Noteworthy changes in version 1.3.2 (2012-05-02)
------------------------------------------------
* Remove support for libgpgme-pth. As far as we know, this was never used,
and GnuPG is going to use our own npth in the future.
* Fix signature summary information for a missing X.509 key.
* Fix parsing of dates >= year 2038.
Noteworthy changes in version 1.3.1 (2011-06-16)
------------------------------------------------
* Ported to Windows CE.
* Detect GPG versions not supporting ---passwd.
* Interface changes relative to the 1.3.0 release:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
GPGME_EXPORT_MODE_MINIMAL NEW
GPGME_STATUS_SUCCESS NEW
gpgme_err_code_from_syserror NEW
gpgme_err_set_errno NEW
gpgme_error_from_errno CHANGED: Return gpgme_error_t (compatible type).
gpgme_error_from_syserror NEW
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Noteworthy changes in version 1.3.0 (2010-01-11)
------------------------------------------------
* GPGME does not come with an internal libassuan version anymore.
The external libassuan 1.1.0 release or later is required. For
application programmers on systems that can resolve inter-library
dependencies at runtime, this is a transparent change.
* New engine GPGME_PROTOCOL_G13 to support the new g13 tool.
* New engine GPGME_PROTOCOL_UISERVER to support UI Servers.
* New API to change the passphrase of a key.
* Interface changes relative to the 1.2.0 release:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
GPGME_STATUS_INV_SGNR NEW.
GPGME_STATUS_NO_SGNR NEW.
GPGME_PROTOCOL_G13 NEW.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Noteworthy changes in version 1.2.0 (2009-06-18)
------------------------------------------------
* New encryption flag GPGME_ENCRYPT_NO_ENCRYPT_TO to disable default
recipients.
* gpgme_new will fail if gpgme_check_version was not called, or a
selftest failed (for example, if -mms-bitfields was not used on
MingW32 targets).
* New functions gpgme_io_read and gpgme_io_write for use with
gpgme_passphrase_cb_t and gpgme_edit_cb_t functions.
* New functions gpgme_result_ref and gpgme_result_unref to detach
result structures from a context.
* New functions gpgme_op_export_keys_start and gpgme_op_export_keys
that allow to specify exported keys through gpgme_key_t objects
instead of patterns.
* New mode of operation gpgme_export_mode_t that allows exporting
external keys.
* Interface changes relative to the 1.1.7 release:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
GPGME_KEYLIST_MODE_EPHEMERAL NEW.
GPGME_PROTOCOL_ASSUAN NEW.
gpgme_assuan_data_cb_t NEW.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Noteworthy changes in version 1.1.8 (2008-12-08)
------------------------------------------------
* SIGPIPE is now again ignored as described in the manual. Fixes
regresion introduced with 1.1.6.
Noteworthy changes in version 1.1.7 (2008-10-17)
------------------------------------------------
* Using GPGME_KEYLIST_MODE_LOCAL combined with
GPGME_KEYLIST_MODE_EXTERN is now supported; it uses the
--locate-keys feature of gpg (>= 2.0.10).
* The encoding of gpgme_data_t objects can affect the output encoding
of export, sign and encrypt operations now (the same operations
that are also affected by the ASCII mode switch). We believe this
change in the ABI is innocent enough not to break existing
applications (it only affects the S/MIME backend on certain
operations).
* The reference manual now includes the specification of "The GnuPG
UI Server protocol".
* A new function gpgme_cancel_async can be used to asynchronously
cancel any pending operation at any time, from any thread.
* Interface changes relative to the 1.1.6 release:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
gpgme_op_encrypt CHANGED: Output encoding can affect result.
gpgme_op_encrypt_start CHANGED: Output encoding can affect result.
gpgme_op_encrypt_sign CHANGED: Output encoding can affect result.

Noteworthy changes in version 1.1.6 (2008-01-04)
------------------------------------------------
* Bug fixes for for W32.
* A new, experimental (and thus undocumented and potentially
unstable) interface for accessing gpg-conf through GPGME has been
added.
* Interface changes relative to the 1.1.1 release:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
gpgme_signature_t EXTENDED: New field chain_model.
gpgme_op_getauditlog_start NEW.
gpgme_op_getauditlog NEW.
GPGME_AUDITLOG_HTML NEW.
GPGME_AUDITLOG_WITH_HELP NEW.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Noteworthy changes in version 1.1.5 (2007-07-09)
------------------------------------------------
* Bug and portability fixes (mainly for W32).
Noteworthy changes in version 1.1.4 (2007-03-05)
------------------------------------------------
* Detect and bail out on double plaintext messages. This is required
so that applications can properly detect the signed parts of a
message. Actual there is now a double protection as GnuPG 1.4.7
will detect this case too.
Noteworthy changes in version 1.1.3 (2007-01-29)
------------------------------------------------
* Fixed a memory leak in gpgme_data_release_and_get_mem.
* Fixed a bug in Windows command line quoting.
Noteworthy changes in version 1.1.2 (2006-03-02)
------------------------------------------------
* Fixed a bug in the W32 glib backend.
Noteworthy changes in version 1.1.1 (2006-02-23)
------------------------------------------------
* Fixed a bug in that the fingerprints of subkeys are not available.
* Clarified usage of the SECRET flag in key listings. It is now
reset for stub keys.
* Reading signature notations and policy URLs on key signatures is
supported. They can be found in the new field notations of the
gpgme_key_sig_t structure. This has to be enabled with the keylist
mode flag GPGME_KEYLIST_MODE_SIG_NOTATIONS.
* A new gpgme_free() function solves the problem of using different
allocators in a single program. This function should now be used
instead calling free() to release the buffer returned by
gpgme_data_release_and_get_mem. It is recommended that you always
do this, but it is only necessary on certain platforms, so backwards
compatibility is provided. In other words: If free() worked for
you before, it will keep working.
* New status codes GPGME_PKA_TRUST_GOOD and GPGME_PKA_TRUST_BAD.
They are analyzed by the verify handlers and made available in the
new PKA_TRUST and PKA_ADDRESS fields of the signature result structure.
* Interface changes relative to the 1.1.0 release:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
gpgme_key_sig_t EXTENDED: New field notations.
GPGME_KEYLIST_MODE_SIG_NOTATIONS NEW
gpgme_free NEW
GPGME_STATUS_PKA_TRUST_BAD NEW
GPGME_STATUS_PKA_TRUST_GOOD NEW
gpgme_signature_t EXTENDED: New field pka_trust.
gpgme_signature_t EXTENDED: New field pka_address.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Noteworthy changes in version 1.1.0 (2005-10-01)
------------------------------------------------
* You can now configure the backend engine file name and home
directory to be used, as default and per context.
* Information about the recipients of an encrypted text is now
available at decryption time.
* New status GPGME_STATUS_PLAINTEXT. This is analyzed by the decrypt
and verify handlers, the information about the plaintext filename,
if available is made available in the new field file_name of the
respective result structure.
* The code for "automagically detecting the thread library" has been
removed from libgpgme. It is deprecated since version 0.4.3.
Since then, you had to link against libgpgme-pthread for
applications using pthread and libgpgme-pth for applications using
GNU Pth.
The code was removed because it caused compilation problems on
systems where the pthread.h header from GNU Pth is available in
addition to the system header (FreeBSD 6 and later for example).
* "./autogen.sh --build-w32" does now build gpgme.dll.
* [W32] The environment variable GPGME_DEBUG now uses a semicolon as
delimiter. The standard install directory is used when locating
gpg or gpgsm before finally falling back to the hardwired name.
* There is a new flag for keys and subkeys, is_qualified, which
indicates if a key can be used for qualified signatures according
to local government regulations.
* You can associate a filename with a data object using the new
function gpgme_data_set_file_name(). This filename will be stored
in the output when encrypting or signing the data and will be
returned when decrypting or verifying the output data.
* You can now set notation data at signature creation with the new
function gpgme_sig_notation_add().
* Interface changes relative to the 1.0.3 release:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
gpgme_set_engine_info NEW
gpgme_ctx_get_engine_info NEW

gpgme_verify_result_t EXTENDED: New field plaintext_filename.
GPGME_STATUS_PLAINTEXT NEW
gpgme_key_t EXTENDED: New field is_qualified.

gpgme_sig_notation_get NEW
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Noteworthy changes in version 1.0.3 (2005-06-20)
------------------------------------------------
* Previousy, GPGME would use a default "include certs" of 1. This
has been changed. Now GPGME will use the crypto backend engines
default unless you set the value with gpgme_set_include_certs()
explicitely. A new macro GPGME_INCLUDE_CERTS_DEFAULT can be used
as a value to explicitely request the new default behaviour.
Because the default changes, this is a slight change of the API
semantics. We consider it to be a bug fix.
* A bug which made GPGME hang has been fixed. If you have
experienced hanging before, please try out this version and let me
know if you still experience hanging problems.
* Interface changes relative to the 0.9.0 release:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
gpgme_set_include_certs CHANGED DEFAULT
GPGME_INCLUDE_CERTS_DEFAULT NEW
GPGME_STATUS_SIG_SUBPACKET NEW
GPGME_STATUS_NEED_PASSPHRASE_PIN NEW
GPGME_STATUS_SC_OP_FAILURE NEW

GPGME_STATUS_CARDCTRL NEW
GPGME_STATUS_BACKUP_KEY_CREATED NEW
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Noteworthy changes in version 1.0.2 (2004-12-28)
------------------------------------------------
* Changed the license of the library to the GNU Lesser General Public
License (LGPL), version 2.1 or later.
Noteworthy changes in version 1.0.1 (2004-10-22)
------------------------------------------------
* Only bug fixes.
Noteworthy changes in version 1.0.0 (2004-09-30)
------------------------------------------------
* Version 1.0.0! We are proud to present you with a thoroughly
tested and stable version of the GPGME library. A big Thank You!
to all the people who made this possible.
The development will be branched into a stable 1.x.y series and the
head.
* The gpgme.m4 macro supports checking the API version. Just prepend
it to the required version string, separated by a colon. For
example, this release has the version "1:1.0.0". The last release
to which this version is (mostly) ABI compatible is "1:0.4.2",
which is the default required version.
Noteworthy changes in version 0.9.0 (2004-06-08)
------------------------------------------------
* The type gpgme_key_t has now a new field keylist_mode that contains
the keylist mode that was active at the time the key was retrieved.
* The type gpgme_decrypt_result_t has a new field "wrong_key_usage"
that contains a flag indicating that the key should not have been
used for encryption.
* Verifying a signature of a revoked key gives the correct result now
(GPG_ERR_CERT_REVOKED error code).
* Clarified that the error code GPG_ERR_NO_DATA from the decrypt &
verify operations still allows you to look at the signature
verification result.
* Clarified that patterns in keylisting operations have an upper
limit, and thus are not suited to list many keys at once by their
fingerprint. Also improve the error message if the pattern is too
long for the CMS protocol to handle.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
gpgme_key_t EXTENDED: New field keylist_mode.
gpgme_decrypt_result_t EXTENDED: New field wrong_key_usage.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Noteworthy changes in version 0.4.7 (2004-04-29)
------------------------------------------------
* Correctly initialize the fields expired, revoked, invalid, and
disabled in the gpgme_key_t structures.
* A bug fix: The flag wrong_key_usage of gpgme_signature_t was
accidently of type int instead unsigned int.
* Interface changes relative to the 0.4.5 release:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
gpgme_signature_t CHANGED: wrong_key_usage is unsigned int now.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Noteworthy changes in version 0.4.6 (2004-04-06)
------------------------------------------------
* Bug fixes
Noteworthy changes in version 0.4.5 (2004-03-07)
------------------------------------------------
* GPGME is now compiled with LFS (large file support) by default.
This means that _all_ programs using GPGME must be compiled with
LFS support enabled by default. You can do this easily with
autoconf, by using the AC_SYS_LARGEFILE macro. Or you can do this
without autoconf by defining the preprocessor symbol
_FILE_OFFSET_BITS to 64 (by passing the -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 to
the C compiler command line, or by defining this preprocessor
symbol before including any system header files). For more
details, read the section on LFS in the manual.
Up to now, it was undocumented that GPGME was not using LFS.
But the public interfaces use off_t, and file descriptors are
exchanged between the application and GPGME. This was an oversight,
and bound to cause troubles in the future.
Writing GPGME as a dual mode library that seamlessly supports LFS
while keeping backwards compatibility is possible, but does not
solve the problem: Many applications already expect GPGME to have
LFS (they are compiled with off_t being a 64bit value). This is true
in particular for the popular Gtk+ and Qt programs.
So, although this is an ABI (but not an API) break, we will not
change the library version to reflect that. Because the interfaces
affected are probably not used yet in any GPGME 0.4 based
application, we don't expect any real failures from this change.
In fact, applications already using LFS will have some subtle bugs
fixed.
However, if you encounter an application using GPGME 0.4.x that
does _not_ use LFS by default (off_t is a 32bit value), _and_
uses at least one of the functions gpgme_data_seek,
gpgme_data_new_from_filepart, or a gpgme_data_seek_cb_t with
gpgme_data_new_from_cbs, then indeed this library will be ABI
incompatible with the program. As said above, we don't believe
such a program exists. If we are in error, then you have two
options: As a quick hack, you can configure GPGME with the
--disable-largefile option. This will revert the change, and GPGME
will not use LFS. However, GPGME will be incompatible with
programs that expect GPGME to use LFS. All applications are
required to use LFS when using GPGME, so this is only good as a
temporary local work-around.
The other option is to change the versioning of the library and
recompile all applications. We have reserved a special version of
the library for that, so you can do that without expecting a
version clash in the future. Furthermore, everyone who does this
will agree on the version to use (this is important for
distribution makers). Read the comment in configure.ac (before
LIBGPGME_LT_AGE) if you want to do this. Please don't do this
blindly: As stated above, we think it is unlikely this measure is
needed. Still, it is there if necessary. If in doubt, contact us
and we will give our advise for your specific situation.
* New key listing mode GPGME_KEYLIST_MODE_VALIDATE for validation of
the listed keys.
* New interface gpgme_cancel() that can be used to cancel
asynchronous operations.
* Interface changes relative to the 0.4.4 release:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
gpgme_data_seek_cb_t CHANGED: off_t is now a largefile type.
gpgme_data_seek CHANGED: off_t is now a largefile type.
gpgme_data_new_from_filepart CHANGED: off_t is now a largefile type.
GPGME_KEYLIST_MODE_VALIDATE NEW
gpgme_cancel NEW
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Noteworthy changes in version 0.4.4 (2004-01-12)
------------------------------------------------
* The member "class" in gpgme_key_sig_t and gpgme_new_signature_t has
been renamed to "sig_class", to avoid clash with C++ compilers. In
the C API, the old name "class" has been preserved for backwards
compatibility, but is deprecated.
* Interface changes relative to the 0.4.3 release:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
gpgme_key_sig_t CHANGED: class deprecated, use new sig_class.
gpgme_new_signature_t CHANGED: class deprecated, use new sig_class.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Noteworthy changes in version 0.4.3 (2003-10-06)
------------------------------------------------
* libgpgme should not be used for threaded programs anymore. This
never worked reliably in all cases, because you had to
be careful about the linking order and libtool wouldn't do that for
you automatically. Instead, now you have to link against
libgpgme-pthread for applications using pthread and libgpgme-pth for
applications using GNU Pth.
The old code for automagically detecting the thread library is
still part of libgpgme, but it is DEPRECATED.
* There are new automake macros AM_PATH_GPGME_PTH and
AM_PATH_GPGME_PTHREAD, which support checking for thread-enabled
versions of GPGME. They define GPGME_PTH_CFLAGS, GPGME_PTH_LIBS,
GPGME_PTHREAD_CFLAGS and GPGME_PTHREAD_LIBS respectively. These
variables of course also include the configuration for the thread
package itself. Alternatively, use libtool.
* gpgme_strerror_r as a thread safe variant of gpgme_strerror was
added.
* gpgme-config doesn't support setting the prefix or exec prefix
anymore. I don't think it ever worked correctly, and it seems to
be pointless.
* gpgme_get_key fails with GPG_ERR_AMBIGUOUS_NAME if the key ID
provided was not unique, instead returning the first matching key.
* gpgme_key_t and gpgme_subkey_t have a new field, can_authenticate,
that indicates if the key can be used for authentication.
* gpgme_signature_t's status field is now correctly set to an error
with error code GPG_ERR_NO_PUBKEY if public key is not found.
* gpgme_new_signature_t's class field is now an unsigned int, rather
than an unsigned long (the old class field is preserved for
backwards compatibility).
* A new function gpgme_set_locale() is provided to allow configuring
the locale for the crypto backend. This is necessary for text
terminals so that programs like the pinentry can be started with
the right locale settings for the terminal the application is running
on, in case the terminal has different settings than the system
default (for example, if it is a remote terminal). You are highly
recommended to call the following functions directly after
gpgme_check_version:
#include <locale.h>
setlocale (LC_ALL, "");
gpgme_set_locale (NULL, LC_CTYPE, setlocale (LC_CTYPE, NULL));
gpgme_set_locale (NULL, LC_MESSAGES, setlocale (LC_MESSAGES, NULL));
GPGME can not do this for you, as setlocale is not thread safe, and
there is no alternative.
* The signal action for SIGPIPE is now set to SIG_IGN by
gpgme_check_version, instead the first time a crypto engine is
started (which is not well defined).
* In the output of gpgme_hash_algo_name, change RMD160 to RIPEMD160,
TIGER to TIGER192, CRC32-RFC1510 to CRC32RFC1510, and CRC24-RFC2440
to CRC24RFC2440. For now, these strings can be used as the MIC
parameter for PGP/MIME (if appropriately modified).
* Interface changes relative to the 0.4.2 release:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
gpgme_strerror_t NEW
gpgme_get_key CHANGED: Fails correctly if key ID not unique.
gpgme_key_t EXTENDED: New field can_authenticate.
gpgme_subkey_t EXTENDED: New field can_authenticate.
gpgme_new_signature_t CHANGED: New type for class field.
gpgme_set_locale NEW
gpgme_hash_algo_name CHANGED: Slight adjustment of algo names.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Noteworthy changes in version 0.4.2 (2003-07-30)
------------------------------------------------
* Allow gpg-error to be in non-standard place when linking the test suite.
* Configure will fail now if gpg-error can not be found.
* Fixed initialized memory backed data objects for writing, which
caused the test program to crash (but only on Mac OS, surprisingly).
* Eliminate use of C99 constructs.
* Small improvements to the manual.
Noteworthy changes in version 0.4.1 (2003-06-06)
------------------------------------------------
This is the release that 0.4.0 should have been. There are many
interface changes, please see below for the details. The changes are
sometimes the result of new functionality, but more often express a
paradigm shift. Others are an overdue cleanup to get GPGME in line
with the GNU coding standards and to make the interface more
self-consistent. Here is an overview on the changes:
All types have been renamed to conform to the GNU coding standards,
most of the time by keeping the whole name in lowercase and inserting
underscores between words.
All operations consistently only accept input parameters in their
invocation function, and return only an error code directly. Further
information about the result of the operation has to be retrieved
afterwards by calling one of the result functions. This unifies the
synchronous and the asynchronous interface.
The error values have been completely replaced by a more
sophisticated model that allows GPGME to transparently and accurately
report all errors from the other GnuPG components, irregardless of
process boundaries. This is achieved by using the library
libgpg-errors, which is shared by all GnuPG components. This library
is now required for GPGME.
The results of all operations are now provided by pointers to C
structs rather than by XML structs or in other ways.
Objects which used to be opaque (for example a key) are now pointers
to accessible structs, so no accessor functions are necessary.
Backward compatibility is provided where it was possible without too
much effort and did not collide with the overall sanitization effort.
However, this is only for ease of transition. NO DEPRECATED FUNCTION
OR DATA TYPE IS CONSIDERED A PART OF THE API OR ABI AND WILL BE
DROPPED IN THE FUTURE WITHOUT CHANGING THE SONAME OF THE LIBRARY.
Recommendations how to replace deprecated or removed functionality
can be found within the description of each change.
What follows are all changes to the interface and behaviour of GPGME
in detail.
* If gpgme.h is included in sources compiled by GCC 3.1 or later,
deprecated attributes will warn about use of obsolete functions and
type definitions. You can suppress these warnings by passing
-Wno-deprecated-declarations to the gcc command.
* The following types have been renamed. The old types are still
available as aliases, but they are deprecated now:
Old name: New name:
GpgmeCtx gpgme_ctx_t
GpgmeData gpgme_data_t
GpgmeError gpgme_error_t
GpgmeDataEncoding gpgme_data_encoding_t
GpgmeSigStat gpgme_sig_stat_t
GpgmeSigMode gpgme_sig_mode_t
GpgmeAttr gpgme_attr_t
GpgmeValidity gpgme_validity_t
GpgmeProtocol gpgme_protocol_t
GpgmeKey gpgme_key_t
GpgmePassphraseCb gpgme_passphrase_cb_t
GpgmeProgressCb gpgme_progress_cb_t
GpgmeIOCb gpgme_io_cb_t
GpgmeRegisterIOCb gpgme_register_io_cb_t
GpgmeRemoveIOCb gpgme_remove_io_cb_t
GpgmeEventIO gpgme_event_io_t

GpgmeDataSeekCb gpgme_data_seek_cb_t
GpgmeDataReleaseCb gpgme_data_release_cb_t
GpgmeDataCbs gpgme_data_cbs_t
GpgmeTrustItem gpgme_trust_item_t
GpgmeStatusCode gpgme_status_code_t
* gpgme_error_t is now identical to gpg_error_t, the error type
provided by libgpg-error. More about using libgpg-error with GPGME
can be found in the manual. All error symbols have been removed!
* All functions and types in libgpg-error have been wrapped in GPGME.
The new types are gpgme_err_code_t and gpgme_err_source_t. The new
functions are gpgme_err_code, gpgme_err_source, gpgme_error,
gpgme_err_make, gpgme_error_from_errno, gpgme_err_make_from_errno,
gpgme_err_code_from_errno, gpgme_err_code_to_errno,
gpgme_strsource.
* GPGME_ATTR_IS_SECRET is not anymore representable as a string.
* GnuPG 1.2.2 is required. The progress callback is now also invoked
for encrypt, sign, encrypt-sign, decrypt, verify, and
decrypt-verify operations. For verify operations on detached
signatures, the progress callback is invoked for both the detached
signature and the plaintext message, though.
* gpgme_passphrase_cb_t has been changed to not provide a complete
description, but the UID hint, passphrase info and a flag
indicating if this is a repeated attempt individually, so the user
can compose his own description from this information.
The passphrase is not returned as a C string, but must be written
to a file descriptor directly. This allows for secure passphrase
entries.
The return type has been changed to gpgme_error_t value. This
allowed to remove the gpgme_cancel function; just return
the error code GPG_ERR_CANCELED in the passphrase callback directly.
* gpgme_edit_cb_t has been changed to take a file descriptor argument.
The user is expected to write the response to the file descriptor,
followed by a newline.
* The recipients interface has been removed. Instead, you use
NULL-terminated lists of keys for specifying the recipients of an
encryption operation. Use the new encryption flag
GPGME_ENCRYPT_ALWAYS_TRUST if you want to override the validity of
the keys (but note that in general this is not a good idea).
This change has been made to the prototypes of gpgme_op_encrypt,
gpgme_op_encrypt_start, gpgme_op_encrypt_sign and
gpgme_op_encrypt_sign_start.
The export interface has been changed to use pattern strings like
the keylist interface. Thus, new functions gpgme_op_export_ext and
gpgme_op_export_ext_start have been added as well. Now the
prototypes of gpgme_op_export_start and gpgme_op_export finally
make sense.
* gpgme_op_verify and gpgme_op_decrypt_verify don't return a status
summary anymore. Use gpgme_get_sig_status to retrieve the individual
stati.
* gpgme_io_cb_t changed from a void function to a function returning
a gpgme_error_t value. However, it will always return 0, so you
can safely ignore the return value.
* A new I/O callback event GPGME_EVENT_START has been added. The new
requirement is that you must wait until this event until you are
allowed to call the I/O callback handlers previously registered for
this context operation. Calling I/O callback functions for this
context operation before the start event happened is unsafe because
it can lead to race conditions in a multi-threaded environment.
* The idle function feature has been removed. It was not precisely
defined in a multi-threaded environment and is obsoleted by the
user I/O callback functions. If you still need a simple way to
call something while waiting on one or multiple asynchronous
operations to complete, don't set the HANG flag in gpgme_wait (note
that this will return to your program more often than the idle
function did).
* gpgme_wait can return NULL even if hang is true, if an error
occurs. In that case *status contains the error code.
* gpgme_get_engine_info was radically changed. Instead an XML
string, an info structure of the new type gpgme_engine_info_t is
returned. This makes it easier and more robust to evaluate the
information in an application.
* The new function gpgme_get_protocol_name can be used to convert a
gpgme_protocol_t value into a string.
* The status of a context operation is not checked anymore. Starting
a new operation will silently cancel the previous one. Calling a
function that requires you to have started an operation before without
doing so is undefined.
* The FPR argument to gpgme_op_genkey was removed. Instead, use the
gpgme_op_genkey_result function to retrieve a gpgme_genkey_result_t
pointer to a structure which contains the fingerprint. This also
works with gpgme_op_genkey_start. The structure also provides
other information about the generated keys.
So, instead:
char *fpr;
err = gpgme_op_genkey (ctx, NULL, NULL, &fpr);
if (!err && fpr)
printf ("%s\n", fpr);
you should now do:
gpgme_genkey_result_t result;
err = gpgme_op_genkey (ctx, NULL, NULL);
if (!err)
{
result = gpgme_op_genkey_result (ctx);
if (result->fpr)
printf ("%s\n", result->fpr);
}
* The new gpgme_op_import_result function provides detailed
information about the result of an import operation in
gpgme_import_result_t and gpgme_import_status_t objects.
Thus, the gpgme_op_import_ext variant is deprecated.
* The new gpgme_op_sign_result function provides detailed information
about the result of a signing operation in gpgme_sign_result_t,
gpgme_invalid_key_t and gpgme_new_signature_t objects.
* The new gpgme_op_encrypt_result function provides detailed
information about the result of an encryption operation in
a GpgmeEncryptResult object.
* The new gpgme_op_decrypt_result function provides detailed
information about the result of a decryption operation in
a GpgmeDecryptResult object.
* The new gpgme_op_verify_result function provides detailed
information about the result of an verify operation in
a GpgmeVerifyResult object. Because of this, the GPGME_SIG_STAT_*
values, gpgme_get_sig_status, gpgme_get_sig_ulong_attr,
gpgme_get_sig_string_attr and gpgme_get_sig_key are now deprecated,
and gpgme_get_notation is removed.
* GpgmeTrustItem objects have now directly accessible data, so the
gpgme_trust_item_get_string_attr and gpgme_trust_item_get_ulong_attr
accessor functions are deprecated. Also, reference counting is
available through gpgme_trust_item_ref and gpgme_trust_item_unref
(the gpgme_trust_item_release alias for the latter is deprecated).
* Keys are not cached internally anymore, so the force_update argument
to gpgme_get_key has been removed.
* GpgmeKey objects have now directly accessible data so the
gpgme_key_get_string_attr, gpgme_key_get_ulong_attr,
gpgme_key_sig_get_string_attr and gpgme_key_sig_get_ulong_attr
functions are deprecated. Also, gpgme_key_release is now
deprecated. The gpgme_key_get_as_xml function has been dropped.
* Because all interfaces using attributes are deprecated, the
GpgmeAttr data type is also deprecated.
* The new gpgme_op_keylist_result function provides detailed
information about the result of a key listing operation in
a GpgmeKeyListResult object.
* Now that each function comes with its own result retrieval
interface, the generic gpgme_get_op_info interface is not useful
anymore and dropped.
* The type and mode of data objects is not available anymore.
* Interface changes relative to the 0.4.0 release:

and Pth.
Noteworthy changes in version 0.3.6 (2002-05-03)
------------------------------------------------
* All error output of the gpgsm backend is send to the bit bucket.
* The signature verification functions are extended. Instead of
always returning GPGME_SIG_STATUS_GOOD, the functions new codes for
expired signatures. 2 new functions may be used to retrieve more
detailed information like the signature expiration time and a
validity information of the key without an extra key looking.
* The current passphrase callback and progress meter callback can be

Noteworthy changes in version 0.3.5 (2002-04-01)
------------------------------------------------
* gpgme_op_encrypt can be called with RECIPIENTS being 0. In this
case, symmetric encryption is performed. Note that this requires a
passphrase from the user.
* More information is returned for X.509 certificates.
* Interface changes relative to the 0.3.4 release:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
gpgme_op_encrypt EXTENDED: Symmetric encryption possible
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Noteworthy changes in version 0.3.4 (2002-03-04)
------------------------------------------------
* gpgme_op_encrypt does now fail with GPGME_Invalid_Recipients if
some recipients have been invalid, whereas earlier versions
succeeded in this case. The plaintext is still encrypted for all valid
recipients, so the application might take this error as a hint that
the ciphertext is not usable for all requested recipients.
Information about invalid recipients is available with gpgme_get_op_info.
* gpgme_op_verify now allows to pass an uninitialized data object as
its plaintext argument to check for normal and cleartext
signatures. The plaintext is then returned in the data object.
* New interfaces gpgme_set_include_certs and gpgme_get_include_certs
to set and get the number of certifications to include in S/MIME
signed messages.
* New interfaces gpgme_op_encrypt_sign and gpgme_op_encrypt_sign_start
to encrypt and sign a message in a combined operation.
* New interface gpgme_op_keylist_ext_start to search for multiple patterns.
* gpgme_key_get_ulong_attr supports the GPGME_ATTR_EXPIRE attribute.
* Interface changes relative to the 0.3.3 release:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
gpgme_op_encrypt CHANGED: Can fail with GPGME_Invalid_Recipients

Noteworthy changes in version 0.3.3 (2002-02-12)
------------------------------------------------
* Fix the Makefile in jnlib.
* Fix the test suite (hopefully). It should clean up all its state
with `make check' now.
Noteworthy changes in version 0.3.2 (2002-02-10)
------------------------------------------------
* Remove erroneous dependency on libgcrypt in jnlib.
Noteworthy changes in version 0.3.1 (2002-02-09)
------------------------------------------------
* There is a Texinfo manual documenting the API.
* The gpgme_set_keylist_mode function returns an error, and changed
its meaning. It is no longer usable to select between normal and
fast mode (newer versions of GnuPG will always be fast), but
selects between local keyring, remote keyserver, or both.
For this, two new macros are defined, GPGME_KEYLIST_MODE_LOCAL
and GPGME_KEYLIST_MODE_EXTERN. To make it possible to modify the
current setting, a fucntion gpgme_get_keylist_mode was added to
retrieve the current mode.
* gpgme_wait accepts a new argument STATUS to return the error status
of the operation on the context. Its definition is closer to
waitpid() now than before.
* The LENGTH argument to gpgme_data_new_from_filepart changed its
type from off_t to the unsigned size_t.
* The R_HD argument to the GpgmePassphraseCb type changed its type
from void* to void**.
* New interface gpgme_op_trustlist_end() to match
gpgme_op_keylist_end().
* The CryptPlug modules have been renamed to gpgme-openpgp and
gpgme-smime, and they are installed in pkglibdir by `make install'.
* An idle function can be registered with gpgme_register_idle().
* The GpgSM backend supports key generation with gpgme_op_genkey().
* Interface changes relative to the 0.3.0 release:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
gpgme_data_new_from_filepart CHANGED: Type of LENGTH is size_t.
GpgmePassphraseCb CHANGED: Type of R_HD is void **.
gpgme_wait CHANGED: New argument STATUS.
gpgme_set_keylist_mode CHANGED: Type of return value is GpgmeError.

gpgme_op_trustlist_next NEW
GpgmeIdleFunc NEW
gpgme_register_idle NEW
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Noteworthy changes in version 0.3.0 (2001-12-19)
------------------------------------------------
* New interface gpgme_set_protocol() to set the protocol and thus the
crypto engine to be used by the context. Currently, the OpenPGP
and the CMS protocols are supported. They are specified by the new
preprocessor symbols GPGME_PROTOCOL_OpenPGP and GPGME_PROTOCOL_CMS.
A new context uses the OpenPGP engine by default.
* gpgme_get_engine_info() returns information for all crypto engines
compiled into the library. The XML format has changed. To
reliably get the version of a crypto engine, the <version> tag
after the appropriate <protocol> tag has to be looked for.
* New interface gpgme_engine_check_version(), obsoleting
gpgme_check_engine(). Check the version of all engines you are
supporting in your software.
* GpgmeKey lists the user ids in the order as they are returned by
GnuPG, first the primary key with index 0, then the sub-user ids.
* New operation gpgme_op_decrypt_verify() to decrypt and verify
signatures simultaneously.
* The new interface gpgme_op_keylist_end() terminates a pending
keylist operation. A keylist operation is also terminated when
gpgme_op_keylist_next() returns GPGME_EOF.
* GPGME can be compiled without GnuPG being installed (`--with-gpg=PATH'),
cross-compiled, or even compiled without support for GnuPG
(`--without-gpg').
* GPGME can be compiled with support for GpgSM (GnuPG for S/MIME,
`--with-gpgsm=PATH'). It is enabled by default if the `gpgsm' is found
in the path, but it can also be compiled without support for GpgSM
(`--without-gpgsm').
* CryptPlug modules for GPGME are included and can be enabled at
configure time (`--enable-gpgmeplug'). There is one module which
uses the GnuPG engine (`gpgmeplug') and one module which uses the
GpgSM engine (`gpgsmplug').
* Interface changes relative to the latest 0.2.x release:

parameter needed for MOSS.
* New functions gpgme_get_armor and gpgme_get_textmode.
* The usual bug fixes and some minor functionality improvements.
* Added a simple encryption component for MS-Windows; however the
build procedure might have some problems.
Noteworthy changes in version 0.2.2 (2001-06-12)
------------------------------------------------
* Implemented a key cache.
* Fixed a race condition under W32 and some other bug fixes.
Noteworthy changes in version 0.2.1 (2001-04-02)
------------------------------------------------
* Changed debug output and GPGME_DEBUG variable (gpgme/debug.c)
* Handle GnuPG's new key capabilities output and support revocation
