Software Release - gpgdir-1.7

gpgdir-1.7 released The 1.7 release of gpgdir is ready for download. This release fixes a bug that was introduced in gpgdir-1.6 that caused previously encrypted directories to not be decrypted in --decrypt mode. This bug was reported by Per Ronny Westin, and the result is the addition of a new test suite so that bugs of this type don't creep back into the gpgdir development process. Here is some sample output of the new test suite in action: [+] ==> Running gpgdir test suite <==

Here is the complete ChangeLog: for the 1.7 release:
  • Bugfix to ensure that encrypted directories can actually be decrypted. This bug was reported by Per Ronny Westin.
  • Updated to use the ".asc" extension for encrypted files in --Plain-ascii mode.
  • Added gpgdir test suite. All future gpgdir releases (and including this 1.7 release) require that all gpgdir tests pass on the systems where gpgdir is developed.
