Noteworthy changes in version 1.1.7 (2008-10-177)
------------------------------------------------

* Using GPGME_KEYLIST_MODE_LOCAL combined with
GPGME_KEYLIST_MODE_EXTERN is now supported; it uses the
--locate-keys feature of gpg (>= 2.0.10).

* The encoding of gpgme_data_t objects can affect the output encoding
of export, sign and encrypt operations now (the same operations
that are also affected by the ASCII mode switch). We believe this
change in the ABI is innocent enough not to break existing
applications (it only affects the S/MIME backend on certain
operations).

* The reference manual now includes the specification of "The GnuPG
UI Server protocol".

* A new function gpgme_cancel_async can be used to asynchronously
cancel any pending operation at any time, from any thread.

* Interface changes relative to the 1.1.6 release:

Re: [Announce] GPGME 1.1.7 released [In reply to]

I've replied without paying attention to where this message is sent
and as a result sent it to announce list instead of the devel one.
Reposting it here now.

I have a small comment regarding one Windows specific change between
1.1.6 and 1.1.7 which is not listed in the announcement.

While investigating why new gpgme returns me "GPGME: Invalid crypto
engine" error I found out that now instead of spawing gpg.exe directly
it relies on gpgme-w32spawn.exe being installed with GnuPG.
The latest gpg4win does not have this program and as a result,
gpgme-1.1.7 can't be used with it at all.

First, it would be nice to have that incompatibility documented.

Second, it would be nice if gpgme falls back to spawning gpg directly in
case gpgme-w32spawn.exe is not available at least for couple of next
versions unless there's a very good reason for it not to.

Cheers,
Igor
