Hi!
We are pleased to announce the availability of Dirmngr
version 1.0.0.
Dirmngr is a server for managing and downloading certificate
revocation lists (CRLs) for X.509 certificates and for
downloading the
certificates themselves. Dirmngr also handles OCSP requests
as an
alternative to CRLs. Dirmngr is either invoked internally
by gpgsm
(from GnuPG-2) or when running as a system daemon through
the
dirmngr-client tool.

Dirmngr comes with man pages and as well as with a texinfo
based
manual. Run "info dirmngr" to read the manual or
run
make -C doc dirmngr.pdf
to build a printable version. If you have questions on the
use of
Dirmngr, feel free to ask at gnupg-users gnupg.org.
Support
=======
Improving Dirmngr is costly, but you can help! We are
looking for
organizations that find Dirmngr useful and wish to
contribute back.
You can contribute by reporting bugs, improve the software,
or by
donating money.
Commercial support contracts for Dirmngr are available, and
they help
finance continued maintenance. g10 Code GmbH, a Duesseldorf
based
company owned and headed by GnuPG's principal author, is
currently
funding Dirmngr development. We are always looking for
interesting
development projects.

Thanks
======
We have to thank all the people who helped with this
release. In
particular Steffen Hansen who wrote the initial version and
the folks
at Intevation GmbH who helped a lot by providing
infrastructure for
testing and development.
Happy Hacking,
Werner
