gpgdir/ChangeLog

   1 gpgdir-1.9.5 (09/05/2009):
   2     - Added support for the decryption of PGP encrypted files (to round out
   3       the support of GnuPG).
   4
   5 gpgdir-1.9.4 (02/12/2009):
   6     - Fixed a bug in missing the proper handling of files with spaces when
   7       using the --Wipe secure deletion mode (reported by Lars Wilke).
   8     - The --Force option now supports the ability to encrypt/decrypt hidden
   9       files (suggested by Lars Wilke).
  10
  11 gpgdir-1.9.3 (11/05/2008):
  12     - Bugfix for using -f instead of -I for non-interactive file erasure
  13       (Franck Joncourt).
  14     - Simplified test suite code by creating a set of default arguments for
  15       the gpgdir command line as each test is executed.
  16
  17 gpgdir-1.9.2 (08/31/2008):
  18     - Added new modes '--sign <dir>' and '--verify <dir>' to allow all files
  19       in the specified directory to be signed or verified instead of encrypted
  20       or decrypted.  All GnuPG signatures are created as "<file>.asc", and the
  21       original file is not removed in --sign mode.  In --verify mode, if any
  22       file does not match the expected .asc signature, then a warning like the
  23       following will be generated:
  24
  25         [+] Verifying:  /home/mbr/src/gpgdir/test/data-dir/multi-line-ascii.asc
  26         [GNUPG:] BADSIG 9EDEEEEBA742EEEF Some User <someuser@domain.org>
  27
  28     - Bugfix to not die() when files that are encrypted with a different GnuPG
  29       key are encountered in a directory that is being decrypted. A warning
  30       message (see below) is now generated and the file is skipped:
  31
  32       [+] Decrypting:  /home/mbr/tmp/gpgdir/a.gpg
  33       [GNUPG:] BAD_PASSPHRASE CF16F0FCFFF3FF4F
  34       [-] Skipping file encrypted with different GnuPG key: a.gpg
  35
  36     - Updated to use the status output from GnuPG::Interface to detect a bad
  37       passphrase and whether a file is encrypted with the expected GnuPG key.
  38     - Moved the GnuPG::Interface, Class::MethodMaker, and Term::ReadKey
  39       modules to the deps/ directory, and updated the installer and RPM spec
  40       file to account for the path change.  This change was suggested by
  41       Franck Joncourt for the other cipherdyne.org projects.
  42     - Updated the test suite to generate files in the output/ directory
  43       according to test number and append the result of each test within each
  44       file.  This makes it easy to tell which tests have failed with a simple
  45       'grep fail output/*test'.
  46     - Added the gpgdir-nodeps.spec file to allow an RPM to be built that does
  47       not contain any perl modules dependencies.
  48     - Updated gpgdir to import perl modules via 'require' statements instead
  49       of 'use' statements so that the path to the modules directory can be
  50       changed via the --Lib-dir command line argument.  Also updated to use
  51       the 'auto' heuristic (first implemented in the fwknop project) to detect
  52       perl module directories that should be used in the --Lib-dir directory
  53       to import perl modules from.
  54
  55 gpgdir-1.9.1 (06/07/2008):
  56     - Updated to Class::MethodMaker 2.11 from CPAN.  This helps with systems
  57       running perl-5.10.0 and greater (such as Fedora 9).
  58     - Updated to always set the LC_ALL environmental variable to the "C"
  59       locale.  This can be set to other locales with a new argument --locale,
  60       or the default locale can be used by using --no-locale argument.
  61
  62 gpgdir-1.9 (05/31/2008):
  63     - Changed --Obfuscate-filenames format to not include the gpgdir PID.
  64       This allows directories to be encrypted/decrypted under -O multiple
  65       times without creating new filenames (which would pollute encrypted
  66       directories under rsync to other systems).  The new -O encrypted
  67       filename format is just "gpgdir_<num>.gpg".
  68     - Added PID locking against directories so that multiple gpgdir processes
  69       cannot operate against the same top-level directory simultaneously.
  70       This is useful for users that typically operate with multiple shells
  71       and might launch gpgdir from any of them.
  72
  73 gpgdir-1.8 (04/04/2008):
  74     - Updated the test suite to validate the gpgdir --Obfuscate-filenames
  75       mode to ensure that files are encrypted as "gpgdir_<pid>_<num>.gpg".
  76     - Minor bug fix to remove the .gpgdir_map_file in --Obfuscate-filenames
  77       mode after a successful decryption cycle.
  78     - Updated to version 0.36 of CPAN GnuPG::Interface module.
  79
  80 gpgdir-1.7 (02/18/2008):
  81     - Bugfix to ensure that encrypted directories can actually be decrypted.
  82       This bug was reported by Per Ronny Westin.
  83     - Updated to use the ".asc" extension for encrypted files in --Plain-ascii
  84       mode.
  85     - Added gpgdir test suite.  All future gpgdir releases (and including this
  86       1.7 release) require that all gpgdir tests pass on the systems where
  87       gpgdir is developed.
  88
  89 gpgdir-1.6 (02/17/2008):
  90     - Bugfix to not include previously encrypted files (i.e. those with a .gpg
  91       extension) in the encryption/decryption file list.  This bug was
  92       introduced in gpgdir-1.5 when a change was made to ignore ascii-armored
  93       files.
  94     - Added added LC_ALL=C locale setting for the install.pl script (this
  95       should help to ensure gpgdir is properly installed on most systems). Two
  96       new command line arguments --LC_ALL and --no-LC_ALL also allow the
  97       locale setting to be changed or not used at all.
  98     - Added --Exclude-mod-regex option to the install.pl script so that it is
  99       possible to force the exclusion of perl modules that gpgdir would
 100       normally install. This is useful for ensuring that gpgdir references
 101       perl modules that are already installed in the system perl library tree
 102       instead of using those that are installed in /usr/lib/gpgdir.
 103     - Updated to display command line usage warnings without automatically
 104       displaying the entire usage() page (which is quite long).
 105
 106 gpgdir-1.5 (08/31/2007):
 107     - Added the --Symmetric option so that files can be encrypted/decrypted
 108       via a symmetric encryption algorithm (GnuPG commonly uses CAST5 for
 109       this).
 110     - Added the --Plain-ascii option so that GnuPG is invoked with the -a
 111       option so that encrypted files are ascii armored instead of encrypted in
 112       binary form.
 113     - Bugfix to ensure not to delete zero-size files if a bad password is
 114       given (gpgdir now just throws a warning and exits in this case).
 115     - Minor code enhancements to provide a consistent hash_init() invocation
 116       with the same options hash.
 117     - Updated to exclude .asc files from the encryption/decryption process.
 118
 119 gpgdir-1.4 (07/20/2007):
 120     - (Anthony Chivetta) Submitted patch to implement the
 121       --overwrite-encrypted command line argument to allow previously
 122       encrypted files to be overwritten. This is useful for updating an
 123       encrypted directory with new versions of the previously encrypted files.
 124       Also added the --overwrite-decrypted command line argument to perform
 125       the same function for previously decrypted files.
 126     - (Anthony Chivetta) Submitted patch to fix a bug where a filename of
 127       "0.gpg" could not be decrypted because "0" does not evaluate to a true
 128       value.
 129
 130 gpgdir-1.3 (06/09/2007):
 131     - Added --Obfuscate mode so that the files within a directory can be
 132       altered into unrecognizable names (which are stored within the file
 133       .gpgdir_map_file within each sub-directory, and this file is itself
 134       encrypted).  The obfuscated file names are reversed when a directory
 135       is decrypted.
 136     - Added the --Agent-info command line argument so that the value of the
 137       GPG_AGENT_INFO environment variable can be specified on the gpgdir
 138       command line.
 139
 140 gpgdir-1.2 (05/28/2007):
 141     - Added support for installing gpgdir on Windows under Cygwin (via the
 142       install.pl script). Installing gpgdir on FreeBSD systems also works.
 143     - Added support for installing gpgdir within a user home directory without
 144       the need for root access (this requires installing gpgdir with the
 145       install.pl script).
 146     - Added --agent to have gpgdir acquire gpg key password from a running
 147       gpg-agent instance.
 148     - Added --no-password so gpgdir can use a gpg key with no associated
 149       password (this is not common).  The user is not prompted for a password
 150       in this case.
 151
 152 gpgdir-1.1 (05/21/2007):
 153     - Added the ability to securely delete the original versions of files with
 154       the 'wipe' program (after they have been successfully encrypted).  Also
 155       added --wipe-path to specify a path to the wipe binary (the default is
 156       /usr/bin/wipe), --wipe-interactive to force the wipe program to prompt
 157       the user before a file is deleted, and --wipe-cmdline to allow the user
 158       to build a set of command line arguments that are passed to the wipe
 159       program.
 160     - Added --Force to have gpgdir skip over the error condition where a file
 161       cannot be deleted (because of a permissions issue for example).
 162     - Added --Trial-run to allow the user to see what actions gpgdir would
 163       take to encrypt or decrypt files, but no files are actually modified.
 164     - Added --Interactive to have gpgdir prompt the user before every file is
 165       encrypted, decrypted.
 166     - Added the gpgdir.SlackBuild script (contributed by pyllyukko originally
 167       for the psad project) for building gpgdir on Slackware systems.
 168
 169 gpgdir-1.0.3 (09/17/2006):
 170     - Minor bugfix to correct 1.0.1 version number (which should have been set
 171       to 1.0.2) in the gpgdir RPM spec file.
 172
 173 gpgdir-1.0.2 (09/17/2006):
 174     - Minor bugfix to correct 1.0 version number (which should have been set
 175       to 1.0.1).  The result is the 1.0.2 release.
 176
 177 gpgdir-1.0.1 (09/16/2006):
 178     - Added --quiet option to have gpgdir print as little as possible to the
 179       screen when encrypting or decrypting a directory.
 180     - Added x86_64 RPM (original patch from Mate Wierdl adapted for gpgdir).
 181
 182 gpgdir-1.0 (09/13/2006):
 183     - Added --Key-id command line argument so that use_key can be overridden
 184       from the command line
 185     - Made the argument to use_key not have to strictly be a keyID since GnuPG
 186       allows a unique string match on keys in the key ring
 187     - Added --Default-key to allow the user to have gpgdir use the default
 188       key that is defined by GnuPG within the ~/.gnupg/options file.
 189     - Updated the .gpgdirrc file to include the line "default_key" to allow
 190       the user to have gpgdir prefer to use the GnuPG default key.
 191     - Added the ChangeLog.svn file to show exactly which files have been
 192       changed from release to release, and what the corresponding Subversion
 193       log messages are.
 194     - Minor documentation updates.
 195
 196 gpgdir-0.9.9 (09/07/2006):
 197     - Added RPM .spec file to build gpgdir as an RPM.
 198     - Added the --Skip-mod-install command line argument to install.pl to
 199       allow all perl module installs to be skipped.
 200     - Added the --force-mod-regex command line argument to install.pl to allow
 201       a regex match on perl module names to force matching modules to be
 202       installed.
 203     - Updated to TermReadKey-2.30 from 2.21.
 204
 205 gpgdir-0.9.8 (07/03/2006):
 206     - Updated to use GnuPG::Interface instead of GnuPG module.  This should
 207       fix the incompatibility issues seen between the GnuPG module and some
 208       GnuPG installations.
 209     - Added perl module installation code from fwknop (see
 210       http://www.cipherdyne.org/fwknop/).  This allows gpgdir to
 211       preferentially use any perl modules that are already be installed on the
 212       system.
 213
 214 gpgdir-0.9.4 (10/12/2005):
 215     - Updated test mode to encrypt and decrypt a testing file within the
 216       directory to be encrypted or decrypted.  This file is located at
 217       <dir>/gpgdir_test, and is removed after the test is completed.
 218     - Bugfix for "protocol error: expected SHM_GET_XXX got GOOD_PASSPHRASE"
 219       error in GnuPG module.
 220
 221 gpgdir-0.9.3 (02/20/2005):
 222     - Added --Include and --Include-from options to allow inclusion
 223       regular expressions to be specified.
 224     - Bugfix for not decrypting filesnames that contain spaces.
 225
 226 gpgdir-0.9.2 (01/05/2005):
 227     - Added preservation of file mtime and atime values (may be disabled
 228       with the --no-preserve-times option).
 229     - Added testing encryption and decryption of dummy file (may be
 230       disabled with --skip-test) by default for both encrypt and decrypt
 231       modes.
 232     - Added --test-mode to run encrypt -> decrypt test and exit.
 233     - Removed unnecessary compression options.
 234     - Updated get_homedir() to reference HOME environmental variable if
 235       the /etc/passwd file does not exist (OS X being a good example).
 236     - Added --verbose mode.
 237     - Updated output to generate errors on a per-file basis instead of
 238       dumping them at the end of an encrypt/decrypt operation.
 239
 240 gpgdir-0.9.1 (11/11/2004):
 241     - Updated GnuPG.pm perl module to handle return code of PLAINTEXT
 242       which seems to be returned by GunPG now (as of version 1.2.6)
 243       instead of DECRYPTION_OKAY upon a successful decryption.
 244
 245 gpgdir-0.9 (09/12/2004):
 246     - Added --gnupg-dir option to allow a user to specify a different
 247       user's .gnupg directory for encryption keys.
 248     - Switched to "[+]" (and related) message prefixes.
 249
 250 gpgdir-0.8 (05/29/2004):
 251     - Added --Exclude and --Exclude-from options to allow files to be
 252       excluded based on regex matches.
 253     - Reworked error messages so they contain the filename associated
 254       with each error.
 255
 256 gpgdir-0.4 (04/23/2004):
 257     - Added --pw-file option so that a decryption password can be
 258       read out of a file.
 259     - Better directory validation (filesystem -e and -d checks).
 260     - Added INSTALL file.
 261     - Updated man page and README file.
 262
 263 gpgdir-0.3 (09/27/2003):
 264     - Bundled perl modules GnuPG and TermReadKey with gpgdir.
 265     - Modified install.pl and gpgdir to install and use GnuPG and
 266       TermReadKey modules from the /usr/lib/gpgdir directory.
 267     - Added check_commands() subroutine from psad.
