Version 3.1.15 released 2021-01-12

  • GpgOL: Fixed a critical issue since Gpg4win-3.1.12 where the selection of "No Key" for a recipient could lead to arbitrary keys selected instead. (T5223)
  • GpgOL: auto-key-retrieve in the GnuPG config now no longer leads to "No Data" errors when viewing signed mails. (T5164)

  • Kleopatra: Creating S/MIME CSRs for OpenPGP Smartcards has been further improved. (T5127)

  • Kleopatra: Setting the initial SigG PIN for NetKey cards now also works if the generic PIN is not set. (T5220)
  • GnuPG: Now supports system wide configuration files in "%ProgramData%\GNU\etc\gnupg" so Administrators can both set defaults and enforce a specific configuration. The Format is the same as the user configuration under "%AppData%\gnupg" with additional syntax to enforce some options and ignore other options. (T4788)
  • GnuPG: OpenPGP certificates can no be obtained automatically over Active Directory.
  • GnuPG: The scheme for LDAP access has been improved.
  • GnuPG: Updated to 2.2.27 See: https://lists.gnupg.org/pipermail/gnupg-announce/2021q1/000452.html Announcement for 2.2.26: https://lists.gnupg.org/pipermail/gnupg-announce/2020q4/000451.html

Version 3.1.13 released 2020-09-04

  • GnuPG: Updated to 2.2.23 to fix CVE-2020-25125. ( https://lists.gnupg.org/pipermail/gnupg-announce/2020q3/000448.html )
  • GpgOL: Fixed an issue where unencrypted drafts of mails were stored on the Exchange Server and could be restored through the "recently deleted items" option. Especially if the draft encryption, introduced in Gpg4win-3.1.8, is used this can be a security issue. (T5022) Gpg4win cannot offer guarantees that Outlook does not send data which is entered *before* the encryption to Microsoft or an Exchange Server. Under Windows with Outlook this is impossible to control. The draft encryption option is our best effort to avoid this.

  • GpgOL: Permanently decrypt now works more reliably and should no longer lead to "No Data" errors. (T4718)
  • GpgOL: Long lines in plaintext mails should no longer be displayed as multiple lines after decryption. (T4987)
  • GpgOL: Attachments with filenames that are not allowed on Windows can now be handled. (T4835)

  • Kleopatra: "updating..." as key validity is no longer displayed incorrectly when doing a keyserver search. (T4948)

  • GpgOL: There is now an additional configuration option to always show the security approval dialog, even with full automation.
  • GpgOL: E-Mails are no longer always classified as HTML.
  • GpgOL: Saving E-Mails as files now also works when the mail is opened in its own Window.
  • GpgOL: Fixed a rare case where GpgOL could crash when opening a Mail from the file system.
  • GpgOL: The security approval dialog now has additional info buttons to show extended information.
  • Kleopatra: The certify dialog has been reworked to be more user friendly and require less clicks. (T4649)
  • Kleopatra: New Feature "Search Tags": When certifying a user identity you can now add additional "Tags". Tags are shown which are made by any user that has full ceritification trust. They can be used to group or search keys by additional information. (T4734)
  • Kleopatra: There is now an error message when a key could not be found during file encryption.
  • Kleopatra: The Smartcard Management now also works for OpenPGP 3 cards e.g. newer Yubikeys.
  • GnuPG: Network access is now much faster if IPv6 is not available. (T4165)
  • GnuPG: Prepare against chosen-prefix SHA-1 collisions in key signatures. This change removes all SHA-1 based key signature newer than 2019-01-19 from the web-of-trust. Note that this includes all key signature created with DSA-1024 keys. The new option --allow-weak-key-signatues can be used to override the new and safer behaviour. (T4755, CVE-2019-14855)

Version 3.1.10 released 2019-07-14

  • GpgOL: Fixed a possible plaintext leak to the mail server, which could occur when opening and closing mails while the mail was also visible in the message list. (T4622 T4621)
  • GnuPG: Ignore all key-signatures received from keyservers. This change is required to mitigate a DoS due to keys flooded with faked key-signatures. The old behaviour can be achieved by adding keyserver-options no-self-sigs-only,no-import-clean to your gpg.conf. (T4607) See: https://wiki.gnupg.org/WKD for an alternative to the keyservers.
