Hello!

The GnuPG Project is pleased to announce the availability of a new
release of GnuPG modern: Version 2.1.9.

The GNU Privacy Guard (GnuPG) is a complete and free implementation
of the OpenPGP standard which is commonly abbreviated as PGP.

Noteworthy changes in version 2.1.9
===================================

 * gpg: Allow fetching keys via OpenPGP DANE (--auto-key-locate).  New
   option --print-dane-records.

 * gpg: Fix for a problem with PGP-2 keys in a keyring.

 * gpg: Fail with an error instead of a warning if a modern cipher
   algorithm is used without a MDC.

 * agent: New option --pinentry-invisible-char.

 * agent: Always do a RSA signature verification after creation.

 * agent: Fix a regression in ssh-add-ing Ed25519 keys.

 * agent: Fix ssh fingerprint computation for nistp384 and EdDSA.

 * agent: Fix crash during passprase entry on some platforms.

 * scd: Change timeout to fix problems with some 2.1 cards.

 * dirmngr: Displayed name is now Key Acquirer.

 * dirmngr: Add option --keyserver.  Deprecate that option for gpg.
   Install a dirmngr.conf file from a skeleton for new installations.
