  • gpg: New option --force-sign-key. [T4584]
  • gpg: Use a more descriptive password prompt for symmetric decryption. [rG03f83bcda5d1]
  • gpg: Do not use the self-sigs-only option for LDAP keyserver imports. [T5387]
  • gpg: Keep temp files when opening images via xdg-open. [rG0441ed6e1c]
  • gpg: Fix mailbox based search via AKL keyserver method. [rG22fe23f46d31]
  • gpg: Fix sending an OpenPGP key with umlaut to an LDAP keyserver. [rG7bf8530e75d0]
  • gpg: Allow ECDH with a smartcard returning only the x-coordinate. [rGb203325ce1]
  • gpgsm: New option --ldapserver as an alias for --keyserver. Note that confuring servers in gpgsm and gpg is deprecated; please use the dirmngr configuration options.
  • gpgsm: Support AES-GCM decryption. [rGb722fd755c77]
  • gpgsm: Support decryption of password protected files. [rG6f31acac767f]
  • gpgsm: Lock keyboxes also during a search to fix lockups on Windows. [T4505]
  • agent: Skip unknown unknown ssh curves seen on cards. [rGbbf4bd3bfcb5]
  • scdaemon: New option --pcsc-shared. [rG5eec40f3d827]
  • scdaemon: Backport PKCS#15 card support from GnuPG 2.3 [rG7637d39fe20e]
  • scdaemon: Fix CCID driver for SCM SPR332/SPR532. [T5297]

  • dirmngr: New option --ldapserver to avoid the need for the separate dirmngr_ldapservers.conf file.
  • dirmngr: The dirmngr_ldap wrapper has been rewritten to properly support ldap-over-tls and starttls for X.509 certificates and CRLs. [rG39815c023f03]
  • dirmngr: OpenPGP LDAP keyservers may now also be configured using the same syntax as used for X.509 and CRL LDAP servers. This avoids the former cumbersome quoting rules and adds a flexible set of flags to control the connection. [rG2b4cddf9086f]
  • dirmngr: The "ldaps" scheme of an OpenPGP keyserver URL is now interpreted as ldap-with-starttls on port 389. To use the non-standardized ldap-over-tls the new LDAP configuration method of the new attribute "gpgNtds" needs to be used. [rG55f46b33df08]
  • dirmngr: Return the fingerprint as search result also for LDAP OpenPGP keyservers. This requires the modernized LDAP schema. [T5441]

  • gpgtar: Fix file size computation under Windows. [rG198b240b1955]
  • Full Unicode support for the Windows command line. [T4398]
  • Fix problem with Windows Job objects and auto start of our daemons. [T4333]
  • i18n: In German always use "Passwort" instead of "Passphrase" in prompts.
