Hi everyone,

I'm pleased to announce the release of version 0.7.0 of the Sequoia Web of Trust crate, sequoia-wot.

I have published sequoia-wot on crates.io:

https://crates.io/crates/sequoia-wot

You can also fetch version 0.7.0 using the v0.7.0 tag:

https://gitlab.com/sequoia-pgp/sequoia-wot/-/tags/v0.7.0

which I signed:

$ git verify-tag v0.7.0 gpg: Signature made Fri Mar 24 11:31:41 2023 +01:00 gpg: using RSA key C03FA6411B03AE12576461187223B56678E02528 gpg: Good signature from "Neal H. Walfield neal@walfield.org" [ultimate] gpg: "Neal H. Walfield neal@gnupg.org" gpg: "Neal H. Walfield neal@pep-project.org" gpg: "Neal H. Walfield neal@pep.foundation" gpg: "Neal H. Walfield neal@sequoia-pgp.org"

This release includes an exciting new feature: the ability to render the output as a graphical network in DOT format. The DOT output can in turn be compiled into an SVG using Graphviz's DOT compiler. This is a great usability improvement.

This feature was implemented by David Runge, a new Sequoia contributor.

Here's an example of how to use it. David says that he is an Arch Linux developer. We can see what Arch developers have certified a certificate with his email address by running:

$ sq-wot --format dot \ --keyring usr/share/pacman/keyrings/archlinux.gpg \ --gossip lookup \ --email dvzrv@archlinux.org \ | dot -Tsvg -o /tmp/dvzrv.svg

The attached SVG shows the result.
