Line 
1 gpgdir-1.8 (04/04/2008):
2     - Updated the test suite to validate the gpgdir --Obfuscate-filenames
3       mode to ensure that files are encrypted as "gpgdir_<pid>_<num>.gpg".
4     - Minor bug fix to remove the .gpgdir_map_file in --Obfuscate-filenames
5       mode after a successful decryption cycle.
6     - Updated to version 0.36 of CPAN GnuPG::Interface module.
7
8 gpgdir-1.7 (02/18/2008):
9     - Bugfix to ensure that encrypted directories can actually be decrypted.
10       This bug was reported by Per Ronny Westin.
11     - Updated to use the ".asc" extension for encrypted files in --Plain-ascii
12       mode.
13     - Added gpgdir test suite.  All future gpgdir releases (and including this
14       1.7 release) require that all gpgdir tests pass on the systems where
15       gpgdir is developed.
16
17 gpgdir-1.6 (02/17/2008):
18     - Bugfix to not include previously encrypted files (i.e. those with a .gpg
19       extension) in the encryption/decryption file list.  This bug was
20       introduced in gpgdir-1.5 when a change was made to ignore ascii-armored
21       files.
22     - Added added LC_ALL=C locale setting for the install.pl script (this
23       should help to ensure gpgdir is properly installed on most systems). Two
24       new command line arguments --LC_ALL and --no-LC_ALL also allow the
25       locale setting to be changed or not used at all.
26     - Added --Exclude-mod-regex option to the install.pl script so that it is
27       possible to force the exclusion of perl modules that gpgdir would
28       normally install. This is useful for ensuring that gpgdir references
29       perl modules that are already installed in the system perl library tree
30       instead of using those that are installed in /usr/lib/gpgdir.
31     - Updated to display command line usage warnings without automatically
32       displaying the entire usage() page (which is quite long).
33
34 gpgdir-1.5 (08/31/2007):
35     - Added the --Symmetric option so that files can be encrypted/decrypted
36       via a symmetric encryption algorithm (GnuPG commonly uses CAST5 for
37       this).
38     - Added the --Plain-ascii option so that GnuPG is invoked with the -a
39       option so that encrypted files are ascii armored instead of encrypted in
40       binary form.
41     - Bugfix to ensure not to delete zero-size files if a bad password is
42       given (gpgdir now just throws a warning and exits in this case).
43     - Minor code enhancements to provide a consistent hash_init() invocation
44       with the same options hash.
45     - Updated to exclude .asc files from the encryption/decryption process.
46
47 gpgdir-1.4 (07/20/2007):
48     - (Anthony Chivetta) Submitted patch to implement the
49       --overwrite-encrypted command line argument to allow previously
50       encrypted files to be overwritten. This is useful for updating an
51       encrypted directory with new versions of the previously encrypted files.
52       Also added the --overwrite-decrypted command line argument to perform
53       the same function for previously decrypted files.
54     - (Anthony Chivetta) Submitted patch to fix a bug where a filename of
55       "0.gpg" could not be decrypted because "0" does not evaluate to a true
56       value.
57
58 gpgdir-1.3 (06/09/2007):
59     - Added --Obfuscate mode so that the files within a directory can be
60       altered into unrecognizable names (which are stored within the file
61       .gpgdir_map_file within each sub-directory, and this file is itself
62       encrypted).  The obfuscated file names are reversed when a directory
63       is decrypted.
64     - Added the --Agent-info command line argument so that the value of the
65       GPG_AGENT_INFO environment variable can be specified on the gpgdir
66       command line.
67
68 gpgdir-1.2 (05/28/2007):
69     - Added support for installing gpgdir on Windows under Cygwin (via the
70       install.pl script). Installing gpgdir on FreeBSD systems also works.
71     - Added support for installing gpgdir within a user home directory without
72       the need for root access (this requires installing gpgdir with the
73       install.pl script).
74     - Added --agent to have gpgdir acquire gpg key password from a running
75       gpg-agent instance.
76     - Added --no-password so gpgdir can use a gpg key with no associated
77       password (this is not common).  The user is not prompted for a password
78       in this case.
79
80 gpgdir-1.1 (05/21/2007):
81     - Added the ability to securely delete the original versions of files with
82       the 'wipe' program (after they have been successfully encrypted).  Also
83       added --wipe-path to specify a path to the wipe binary (the default is
84       /usr/bin/wipe), --wipe-interactive to force the wipe program to prompt
85       the user before a file is deleted, and --wipe-cmdline to allow the user
86       to build a set of command line arguments that are passed to the wipe
87       program.
88     - Added --Force to have gpgdir skip over the error condition where a file
89       cannot be deleted (because of a permissions issue for example).
90     - Added --Trial-run to allow the user to see what actions gpgdir would
91       take to encrypt or decrypt files, but no files are actually modified.
92     - Added --Interactive to have gpgdir prompt the user before every file is
93       encrypted, decrypted.
94     - Added the gpgdir.SlackBuild script (contributed by pyllyukko originally
95       for the psad project) for building gpgdir on Slackware systems.
96
97 gpgdir-1.0.3 (09/17/2006):
98     - Minor bugfix to correct 1.0.1 version number (which should have been set
99       to 1.0.2) in the gpgdir RPM spec file.
100
101 gpgdir-1.0.2 (09/17/2006):
102     - Minor bugfix to correct 1.0 version number (which should have been set
103       to 1.0.1).  The result is the 1.0.2 release.
104
105 gpgdir-1.0.1 (09/16/2006):
106     - Added --quiet option to have gpgdir print as little as possible to the
107       screen when encrypting or decrypting a directory.
108     - Added x86_64 RPM (original patch from Mate Wierdl adapted for gpgdir).
109
110 gpgdir-1.0 (09/13/2006):
111     - Added --Key-id command line argument so that use_key can be overridden
112       from the command line
113     - Made the argument to use_key not have to strictly be a keyID since GnuPG
114       allows a unique string match on keys in the key ring
115     - Added --Default-key to allow the user to have gpgdir use the default
116       key that is defined by GnuPG within the ~/.gnupg/options file.
117     - Updated the .gpgdirrc file to include the line "default_key" to allow
118       the user to have gpgdir prefer to use the GnuPG default key.
119     - Added the ChangeLog.svn file to show exactly which files have been
120       changed from release to release, and what the corresponding Subversion
121       log messages are.
122     - Minor documentation updates.
123
124 gpgdir-0.9.9 (09/07/2006):
125     - Added RPM .spec file to build gpgdir as an RPM.
126     - Added the --Skip-mod-install command line argument to install.pl to
127       allow all perl module installs to be skipped.
128     - Added the --force-mod-regex command line argument to install.pl to allow
129       a regex match on perl module names to force matching modules to be
130       installed.
131     - Updated to TermReadKey-2.30 from 2.21.
132
133 gpgdir-0.9.8 (07/03/2006):
134     - Updated to use GnuPG::Interface instead of GnuPG module.  This should
135       fix the incompatibility issues seen between the GnuPG module and some
136       GnuPG installations.
137     - Added perl module installation code from fwknop (see
138       http://www.cipherdyne.org/fwknop/).  This allows gpgdir to
139       preferentially use any perl modules that are already be installed on the
140       system.
141
142 gpgdir-0.9.4 (10/12/2005):
143     - Updated test mode to encrypt and decrypt a testing file within the
144       directory to be encrypted or decrypted.  This file is located at
145       <dir>/gpgdir_test, and is removed after the test is completed.
146     - Bugfix for "protocol error: expected SHM_GET_XXX got GOOD_PASSPHRASE"
147       error in GnuPG module.
148
149 gpgdir-0.9.3 (02/20/2005):
150     - Added --Include and --Include-from options to allow inclusion
151       regular expressions to be specified.
152     - Bugfix for not decrypting filesnames that contain spaces.
153
154 gpgdir-0.9.2 (01/05/2005):
155     - Added preservation of file mtime and atime values (may be disabled
156       with the --no-preserve-times option).
157     - Added testing encryption and decryption of dummy file (may be
158       disabled with --skip-test) by default for both encrypt and decrypt
159       modes.
160     - Added --test-mode to run encrypt -> decrypt test and exit.
161     - Removed unnecessary compression options.
162     - Updated get_homedir() to reference HOME environmental variable if
163       the /etc/passwd file does not exist (OS X being a good example).
164     - Added --verbose mode.
165     - Updated output to generate errors on a per-file basis instead of
166       dumping them at the end of an encrypt/decrypt operation.
167
168 gpgdir-0.9.1 (11/11/2004):
169     - Updated GnuPG.pm perl module to handle return code of PLAINTEXT
170       which seems to be returned by GunPG now (as of version 1.2.6)
171       instead of DECRYPTION_OKAY upon a successful decryption.
172
173 gpgdir-0.9 (09/12/2004):
174     - Added --gnupg-dir option to allow a user to specify a different
175       user's .gnupg directory for encryption keys.
176     - Switched to "[+]" (and related) message prefixes.
177
178 gpgdir-0.8 (05/29/2004):
179     - Added --Exclude and --Exclude-from options to allow files to be
180       excluded based on regex matches.
181     - Reworked error messages so they contain the filename associated
182       with each error.
183
184 gpgdir-0.4 (04/23/2004):
185     - Added --pw-file option so that a decryption password can be
186       read out of a file.
187     - Better directory validation (filesystem -e and -d checks).
188     - Added INSTALL file.
189     - Updated man page and README file.
190
191 gpgdir-0.3 (09/27/2003):
192     - Bundled perl modules GnuPG and TermReadKey with gpgdir.
193     - Modified install.pl and gpgdir to install and use GnuPG and
194       TermReadKey modules from the /usr/lib/gpgdir directory.
195     - Added check_commands() subroutine from psad.
