stable version of GnuPG integrating support for
- OpenPGP and S/MIME. It does not conflict with an installed 1.4
- OpenPGP-only version.
+ - 1.4 is the old standalone version which is most suitable for older
+ or embedded platforms.
+
+ You may not install 2.1 and 2.0 at the same time. However, it is
+ possible to install 1.4 along with any of the 2.x versions.

- GPG's smartcard commands --card-edit and --card-status as well as some
