Noteworthy changes in version 0.3.0
-----------------------------------
+
* New option --emulate-checksum-bug. If your passphrase does not
work anymore, use this option and --change-passphrase to rewrite
your passphrase.
+ * More complete v4 key support: Preferences and expiration time
+ is set into the self signature.
+
+ * Key generation defaults to DSA/ElGamal keys, so that new keys are
+ interoperable with pgp5
+
+ * DSA key generation is faster and key generation does not anymore
+ remove entropy from the random generator (the primes are public
+ parameters, so there is really no need for a cryptographic secure
+ prime number generator which we had used).
+
+ * A complete new structure for representing the key parameters.
+
+ * Removed most public key knowledge into the cipher libray.
+ * Support for dynamic loading of new algorithms.
+ * Moved tiger to an extension module.
