 Hello!
  
 We are pleased to announce the availability of GnuPG version 1.2.1.
 This is mainly a bug fix release.
 
 The GNU Privacy Guard (GnuPG) is GNU's tool for secure communication
 and data storage.  It is a complete and free replacement of PGP and
 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 RFC2440. 
 
 GnuPG 1.2.1 can be downloaded from the GnuPG main server or one of its
 mirror sites (see below or GnuPG - WWW Mirrors). 

 These source packages are available:
 
  
  (1.8M) 
   
 
 GnuPG source compressed using BZIP2 and OpenPGP signature. 
  
  (2.5M) 
   
  
 GnuPG source compressed using GZIP and OpenPGP signature. 
  
  (374k) 
  
 A patch file to upgrade a 1.2.0 GnuPG source.  
 Select one of them. To shorten the download time, you probably want
 to get the BZIP2 compressed file.  Please try another mirror if
 exceptional your mirror is not yet up to date.
 
 We also provide one binary package build from the above source:
 
     (1.1M)
    .sig 
  GnuPG compiled for Microsoft Windows and OpenPGP signature.
  Note that this is a command line version and comes without a
  graphical installer tool.  You have to use an UNZIP utility to
  extract the files and install them manually.  The included file
  README.W32 has further instructions. 
 
 Please don't forget to check the integritry of the packages; either by
 verifying the provided signature or by comparing the MD5 checksum:

  00c9935497c69464e744bba030ce585f  gnupg-w32cli-1.2.1.zip
 
 
 Here is a list of major user visible changes since 1.2.1:
 
  * The library dependencies for OpenLDAP seem to change fairly
  frequently, and GnuPG's configure script cannot guess all the
  combinations.  Use ./configure LDAPLIBS="-L libdir -l libs" to
  override the script and use the libraries selected.
 
  * Secret keys generated with --export-secret-subkeys are now
  indicated in key listings with a '#' after the "sec", and in
  --with-colons listings by showing no capabilities (no lowercase
  characters).
 
  * --trusted-key has been un-obsoleted, as it is useful for adding
  ultimately trusted keys from the config file.  It is identical
  to using --edit and "trust" to change a key to ultimately
  trusted.
 
  * The usual bug fixes as well as fixes to build problems on some
  systems.
 
 
 Many thanks to Swebase AB for now hosting ftp.gnupg.org.
 
 
 Happy Hacking,
 
   The GnuPG team (David, Stefan, Timo and Werner)
