1gpgdir-1.9.3 (11/05/2008):
2    - Bugfix for using -f instead of -I for non-interactive file erasure
3      (Franck Joncourt).
4    - Simplified test suite code by creating a set of default arguments for
5      the gpgdir command line as each test is executed.
6
7gpgdir-1.9.2 (08/31/2008):
8    - Added new modes '--sign <dir>' and '--verify <dir>' to allow all files
9      in the specified directory to be signed or verified instead of encrypted
10      or decrypted.  All GnuPG signatures are created as "<file>.asc", and the
11      original file is not removed in --sign mode.  In --verify mode, if any
12      file does not match the expected .asc signature, then a warning like the
13      following will be generated:
14
15        [+] Verifying:  /home/mbr/src/gpgdir/test/data-dir/multi-line-ascii.asc
16        [GNUPG:] BADSIG 9EDEEEEBA742EEEF Some User <someuser@domain.org>
17
18    - Bugfix to not die() when files that are encrypted with a different GnuPG
19      key are encountered in a directory that is being decrypted. A warning
20      message (see below) is now generated and the file is skipped:
21
22      [+] Decrypting:  /home/mbr/tmp/gpgdir/a.gpg
23      [GNUPG:] BAD_PASSPHRASE CF16F0FCFFF3FF4F
24      [-] Skipping file encrypted with different GnuPG key: a.gpg
25
26    - Updated to use the status output from GnuPG::Interface to detect a bad
27      passphrase and whether a file is encrypted with the expected GnuPG key.
28    - Moved the GnuPG::Interface, Class::MethodMaker, and Term::ReadKey
29      modules to the deps/ directory, and updated the installer and RPM spec
30      file to account for the path change.  This change was suggested by
31      Franck Joncourt for the other cipherdyne.org projects.
32    - Updated the test suite to generate files in the output/ directory
33      according to test number and append the result of each test within each
34      file.  This makes it easy to tell which tests have failed with a simple
35      'grep fail output/*test'.
36    - Added the gpgdir-nodeps.spec file to allow an RPM to be built that does
37      not contain any perl modules dependencies.
38    - Updated gpgdir to import perl modules via 'require' statements instead
39      of 'use' statements so that the path to the modules directory can be
40      changed via the --Lib-dir command line argument.  Also updated to use
41      the 'auto' heuristic (first implemented in the fwknop project) to detect
42      perl module directories that should be used in the --Lib-dir directory
43      to import perl modules from.
44
45gpgdir-1.9.1 (06/07/2008):
46    - Updated to Class::MethodMaker 2.11 from CPAN.  This helps with systems
47      running perl-5.10.0 and greater (such as Fedora 9).
48    - Updated to always set the LC_ALL environmental variable to the "C"
49      locale.  This can be set to other locales with a new argument --locale,
50      or the default locale can be used by using --no-locale argument.
51
52gpgdir-1.9 (05/31/2008):
53    - Changed --Obfuscate-filenames format to not include the gpgdir PID.
54      This allows directories to be encrypted/decrypted under -O multiple
55      times without creating new filenames (which would pollute encrypted
56      directories under rsync to other systems).  The new -O encrypted
57      filename format is just "gpgdir_<num>.gpg".
58    - Added PID locking against directories so that multiple gpgdir processes
59      cannot operate against the same top-level directory simultaneously.
60      This is useful for users that typically operate with multiple shells
61      and might launch gpgdir from any of them.
62
63gpgdir-1.8 (04/04/2008):
64    - Updated the test suite to validate the gpgdir --Obfuscate-filenames
65      mode to ensure that files are encrypted as "gpgdir_<pid>_<num>.gpg".
66    - Minor bug fix to remove the .gpgdir_map_file in --Obfuscate-filenames
67      mode after a successful decryption cycle.
68    - Updated to version 0.36 of CPAN GnuPG::Interface module.
69
70gpgdir-1.7 (02/18/2008):
71    - Bugfix to ensure that encrypted directories can actually be decrypted.
72      This bug was reported by Per Ronny Westin.
73    - Updated to use the ".asc" extension for encrypted files in --Plain-ascii
74      mode.
75    - Added gpgdir test suite.  All future gpgdir releases (and including this
76      1.7 release) require that all gpgdir tests pass on the systems where
77      gpgdir is developed.
78
79gpgdir-1.6 (02/17/2008):
80    - Bugfix to not include previously encrypted files (i.e. those with a .gpg
81      extension) in the encryption/decryption file list.  This bug was
82      introduced in gpgdir-1.5 when a change was made to ignore ascii-armored
83      files.
84    - Added added LC_ALL=C locale setting for the install.pl script (this
85      should help to ensure gpgdir is properly installed on most systems). Two
86      new command line arguments --LC_ALL and --no-LC_ALL also allow the
87      locale setting to be changed or not used at all.
88    - Added --Exclude-mod-regex option to the install.pl script so that it is
89      possible to force the exclusion of perl modules that gpgdir would
90      normally install. This is useful for ensuring that gpgdir references
91      perl modules that are already installed in the system perl library tree
92      instead of using those that are installed in /usr/lib/gpgdir.
93    - Updated to display command line usage warnings without automatically
94      displaying the entire usage() page (which is quite long).
95
96gpgdir-1.5 (08/31/2007):
97    - Added the --Symmetric option so that files can be encrypted/decrypted
98      via a symmetric encryption algorithm (GnuPG commonly uses CAST5 for
99      this).
100    - Added the --Plain-ascii option so that GnuPG is invoked with the -a
101      option so that encrypted files are ascii armored instead of encrypted in
102      binary form.
103    - Bugfix to ensure not to delete zero-size files if a bad password is
104      given (gpgdir now just throws a warning and exits in this case).
105    - Minor code enhancements to provide a consistent hash_init() invocation
106      with the same options hash.
107    - Updated to exclude .asc files from the encryption/decryption process.
108
109gpgdir-1.4 (07/20/2007):
110    - (Anthony Chivetta) Submitted patch to implement the
111      --overwrite-encrypted command line argument to allow previously
112      encrypted files to be overwritten. This is useful for updating an
113      encrypted directory with new versions of the previously encrypted files.
114      Also added the --overwrite-decrypted command line argument to perform
115      the same function for previously decrypted files.
116    - (Anthony Chivetta) Submitted patch to fix a bug where a filename of
117      "0.gpg" could not be decrypted because "0" does not evaluate to a true
118      value.
119
120gpgdir-1.3 (06/09/2007):
121    - Added --Obfuscate mode so that the files within a directory can be
122      altered into unrecognizable names (which are stored within the file
123      .gpgdir_map_file within each sub-directory, and this file is itself
124      encrypted).  The obfuscated file names are reversed when a directory
125      is decrypted.
126    - Added the --Agent-info command line argument so that the value of the
127      GPG_AGENT_INFO environment variable can be specified on the gpgdir
128      command line.
129
130gpgdir-1.2 (05/28/2007):
131    - Added support for installing gpgdir on Windows under Cygwin (via the
132      install.pl script). Installing gpgdir on FreeBSD systems also works.
133    - Added support for installing gpgdir within a user home directory without
134      the need for root access (this requires installing gpgdir with the
135      install.pl script).
136    - Added --agent to have gpgdir acquire gpg key password from a running
137      gpg-agent instance.
138    - Added --no-password so gpgdir can use a gpg key with no associated
139      password (this is not common).  The user is not prompted for a password
140      in this case.
141
142gpgdir-1.1 (05/21/2007):
143    - Added the ability to securely delete the original versions of files with
144      the 'wipe' program (after they have been successfully encrypted).  Also
145      added --wipe-path to specify a path to the wipe binary (the default is
146      /usr/bin/wipe), --wipe-interactive to force the wipe program to prompt
147      the user before a file is deleted, and --wipe-cmdline to allow the user
148      to build a set of command line arguments that are passed to the wipe
149      program.
150    - Added --Force to have gpgdir skip over the error condition where a file
151      cannot be deleted (because of a permissions issue for example).
152    - Added --Trial-run to allow the user to see what actions gpgdir would
153      take to encrypt or decrypt files, but no files are actually modified.
154    - Added --Interactive to have gpgdir prompt the user before every file is
155      encrypted, decrypted.
156    - Added the gpgdir.SlackBuild script (contributed by pyllyukko originally
157      for the psad project) for building gpgdir on Slackware systems.
158
159gpgdir-1.0.3 (09/17/2006):
160    - Minor bugfix to correct 1.0.1 version number (which should have been set
161      to 1.0.2) in the gpgdir RPM spec file.
162
163gpgdir-1.0.2 (09/17/2006):
164    - Minor bugfix to correct 1.0 version number (which should have been set
165      to 1.0.1).  The result is the 1.0.2 release.
166
167gpgdir-1.0.1 (09/16/2006):
168    - Added --quiet option to have gpgdir print as little as possible to the
169      screen when encrypting or decrypting a directory.
170    - Added x86_64 RPM (original patch from Mate Wierdl adapted for gpgdir).
171
172gpgdir-1.0 (09/13/2006):
173    - Added --Key-id command line argument so that use_key can be overridden
174      from the command line
175    - Made the argument to use_key not have to strictly be a keyID since GnuPG
176      allows a unique string match on keys in the key ring
177    - Added --Default-key to allow the user to have gpgdir use the default
178      key that is defined by GnuPG within the ~/.gnupg/options file.
179    - Updated the .gpgdirrc file to include the line "default_key" to allow
180      the user to have gpgdir prefer to use the GnuPG default key.
181    - Added the ChangeLog.svn file to show exactly which files have been
182      changed from release to release, and what the corresponding Subversion
183      log messages are.
184    - Minor documentation updates.
185
186gpgdir-0.9.9 (09/07/2006):
187    - Added RPM .spec file to build gpgdir as an RPM.
188    - Added the --Skip-mod-install command line argument to install.pl to
189      allow all perl module installs to be skipped.
190    - Added the --force-mod-regex command line argument to install.pl to allow
191      a regex match on perl module names to force matching modules to be
192      installed.
193    - Updated to TermReadKey-2.30 from 2.21.
194
195gpgdir-0.9.8 (07/03/2006):
196    - Updated to use GnuPG::Interface instead of GnuPG module.  This should
197      fix the incompatibility issues seen between the GnuPG module and some
198      GnuPG installations.
199    - Added perl module installation code from fwknop (see
200      http://www.cipherdyne.org/fwknop/).  This allows gpgdir to
201      preferentially use any perl modules that are already be installed on the
202      system.
203
204gpgdir-0.9.4 (10/12/2005):
205    - Updated test mode to encrypt and decrypt a testing file within the
206      directory to be encrypted or decrypted.  This file is located at
207      <dir>/gpgdir_test, and is removed after the test is completed.
208    - Bugfix for "protocol error: expected SHM_GET_XXX got GOOD_PASSPHRASE"
209      error in GnuPG module.
210
211gpgdir-0.9.3 (02/20/2005):
212    - Added --Include and --Include-from options to allow inclusion
213      regular expressions to be specified.
214    - Bugfix for not decrypting filesnames that contain spaces.
215
216gpgdir-0.9.2 (01/05/2005):
217    - Added preservation of file mtime and atime values (may be disabled
218      with the --no-preserve-times option).
219    - Added testing encryption and decryption of dummy file (may be
220      disabled with --skip-test) by default for both encrypt and decrypt
221      modes.
222    - Added --test-mode to run encrypt -> decrypt test and exit.
223    - Removed unnecessary compression options.
224    - Updated get_homedir() to reference HOME environmental variable if
225      the /etc/passwd file does not exist (OS X being a good example).
226    - Added --verbose mode.
227    - Updated output to generate errors on a per-file basis instead of
228      dumping them at the end of an encrypt/decrypt operation.
229
230gpgdir-0.9.1 (11/11/2004):
231    - Updated GnuPG.pm perl module to handle return code of PLAINTEXT
232      which seems to be returned by GunPG now (as of version 1.2.6)
233      instead of DECRYPTION_OKAY upon a successful decryption.
234
235gpgdir-0.9 (09/12/2004):
236    - Added --gnupg-dir option to allow a user to specify a different
237      user's .gnupg directory for encryption keys.
238    - Switched to "[+]" (and related) message prefixes.
239
240gpgdir-0.8 (05/29/2004):
241    - Added --Exclude and --Exclude-from options to allow files to be
242      excluded based on regex matches.
243    - Reworked error messages so they contain the filename associated
244      with each error.
245
246gpgdir-0.4 (04/23/2004):
247    - Added --pw-file option so that a decryption password can be
248      read out of a file.
249    - Better directory validation (filesystem -e and -d checks).
250    - Added INSTALL file.
251    - Updated man page and README file.
252
253gpgdir-0.3 (09/27/2003):
254    - Bundled perl modules GnuPG and TermReadKey with gpgdir.
255    - Modified install.pl and gpgdir to install and use GnuPG and
256      TermReadKey modules from the /usr/lib/gpgdir directory.
257    - Added check_commands() subroutine from psad.
