Software Release - gpgdir-1.2

gpgdir-1.2 released The 1.2 release of gpgdir is ready for download. This release concentrates on getting gpgdir to function on non-Linux systems - specifically Windows under Cygwin and FreeBSD. Here is the ChangeLog:
  • Added support for installing gpgdir on Windows under Cygwin (via the install.pl script). Installing gpgdir on FreeBSD systems also works.
  • Added support for installing gpgdir within a user home directory without the need for root access (this requires installing gpgdir with the install.pl script).
  • Added --agent to have gpgdir acquire gpg key password from a running gpg-agent instance.
  • Added --no-password so gpgdir can use a gpg key with no associated password (this is not common). The user is not prompted for a password in this case.
