- The following is a list of changes that were made to the PGP 2.6.2i
- distribution in order to make PGP 2.6.3i:
-
- 1. The compiler option -DMIT in 2.6.2i has been replaced with -DUSA. If
- you compile with -DUSA you will get a version called 2.6.3, _not_
- 2.6.2. It is identical to 2.6.3i, except that the legal_kludge
- cannot be disabled.
-
- 2. Fixed a large number of bugs:
- * Fixed PGPTEMP.$00 tempfile bug for PGP -k with xxKEY.HLP
- * Fixed -f passphrase lockup bug for MS-DOS
- * Fixed bug when input and output filenames refer to the same file
- * Text files in 8-bit character sets may now be clearsigned
- * PGP will not overwrite existing .asc files without your confirmation
- * If key generation fails due to write-protected keyrings, PGP will
- now abort with a proper error message
- * Added error messages for 'pgp -w' (wipe only) option
- * Fixed a large number of other minor bugs, too many to mention here
-
- 3. Added new functionality:
- * Added -kv labelling to 'pgp -kxa' output
- * Added capability to automatically sign userids upon creation
- * Added "Charset:" header to clearsigned messages
- * Added capability to read a list of recipients from a file rather
- than having to type them in on the command line (the @ option)
- * Added support for more character sets (cp852, cp860 etc.)
- * Added support for system-wide language.txt file
- * Added a number of new LANG() conversions, enabling translators
- to translate more messages
- * Added -lh5- archive recognition
- * Added VMS help file pgp_vms.hlp
-
- 4. Modified source code and added a number of new files in order to let
- PGP compile "out of the box" on many new platforms, most notably:
- * DJGPP 2.0 (32-bit MS-DOS)
- * Win32 (Windows NT, Windows 95)
- * Macintosh (requires additional Mac-specific files)
- * IBM mainframe running MVS (using the C/370 compiler)
-
- 5. Updated all source code and documentation files for version 2.6.3i.
