== Gpg4win 3.0 stable (~End of August 2017) * Stable GnuPG 2.2 integration (with ECC support and ~H~T~T~P~S), ~TOFU trust model and WKD/WKS support. * Kleopatra: ** Autodetect file contents and treat them accordingly (e.g. If a .gpg file is a cert import it. Or if encrypted decrypt it.) ** Rework Sign/Encrypt files dialog to reduce steps and make certificate selection easier / better. ** Rework Decrypt/Verify files dialog to have only one step and select automatic handling. ** Rework key list to include aliases for email addresses when filtering. ** Add more options to show in keylist, especially UID validity. ** Support TOFU trust model in dialogs. ** OpenPGP Smartcard Management ** Paperkey export/import (print secret key). ** Add input field like GPA's clipboard. ** Generally improve clipboard behavior (2.3.x versions sometimes missdetect) ** Based on KDE Frameworks 5: many UI improvements and additional localizations. ** No more need for dbus, kbuildsycoca and wrapper script to start Kleopatra. ** Add setting to Sign/Encrypt folder contents. ** Improve first start (provide key import or key pair generation). ** Integrate Gpg4win compendium for Windows and improve help buttons. ** Support new automatic key lookup options in Kleopatra (WKD). * GpgOL: ** Stable MIME support ** No persistent modifications to email items. (Also fixing random crash on MIME Mail send.) ** Support for Outlooks' inline editor in message list. ** Optional support for PGP/Inline messages. ** Show if message was encrypted directly in Outlook (no more popup) ** Show signature details directly in Outlook (no more popup) ** Support for HTML / multipart alternative emails ** Improve error handling ** Full support for MS Exchange (and EAS) >= 2010. ** Improve signature display and Status (no more popup!) ** Enable support for sending HTML emails. ** Move decryption in a background thread (no more blocking Outlook). ** Improve "Fluent UI" scaling ** Preselect Sign/Encrypt on reply or forward based on email status. ** Support new automatic key lookup options in GnuPG (WKD). * GpgEX: ** Reduce available options (thanks to autodetection). * Gpg4win installer: ** Show usage hints during installation (some pictures / icons). ** Reduce steps by default. Enable "customized install". ** Allow installation as normal user. ** Register File Extensions / MIME Types for Gpg4win (.asc, .gpg, .sig, .key,.. etc (and the X509 extensions)) * General: ** Gpg4win update notification == Gpg4win 3.1.x (Q3-Q4 2017) * contains security and bug fixes == Gpg4win 3.1 (Q1 2018) * GpgOL ** Remove support for Outlook 2003/2007 (Micrsofts' Extended Support ends 2017-12-31). * more features ... |
* Authenticated encryption support for S/MIME in Gpg~S~M * Better Microsoft Exchange / GAL integration for GpgOL (fingerprints and encryption info as attributes in the GAL) * Further improvements to automated encryption -> default on. * Usability and automation improvements * One focus is improved hardware token support (Yubikey, GnuK-Token) and for the GnuK-Token to improve availability in [[https://dev.gnupg.org/T4363|Europe]]. |
