Gpg4win 1.0.6 released

Hi!

We are pleased to announce the availibility of Gpg4win,
version 1.0.6.

* This version updates several packages and fixes some minor
bugs.

* Please make sure to subscribe to the new gpg4win
announcement
  mailing list.  We will soon stop to cross post
announcements to the
  general GnuPG annoucement list.  See:

About Gpg4win
-------------

The Gpg4win project aims at updating the Gpg4win Windows
installation
package with GnuPG encryption tool, associated applications
and
documentation on a regular basis.  Especially the
documentation
(handbooks "Einsteiger" and
"Durchblicker") are directly maintained as
part of the gpg4win project.

It is an international project. Due to the origin of the
project the
German language is fully supported.  As of now the the
handbooks are
only available in German.  People helping with translations
are very
welcome!

The main difference compared to all other similar approaches
(mainly
GnuPP, GnuPT, Windows Privacy Tools and GnuPG-Basics) is
that the
first thing developed was the Gpg4win-Builder. This builder
allows
to easily create new gpg4win.exe installers with updated
components.

The builder runs on any decent Unix system, preferable
Debian
GNU/Linux.  Almost all products are automatically
cross-compiled for
integration into the installer.

With this concept it is hoped to prevent quick aging of the
installer
package. This is due to easier updating and less dependancy
on single
developers.

Installation
------------

For installation instructions, please visit http://www.gpg4win.org or
read on.

Developers who want to *build an installer* need to get the
following
files from http://w
ald.intevation.org/projects/gpg4win/ :

  gpg4win-1.0.6.tar.bz2 (4.1M)
  gpg4win-1.0.6.tar.bz2.sig

The second file is a digital signature of the the first
file.  Either
check that this signature is fine or compare with the
checksums given
below.  (see also ht
tp://www.gnupg.org/download/integrity_check.html)

The *ready to use installer* is available at:

  http://ftp.g
pg4win.org/gpg4win-1.0.6.exe  (6.4M)
  http://f
tp.gpg4win.org/gpg4win-1.0.6.exe.sig

Or using the ftp protocol at:

  ftp://ftp.gpg4win.org/gpg4win/gpg4win-1.0.6.exe  (6.4M)
  ftp://ftp.gpg4win.org/gpg4win/gpg4win-1.0.6.exe.sig

SHA1 and MD5 checksums for these files are given below.

If you don't need the manuals, you might alternatively
download the
"light" version of the installer:

  http:/
/ftp.gpg4win.org/gpg4win-light-1.0.6.exe  (4.7M)
  ht
tp://ftp.gpg4win.org/gpg4win-light-1.0.6.exe.sig

or using FTP at:

  ftp://ftp.gpg4win.org/gpg4win/gpg4win-1.0.6.exe  (4.7M)
  ftp://ftp.gpg4win.org/gpg4win/gpg4win-1.0.6.exe.sig


A separate installer with the the sources used to build the
above
installer is available at:

  ftp://ftp.gpg4win.org/gpg4win/gpg4win-src-1.0.6.exe  (43M)
  ftp://ftp.gpg4win.org/gpg4win/gpg4win-src-1.0.6.exe.sig

Most people don't need this source installer; it is merely
stored on
that server to satisfy the conditions of the GPL.  In
general it is
better to get the gpg4win builder tarball (see above) and
follow the
instructions in the README to build new installers; building
the
installer is not possible on Windows machines and works best
on
current Debian GNU/Linux systems (we use the mingw32 package
from
Sid).

SHA1 checksums are:

1917fcc7cb43ea06d63e390595fcaa6e9c623e0f  gpg4win-1.0.6.exe
236c8f0de199b093f46c1d32eb5ccad6ea496079 
gpg4win-light-1.0.6.exe

gpg4win-src-1.0.6.exe
bbfc08e5ec9532e4b87dc6be74cb6c5a5ad84139 
gpg4win-1.0.6.tar.bz2


MD5 checksums are:

2e7eee38a33cf5402039f32d574e6449  gpg4win-1.0.6.exe
b2988a83553a22f32f840e2bd2048734  gpg4win-light-1.0.6.exe
6e33ad8ef1783d6d65ad84e1d87d1fe0  gpg4win-src-1.0.6.exe
3489d10a84816072c72f6bd6338a867e  gpg4win-1.0.6.tar.bz2


We like to thank the authors of the included packages, the
NSIS
authors, all other contributors and first of all, those
folks who
stayed with us and tested the early releases of gpg4win.

To help furthering this project, please consider to sponsor
the
development.  See http://www.gpg4win.org .


Happy hacking,

  Jan, Marcus, Timo and Werner
