Hello!

The GnuPG team is pleased to announce the availability of a new release
of GnuPG modern: Version 2.1.10.  The main features of this release are
support for TOFU (Trust-On-First-Use) and anonymous key retrieval via
Tor.

Noteworthy changes in version 2.1.10
====================================

 • gpg: New trust models "tofu" and "tofu+pgp".

 • gpg: New command --tofu-policy.  New options --tofu-default-policy
   and --tofu-db-format.

 • gpg: New option --weak-digest to specify hash algorithms which
   should be considered weak.

 • gpg: Allow the use of multiple --default-key options; take the last
   available key.

 • gpg: New option --encrypt-to-default-key.

 • gpg: New option --unwrap to only strip the encryption layer.

 • gpg: New option --only-sign-text-ids to exclude photo IDs from key
   signing.

 • gpg: Check for ambigious [ambiguous] or non-matching key
   specification in the config file or given to --encrypt-to.

 • gpg: Show the used card reader with --card-status.

 • gpg: Print export statistics and an EXPORTED status line.

 • gpg: Allow selecting subkeys by keyid in --edit-key.

 • gpg: Allow updating the expiration time of multiple subkeys at
   once.

 • dirmngr: New option --use-tor.  For full support this requires
   libassuan version 2.4.2 and a patched version of libadns
   (e.g. adns-1.4-g10-7 as used by the standard Windows installer).

 • dirmngr: New option --nameserver to specify the nameserver used in
   Tor mode.

 • dirmngr: Keyservers may again be specified by IP address.

 • dirmngr: Fixed problems in resolving keyserver pools.

 • dirmngr: Fixed handling of premature termination of TLS streams so
   that large numbers of keys can be refreshed via hkps.

 • gpg: Fixed a regression in --locate-key [since 2.1.9].

 • gpg: Fixed another bug for keyrings with legacy keys.

 • gpgsm: Allow combinations of usage flags in --gen-key.

 • Make tilde expansion work with most options.

 • Many other cleanups and bug fixes.
