Sequoia 0.19.0 released
by Justus Winter 21 Aug '20

21 Aug '20

We have just released version 0.19.0 of Sequoia. The release includes the low-level crate [`sequoia-openpgp`], a program to verify detached signatures geared towards software distribution systems called [`sqv`], and a commandline frontend for Sequoia implementing the [Stateless OpenPGP Command Line Interface] called [`sqop`]. [`sequoia-openpgp`]: https://crates.io/crates/sequoia-openpgp [`sqv`]: https://crates.io/crates/sequoia-sqv [`sqop`]: https://crates.io/crates/sequoia-sop [Stateless OpenPGP Command Line Interface]: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-dkg-openpgp-stateless-cli/ [OpenPGP interoperability test suite]: https://tests.sequoia-pgp.org/ If you use Sequoia, please port your code to the latest version and report any problems you encounter. Thank you. # Notable changes The big new feature is that Sequoia can now be built to use the [Windows Cryptography API: Next Generation (CNG)] as cryptographic backend on Windows. This makes it easier to build and distribute Sequoia for Windows, as building Nettle requires a POSIXly environment. Furthermore, using CNG reduces your trusted computing base, and will allow us to use cryptographic key stores like HSMs in the future. [Windows Cryptography API: Next Generation (CNG)]: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/seccng/cng-portal To select the CNG backend, use `default-features = false`, and explicitly include the `crypto-cng` feature. Currently, the CNG backend requires at least Windows 10. We are in the process of stabilizing the API of the low-level `sequoia-openpgp` crate. To that end, we're going over our documentation, writing more documentation and examples, and slightly amending the API to make it more consistent and easier to use.

To that end, we're going over our documentation, writing more documentation and examples, and slightly amending the API to make it more consistent and easier to use. Besides that and numerous little improvements, we fixed a [bug in the parser], made certificates created using the `CertificateBuilder` [more compatible] with other implementations, and prepared Sequoia for [more cryptographic backends].
