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