1 gpgdir-1.9.2 (08/31/2008):
2     - Added new modes '--sign <dir>' and '--verify <dir>' to allow all files
3       in the specified directory to be signed or verified instead of encrypted
4       or decrypted.  All GnuPG signatures are created as "<file>.asc", and the
5       original file is not removed in --sign mode.  In --verify mode, if any
6       file does not match the expected .asc signature, then a warning like the
7       following will be generated:
8
9         [+] Verifying:  /home/mbr/src/gpgdir/test/data-dir/multi-line-ascii.asc
10         [GNUPG:] BADSIG 9EDEEEEBA742EEEF Some User <someuser@domain.org>
11
12     - Bugfix to not die() when files that are encrypted with a different GnuPG
13       key are encountered in a directory that is being decrypted. A warning
14       message (see below) is now generated and the file is skipped:
15
16       [+] Decrypting:  /home/mbr/tmp/gpgdir/a.gpg
17       [GNUPG:] BAD_PASSPHRASE CF16F0FCFFF3FF4F
18       [-] Skipping file encrypted with different GnuPG key: a.gpg
19
20     - Updated to use the status output from GnuPG::Interface to detect a bad
21       passphrase and whether a file is encrypted with the expected GnuPG key.
22     - Moved the GnuPG::Interface, Class::MethodMaker, and Term::ReadKey
23       modules to the deps/ directory, and updated the installer and RPM spec
24       file to account for the path change.  This change was suggested by
25       Franck Joncourt for the other cipherdyne.org projects.
26     - Updated the test suite to generate files in the output/ directory
27       according to test number and append the result of each test within each
28       file.  This makes it easy to tell which tests have failed with a simple
29       'grep fail output/*test'.
30     - Added the gpgdir-nodeps.spec file to allow an RPM to be built that does
31       not contain any perl modules dependencies.
32     - Updated gpgdir to import perl modules via 'require' statements instead
33       of 'use' statements so that the path to the modules directory can be
34       changed via the --Lib-dir command line argument.  Also updated to use
35       the 'auto' heuristic (first implemented in the fwknop project) to detect
36       perl module directories that should be used in the --Lib-dir directory
37       to import perl modules from.
38
39 gpgdir-1.9.1 (06/07/2008):
40     - Updated to Class::MethodMaker 2.11 from CPAN.  This helps with systems
41       running perl-5.10.0 and greater (such as Fedora 9).
42     - Updated to always set the LC_ALL environmental variable to the "C"
43       locale.  This can be set to other locales with a new argument --locale,
44       or the default locale can be used by using --no-locale argument.
45
46 gpgdir-1.9 (05/31/2008):
47     - Changed --Obfuscate-filenames format to not include the gpgdir PID.
48       This allows directories to be encrypted/decrypted under -O multiple
49       times without creating new filenames (which would pollute encrypted
50       directories under rsync to other systems).  The new -O encrypted
51       filename format is just "gpgdir_<num>.gpg".
52     - Added PID locking against directories so that multiple gpgdir processes
53       cannot operate against the same top-level directory simultaneously.
54       This is useful for users that typically operate with multiple shells
55       and might launch gpgdir from any of them.
56
57 gpgdir-1.8 (04/04/2008):
58     - Updated the test suite to validate the gpgdir --Obfuscate-filenames
59       mode to ensure that files are encrypted as "gpgdir_<pid>_<num>.gpg".
60     - Minor bug fix to remove the .gpgdir_map_file in --Obfuscate-filenames
61       mode after a successful decryption cycle.
62     - Updated to version 0.36 of CPAN GnuPG::Interface module.
63
64 gpgdir-1.7 (02/18/2008):
65     - Bugfix to ensure that encrypted directories can actually be decrypted.
66       This bug was reported by Per Ronny Westin.
67     - Updated to use the ".asc" extension for encrypted files in --Plain-ascii
68       mode.
69     - Added gpgdir test suite.  All future gpgdir releases (and including this
70       1.7 release) require that all gpgdir tests pass on the systems where
71       gpgdir is developed.
72
73 gpgdir-1.6 (02/17/2008):
74     - Bugfix to not include previously encrypted files (i.e. those with a .gpg
75       extension) in the encryption/decryption file list.  This bug was
76       introduced in gpgdir-1.5 when a change was made to ignore ascii-armored
77       files.
78     - Added added LC_ALL=C locale setting for the install.pl script (this
79       should help to ensure gpgdir is properly installed on most systems). Two
80       new command line arguments --LC_ALL and --no-LC_ALL also allow the
81       locale setting to be changed or not used at all.
82     - Added --Exclude-mod-regex option to the install.pl script so that it is
83       possible to force the exclusion of perl modules that gpgdir would
84       normally install. This is useful for ensuring that gpgdir references
85       perl modules that are already installed in the system perl library tree
86       instead of using those that are installed in /usr/lib/gpgdir.
87     - Updated to display command line usage warnings without automatically
88       displaying the entire usage() page (which is quite long).
89
90 gpgdir-1.5 (08/31/2007):
91     - Added the --Symmetric option so that files can be encrypted/decrypted
92       via a symmetric encryption algorithm (GnuPG commonly uses CAST5 for
93       this).
94     - Added the --Plain-ascii option so that GnuPG is invoked with the -a
95       option so that encrypted files are ascii armored instead of encrypted in
96       binary form.
97     - Bugfix to ensure not to delete zero-size files if a bad password is
98       given (gpgdir now just throws a warning and exits in this case).
99     - Minor code enhancements to provide a consistent hash_init() invocation
100       with the same options hash.
101     - Updated to exclude .asc files from the encryption/decryption process.
102
103 gpgdir-1.4 (07/20/2007):
104     - (Anthony Chivetta) Submitted patch to implement the
105       --overwrite-encrypted command line argument to allow previously
106       encrypted files to be overwritten. This is useful for updating an
107       encrypted directory with new versions of the previously encrypted files.
108       Also added the --overwrite-decrypted command line argument to perform
109       the same function for previously decrypted files.
110     - (Anthony Chivetta) Submitted patch to fix a bug where a filename of
111       "0.gpg" could not be decrypted because "0" does not evaluate to a true
112       value.
113
114 gpgdir-1.3 (06/09/2007):
115     - Added --Obfuscate mode so that the files within a directory can be
116       altered into unrecognizable names (which are stored within the file
117       .gpgdir_map_file within each sub-directory, and this file is itself
118       encrypted).  The obfuscated file names are reversed when a directory
119       is decrypted.
120     - Added the --Agent-info command line argument so that the value of the
121       GPG_AGENT_INFO environment variable can be specified on the gpgdir
122       command line.
123
124 gpgdir-1.2 (05/28/2007):
125     - Added support for installing gpgdir on Windows under Cygwin (via the
126       install.pl script). Installing gpgdir on FreeBSD systems also works.
127     - Added support for installing gpgdir within a user home directory without
128       the need for root access (this requires installing gpgdir with the
129       install.pl script).
130     - Added --agent to have gpgdir acquire gpg key password from a running
131       gpg-agent instance.
132     - Added --no-password so gpgdir can use a gpg key with no associated
133       password (this is not common).  The user is not prompted for a password
134       in this case.
135
136 gpgdir-1.1 (05/21/2007):
137     - Added the ability to securely delete the original versions of files with
138       the 'wipe' program (after they have been successfully encrypted).  Also
139       added --wipe-path to specify a path to the wipe binary (the default is
140       /usr/bin/wipe), --wipe-interactive to force the wipe program to prompt
141       the user before a file is deleted, and --wipe-cmdline to allow the user
142       to build a set of command line arguments that are passed to the wipe
143       program.
144     - Added --Force to have gpgdir skip over the error condition where a file
145       cannot be deleted (because of a permissions issue for example).
146     - Added --Trial-run to allow the user to see what actions gpgdir would
147       take to encrypt or decrypt files, but no files are actually modified.
148     - Added --Interactive to have gpgdir prompt the user before every file is
149       encrypted, decrypted.
150     - Added the gpgdir.SlackBuild script (contributed by pyllyukko originally
151       for the psad project) for building gpgdir on Slackware systems.
152
153 gpgdir-1.0.3 (09/17/2006):
154     - Minor bugfix to correct 1.0.1 version number (which should have been set
155       to 1.0.2) in the gpgdir RPM spec file.
156
157 gpgdir-1.0.2 (09/17/2006):
158     - Minor bugfix to correct 1.0 version number (which should have been set
159       to 1.0.1).  The result is the 1.0.2 release.
160
161 gpgdir-1.0.1 (09/16/2006):
162     - Added --quiet option to have gpgdir print as little as possible to the
163       screen when encrypting or decrypting a directory.
164     - Added x86_64 RPM (original patch from Mate Wierdl adapted for gpgdir).
165
166 gpgdir-1.0 (09/13/2006):
167     - Added --Key-id command line argument so that use_key can be overridden
168       from the command line
169     - Made the argument to use_key not have to strictly be a keyID since GnuPG
170       allows a unique string match on keys in the key ring
171     - Added --Default-key to allow the user to have gpgdir use the default
172       key that is defined by GnuPG within the ~/.gnupg/options file.
173     - Updated the .gpgdirrc file to include the line "default_key" to allow
174       the user to have gpgdir prefer to use the GnuPG default key.
175     - Added the ChangeLog.svn file to show exactly which files have been
176       changed from release to release, and what the corresponding Subversion
177       log messages are.
178     - Minor documentation updates.
179
180 gpgdir-0.9.9 (09/07/2006):
181     - Added RPM .spec file to build gpgdir as an RPM.
182     - Added the --Skip-mod-install command line argument to install.pl to
183       allow all perl module installs to be skipped.
184     - Added the --force-mod-regex command line argument to install.pl to allow
185       a regex match on perl module names to force matching modules to be
186       installed.
187     - Updated to TermReadKey-2.30 from 2.21.
188
189 gpgdir-0.9.8 (07/03/2006):
190     - Updated to use GnuPG::Interface instead of GnuPG module.  This should
191       fix the incompatibility issues seen between the GnuPG module and some
192       GnuPG installations.
193     - Added perl module installation code from fwknop (see
194       http://www.cipherdyne.org/fwknop/).  This allows gpgdir to
195       preferentially use any perl modules that are already be installed on the
196       system.
197
198 gpgdir-0.9.4 (10/12/2005):
199     - Updated test mode to encrypt and decrypt a testing file within the
200       directory to be encrypted or decrypted.  This file is located at
201       <dir>/gpgdir_test, and is removed after the test is completed.
202     - Bugfix for "protocol error: expected SHM_GET_XXX got GOOD_PASSPHRASE"
203       error in GnuPG module.
204
205 gpgdir-0.9.3 (02/20/2005):
206     - Added --Include and --Include-from options to allow inclusion
207       regular expressions to be specified.
208     - Bugfix for not decrypting filesnames that contain spaces.
209
210 gpgdir-0.9.2 (01/05/2005):
211     - Added preservation of file mtime and atime values (may be disabled
212       with the --no-preserve-times option).
213     - Added testing encryption and decryption of dummy file (may be
214       disabled with --skip-test) by default for both encrypt and decrypt
215       modes.
216     - Added --test-mode to run encrypt -> decrypt test and exit.
217     - Removed unnecessary compression options.
218     - Updated get_homedir() to reference HOME environmental variable if
219       the /etc/passwd file does not exist (OS X being a good example).
220     - Added --verbose mode.
221     - Updated output to generate errors on a per-file basis instead of
222       dumping them at the end of an encrypt/decrypt operation.
223
224 gpgdir-0.9.1 (11/11/2004):
225     - Updated GnuPG.pm perl module to handle return code of PLAINTEXT
226       which seems to be returned by GunPG now (as of version 1.2.6)
227       instead of DECRYPTION_OKAY upon a successful decryption.
228
229 gpgdir-0.9 (09/12/2004):
230     - Added --gnupg-dir option to allow a user to specify a different
231       user's .gnupg directory for encryption keys.
232     - Switched to "[+]" (and related) message prefixes.
233
234 gpgdir-0.8 (05/29/2004):
235     - Added --Exclude and --Exclude-from options to allow files to be
236       excluded based on regex matches.
237     - Reworked error messages so they contain the filename associated
238       with each error.
239
240 gpgdir-0.4 (04/23/2004):
241     - Added --pw-file option so that a decryption password can be
242       read out of a file.
243     - Better directory validation (filesystem -e and -d checks).
244     - Added INSTALL file.
245     - Updated man page and README file.
246
247 gpgdir-0.3 (09/27/2003):
248     - Bundled perl modules GnuPG and TermReadKey with gpgdir.
249     - Modified install.pl and gpgdir to install and use GnuPG and
250       TermReadKey modules from the /usr/lib/gpgdir directory.
251     - Added check_commands() subroutine from psad.
