Software Release - gpgdir-1.4

20 July, 2007

gpgdir-1.4 released The 1.4 release of gpgdir is ready for download. This release adds two new options that allow previously encrypted or decrypted files to be overwritten. Here is the ChangeLog:
  • (Anthony Chivetta) Submitted patch to implement the --overwrite-encrypted command line argument to allow previously encrypted files to be overwritten. This is useful for updating an encrypted directory with new versions of the previously encrypted files. Also added the --overwrite-decrypted command line argument to perform the same function for previously decrypted files.
  • (Anthony Chivetta) Submitted patch to fix a bug where a filename of "0.gpg" could not be decrypted because "0" does not evaluate to a true value.
As an example, here is the output gpgdir produces when encrypting a directory: [mbr@minastirith ~/src/gpgdir]$ gpgdir --Exclude "GnuPG-Interface/t" --encrypt GnuPG-Interface
[+] Executing: gpgdir --Exclude GnuPG-Interface/t --encrypt GnuPG-Interface
Using GnuPG key: A742839F
Enter password (for initial encrypt/decrypt test)
