Monkeysphere

The 2.1.0 release was published today to Debian unstable and (a novelty) on PyPI. This release fixes numerous bugs and implements a bunch of new features as well. The most notable features are support for third-party email clients, configuration ... [More] files and preliminary GnuPG 2.1 support. Key bugfixes include better handling of revoked and expired key material that has been plaguing us for years. The complete changelog is available on the new collaborative Gitlab platform hosted at 0xACAB.org, along with a new issue queue. The documentation was also completely revamped and moved to ReadTheDocs.io. It is also shipped in a -doc Debian package for offline viewing. The bugfixes have unfortunately not been integrated in the 2.0.x branch, which means that Debian Jessie and derivatives will probably not see those updates unless someone goes through the painstaking process of picking and backporting specific patches to fix various issues. Furthermore, it is not yet completely clear that all those issues are fixed, so I will wait until the 2.1.x branch matures before attempting such a backport. In particular, it is possible the GnuPG 2.1 support may still be lacking, see issue #9 for more information about this epic battle. Around 10 different people contributed to this release, including 4 new translators, 4 new developers and a new documentation person! It is hoped that the new collaborative platform will make new contributions more easily shared and discussed and will bring new maintainers to the project. Those people are now documented in a special section of the program, hopefully I haven't forgotten anyone. To install Monkeysign, see the completely revamped install documentation. If you are interested in contributing to the project, you can find more information in the new contributing section. And we have started a new usage manual that would welcome your review, feedback and improvements. Enjoy this new release of Monkeysign! [Less]

The 2.0.2 release is yet again for the Debian Jessie release cycle. It fixes numerous and critical bugs, most notably that selecting the UID didn't work at all on the commandline (it would choose the wrong UID). Some fixes for issues mentionned on ... [More] this mailing list were also adressed, albeit partially. I had pre-approved this upload with the release team (in #771033), but it is possible that the unblock gets refused in which case a new release may be rolled out with less fixes. At this point, the 2.x and 2.0.x branches are practically identical as all 2.x fixes were merged in 2.0.2. Monkeysign is a user-friendly tool to easily and securely exchange OpenPGP key certifications. See the homepage for more information. To install monkeysign on Debian unstable, simply run: sudo apt-get install monkeysign For users of other Linux distributions, use: git clone git://git.monkeysphere.info/monkeysign cd monkeysign sudo ./setup.py install --record=install.log For more information, see the homepage. Detailed list of changes since monkeysign-2.0.1: reported in the Debian BTS: encode prompt properly before prompting (closes: #771032) try to handle error when import actually works in GTK UI (closes: #770900) improve debugging by wrapping all writes to gnupg in debug use the proper index when selecting key to sign (closes: #771034) reported on the Monkeysphere mailing list: hotfix: properly verify the image signature file hotfix: disable scrolling in qrcode window don't try to remove non-existent video device, and clarify error message output --version to stdout and don't make it an error those fix FTBS issues: fix tests after cd4e18c: guess encoding properly update zack's key so tests succeed again and this makes sure this package will be easier to support for the lifetime of jessie improve error handling again: distinguish different failure cases and clearly transmit GPG errors Enjoy!

Monkeysign 2.0.1 is a tiny patch release to fix some usage strings and tests with GnuPG 2.x. Hopefully there won't be any more non-critical releases on the 2.0.x branch, but I will keep the liberty of making such releases until Debian jessie enters ... [More] its freeze phase, as there doesn't seem to be any other LTS consumer at this stage. Monkeysign is a user-friendly tool to easily and securely exchange OpenPGP key certifications. See the homepage for more information. To install monkeysign on Debian unstable, simply run: sudo apt-get install monkeysign Testing and stable currently have the 1.1 release and will be updated within 10 days to the new 2.0.1 release if no critical bugs are found. For users of other Linux distributions, use: git clone git://git.monkeysphere.info/monkeysign cd monkeysign sudo ./setup.py install --record=install.log For more information, see the homepage. Detailed list of changes since monkeysign-2.0.0: hot patch release while we still can before jessie: fix tests under GnuPG 2.x improve usage to clarify -u, --cert-level and --to fix version number to include patch release Enjoy!
