gpgdir/ChangeLog

   1 gpgdir-1.9.4 (02/12/2009):
   2     - Fixed a bug in missing the proper handling of files with spaces when
   3       using the --Wipe secure deletion mode (reported by Lars Wilke).
   4     - The --Force option now supports the ability to encrypt/decrypt hidden
   5       files (suggested by Lars Wilke).
   6
   7 gpgdir-1.9.3 (11/05/2008):
   8     - Bugfix for using -f instead of -I for non-interactive file erasure
   9       (Franck Joncourt).
  10     - Simplified test suite code by creating a set of default arguments for
  11       the gpgdir command line as each test is executed.
  12
  13 gpgdir-1.9.2 (08/31/2008):
  14     - Added new modes '--sign <dir>' and '--verify <dir>' to allow all files
  15       in the specified directory to be signed or verified instead of encrypted
  16       or decrypted.  All GnuPG signatures are created as "<file>.asc", and the
  17       original file is not removed in --sign mode.  In --verify mode, if any
  18       file does not match the expected .asc signature, then a warning like the
  19       following will be generated:
  20
  21         [+] Verifying:  /home/mbr/src/gpgdir/test/data-dir/multi-line-ascii.asc
  22         [GNUPG:] BADSIG 9EDEEEEBA742EEEF Some User <someuser@domain.org>
  23
  24     - Bugfix to not die() when files that are encrypted with a different GnuPG
  25       key are encountered in a directory that is being decrypted. A warning
  26       message (see below) is now generated and the file is skipped:
  27
  28       [+] Decrypting:  /home/mbr/tmp/gpgdir/a.gpg
  29       [GNUPG:] BAD_PASSPHRASE CF16F0FCFFF3FF4F
  30       [-] Skipping file encrypted with different GnuPG key: a.gpg
  31
  32     - Updated to use the status output from GnuPG::Interface to detect a bad
  33       passphrase and whether a file is encrypted with the expected GnuPG key.
  34     - Moved the GnuPG::Interface, Class::MethodMaker, and Term::ReadKey
  35       modules to the deps/ directory, and updated the installer and RPM spec
  36       file to account for the path change.  This change was suggested by
  37       Franck Joncourt for the other cipherdyne.org projects.
  38     - Updated the test suite to generate files in the output/ directory
  39       according to test number and append the result of each test within each
  40       file.  This makes it easy to tell which tests have failed with a simple
  41       'grep fail output/*test'.
  42     - Added the gpgdir-nodeps.spec file to allow an RPM to be built that does
  43       not contain any perl modules dependencies.
  44     - Updated gpgdir to import perl modules via 'require' statements instead
  45       of 'use' statements so that the path to the modules directory can be
  46       changed via the --Lib-dir command line argument.  Also updated to use
  47       the 'auto' heuristic (first implemented in the fwknop project) to detect
  48       perl module directories that should be used in the --Lib-dir directory
  49       to import perl modules from.
  50
  51 gpgdir-1.9.1 (06/07/2008):
  52     - Updated to Class::MethodMaker 2.11 from CPAN.  This helps with systems
  53       running perl-5.10.0 and greater (such as Fedora 9).
  54     - Updated to always set the LC_ALL environmental variable to the "C"
  55       locale.  This can be set to other locales with a new argument --locale,
  56       or the default locale can be used by using --no-locale argument.
  57
  58 gpgdir-1.9 (05/31/2008):
  59     - Changed --Obfuscate-filenames format to not include the gpgdir PID.
  60       This allows directories to be encrypted/decrypted under -O multiple
  61       times without creating new filenames (which would pollute encrypted
  62       directories under rsync to other systems).  The new -O encrypted
  63       filename format is just "gpgdir_<num>.gpg".
  64     - Added PID locking against directories so that multiple gpgdir processes
  65       cannot operate against the same top-level directory simultaneously.
  66       This is useful for users that typically operate with multiple shells
  67       and might launch gpgdir from any of them.
  68
  69 gpgdir-1.8 (04/04/2008):
  70     - Updated the test suite to validate the gpgdir --Obfuscate-filenames
  71       mode to ensure that files are encrypted as "gpgdir_<pid>_<num>.gpg".
  72     - Minor bug fix to remove the .gpgdir_map_file in --Obfuscate-filenames
  73       mode after a successful decryption cycle.
  74     - Updated to version 0.36 of CPAN GnuPG::Interface module.
  75
  76 gpgdir-1.7 (02/18/2008):
  77     - Bugfix to ensure that encrypted directories can actually be decrypted.
  78       This bug was reported by Per Ronny Westin.
  79     - Updated to use the ".asc" extension for encrypted files in --Plain-ascii
  80       mode.
  81     - Added gpgdir test suite.  All future gpgdir releases (and including this
  82       1.7 release) require that all gpgdir tests pass on the systems where
  83       gpgdir is developed.
  84
  85 gpgdir-1.6 (02/17/2008):
  86     - Bugfix to not include previously encrypted files (i.e. those with a .gpg
  87       extension) in the encryption/decryption file list.  This bug was
  88       introduced in gpgdir-1.5 when a change was made to ignore ascii-armored
  89       files.
  90     - Added added LC_ALL=C locale setting for the install.pl script (this
  91       should help to ensure gpgdir is properly installed on most systems). Two
  92       new command line arguments --LC_ALL and --no-LC_ALL also allow the
  93       locale setting to be changed or not used at all.
  94     - Added --Exclude-mod-regex option to the install.pl script so that it is
  95       possible to force the exclusion of perl modules that gpgdir would
  96       normally install. This is useful for ensuring that gpgdir references
  97       perl modules that are already installed in the system perl library tree
  98       instead of using those that are installed in /usr/lib/gpgdir.
  99     - Updated to display command line usage warnings without automatically
 100       displaying the entire usage() page (which is quite long).
 101
 102 gpgdir-1.5 (08/31/2007):
 103     - Added the --Symmetric option so that files can be encrypted/decrypted
 104       via a symmetric encryption algorithm (GnuPG commonly uses CAST5 for
 105       this).
 106     - Added the --Plain-ascii option so that GnuPG is invoked with the -a
 107       option so that encrypted files are ascii armored instead of encrypted in
 108       binary form.
 109     - Bugfix to ensure not to delete zero-size files if a bad password is
 110       given (gpgdir now just throws a warning and exits in this case).
 111     - Minor code enhancements to provide a consistent hash_init() invocation
 112       with the same options hash.
 113     - Updated to exclude .asc files from the encryption/decryption process.
 114
 115 gpgdir-1.4 (07/20/2007):
 116     - (Anthony Chivetta) Submitted patch to implement the
 117       --overwrite-encrypted command line argument to allow previously
 118       encrypted files to be overwritten. This is useful for updating an
 119       encrypted directory with new versions of the previously encrypted files.
 120       Also added the --overwrite-decrypted command line argument to perform
 121       the same function for previously decrypted files.
 122     - (Anthony Chivetta) Submitted patch to fix a bug where a filename of
 123       "0.gpg" could not be decrypted because "0" does not evaluate to a true
 124       value.
 125
 126 gpgdir-1.3 (06/09/2007):
 127     - Added --Obfuscate mode so that the files within a directory can be
 128       altered into unrecognizable names (which are stored within the file
 129       .gpgdir_map_file within each sub-directory, and this file is itself
 130       encrypted).  The obfuscated file names are reversed when a directory
 131       is decrypted.
 132     - Added the --Agent-info command line argument so that the value of the
 133       GPG_AGENT_INFO environment variable can be specified on the gpgdir
 134       command line.
 135
 136 gpgdir-1.2 (05/28/2007):
 137     - Added support for installing gpgdir on Windows under Cygwin (via the
 138       install.pl script). Installing gpgdir on FreeBSD systems also works.
 139     - Added support for installing gpgdir within a user home directory without
 140       the need for root access (this requires installing gpgdir with the
 141       install.pl script).
 142     - Added --agent to have gpgdir acquire gpg key password from a running
 143       gpg-agent instance.
 144     - Added --no-password so gpgdir can use a gpg key with no associated
 145       password (this is not common).  The user is not prompted for a password
 146       in this case.
 147
 148 gpgdir-1.1 (05/21/2007):
 149     - Added the ability to securely delete the original versions of files with
 150       the 'wipe' program (after they have been successfully encrypted).  Also
 151       added --wipe-path to specify a path to the wipe binary (the default is
 152       /usr/bin/wipe), --wipe-interactive to force the wipe program to prompt
 153       the user before a file is deleted, and --wipe-cmdline to allow the user
 154       to build a set of command line arguments that are passed to the wipe
 155       program.
 156     - Added --Force to have gpgdir skip over the error condition where a file
 157       cannot be deleted (because of a permissions issue for example).
 158     - Added --Trial-run to allow the user to see what actions gpgdir would
 159       take to encrypt or decrypt files, but no files are actually modified.
 160     - Added --Interactive to have gpgdir prompt the user before every file is
 161       encrypted, decrypted.
 162     - Added the gpgdir.SlackBuild script (contributed by pyllyukko originally
 163       for the psad project) for building gpgdir on Slackware systems.
 164
 165 gpgdir-1.0.3 (09/17/2006):
 166     - Minor bugfix to correct 1.0.1 version number (which should have been set
 167       to 1.0.2) in the gpgdir RPM spec file.
 168
 169 gpgdir-1.0.2 (09/17/2006):
 170     - Minor bugfix to correct 1.0 version number (which should have been set
 171       to 1.0.1).  The result is the 1.0.2 release.
 172
 173 gpgdir-1.0.1 (09/16/2006):
 174     - Added --quiet option to have gpgdir print as little as possible to the
 175       screen when encrypting or decrypting a directory.
 176     - Added x86_64 RPM (original patch from Mate Wierdl adapted for gpgdir).
 177
 178 gpgdir-1.0 (09/13/2006):
 179     - Added --Key-id command line argument so that use_key can be overridden
 180       from the command line
 181     - Made the argument to use_key not have to strictly be a keyID since GnuPG
 182       allows a unique string match on keys in the key ring
 183     - Added --Default-key to allow the user to have gpgdir use the default
 184       key that is defined by GnuPG within the ~/.gnupg/options file.
 185     - Updated the .gpgdirrc file to include the line "default_key" to allow
 186       the user to have gpgdir prefer to use the GnuPG default key.
 187     - Added the ChangeLog.svn file to show exactly which files have been
 188       changed from release to release, and what the corresponding Subversion
 189       log messages are.
 190     - Minor documentation updates.
 191
 192 gpgdir-0.9.9 (09/07/2006):
 193     - Added RPM .spec file to build gpgdir as an RPM.
 194     - Added the --Skip-mod-install command line argument to install.pl to
 195       allow all perl module installs to be skipped.
 196     - Added the --force-mod-regex command line argument to install.pl to allow
 197       a regex match on perl module names to force matching modules to be
 198       installed.
 199     - Updated to TermReadKey-2.30 from 2.21.
 200
 201 gpgdir-0.9.8 (07/03/2006):
 202     - Updated to use GnuPG::Interface instead of GnuPG module.  This should
 203       fix the incompatibility issues seen between the GnuPG module and some
 204       GnuPG installations.
 205     - Added perl module installation code from fwknop (see
 206       http://www.cipherdyne.org/fwknop/).  This allows gpgdir to
 207       preferentially use any perl modules that are already be installed on the
 208       system.
 209
 210 gpgdir-0.9.4 (10/12/2005):
 211     - Updated test mode to encrypt and decrypt a testing file within the
 212       directory to be encrypted or decrypted.  This file is located at
 213       <dir>/gpgdir_test, and is removed after the test is completed.
 214     - Bugfix for "protocol error: expected SHM_GET_XXX got GOOD_PASSPHRASE"
 215       error in GnuPG module.
 216
 217 gpgdir-0.9.3 (02/20/2005):
 218     - Added --Include and --Include-from options to allow inclusion
 219       regular expressions to be specified.
 220     - Bugfix for not decrypting filesnames that contain spaces.
 221
 222 gpgdir-0.9.2 (01/05/2005):
 223     - Added preservation of file mtime and atime values (may be disabled
 224       with the --no-preserve-times option).
 225     - Added testing encryption and decryption of dummy file (may be
 226       disabled with --skip-test) by default for both encrypt and decrypt
 227       modes.
 228     - Added --test-mode to run encrypt -> decrypt test and exit.
 229     - Removed unnecessary compression options.
 230     - Updated get_homedir() to reference HOME environmental variable if
 231       the /etc/passwd file does not exist (OS X being a good example).
 232     - Added --verbose mode.
 233     - Updated output to generate errors on a per-file basis instead of
 234       dumping them at the end of an encrypt/decrypt operation.
 235
 236 gpgdir-0.9.1 (11/11/2004):
 237     - Updated GnuPG.pm perl module to handle return code of PLAINTEXT
 238       which seems to be returned by GunPG now (as of version 1.2.6)
 239       instead of DECRYPTION_OKAY upon a successful decryption.
 240
 241 gpgdir-0.9 (09/12/2004):
 242     - Added --gnupg-dir option to allow a user to specify a different
 243       user's .gnupg directory for encryption keys.
 244     - Switched to "[+]" (and related) message prefixes.
 245
 246 gpgdir-0.8 (05/29/2004):
 247     - Added --Exclude and --Exclude-from options to allow files to be
 248       excluded based on regex matches.
 249     - Reworked error messages so they contain the filename associated
 250       with each error.
 251
 252 gpgdir-0.4 (04/23/2004):
 253     - Added --pw-file option so that a decryption password can be
 254       read out of a file.
 255     - Better directory validation (filesystem -e and -d checks).
 256     - Added INSTALL file.
 257     - Updated man page and README file.
 258
 259 gpgdir-0.3 (09/27/2003):
 260     - Bundled perl modules GnuPG and TermReadKey with gpgdir.
 261     - Modified install.pl and gpgdir to install and use GnuPG and
 262       TermReadKey modules from the /usr/lib/gpgdir directory.
 263     - Added check_commands() subroutine from psad.
