• 0.5.2

  • This time Latin-1 really doesn't cause a crash.

• 0.5.1

  • Thanks to a fix in GPGME.framework, Latin-1 encoded names now display correctly and, more importantly, don't cause crashes.

• 0.5

  • Key inspector has human readable information.
  • Key list refreshes after key import (so you'll know right away whether the success message was telling the truth or lying).

• 0.5 BETA

  • Allows secret key import.
  • Added key inspector panel that shows all available information on a key (including subkeys, userids, and photo), but it is not yet nice (i.e. readable by anyone other than a GnuPG hacker ;-)).

• 0.4.5

  • Added two commands under the new GPG menu.
  • The first one allows you to update the trust database.
  • The second rebuilds the key cache which allows for keys to list quickly.
  • This needs to be done after the trust database is updated, for example.
  • Keys can now be searched for using key words.
  • Fixed a bug where trying to open the Receive Key or Search Key panels caused an error.
  • Consequently, Receive Key and Search Key panels are now run in a modal session.

• 0.4.4

  • Fixed memory leak when exporting keys.
  • You can no longer try to export secret keys, since that is currently impossible (sorry).
  • When exporting just one key, its ID is the filename.
  • When you preform an action that goes to the terminal, GPGKeys waits until that command has started in Terminal to return control (this way you know that GPGKeys is doing something).
  • Secret key delete works (before it would just try to delete the public key).
  • You can now choose whether to export keys in binary or armored format.
  • Short key IDs now used.

• 0.4

  • Key listing is now very fast.
  • Key list can be searched and it can list either public or secret keys.
  • Shows number of keys listed.
  • Key info can be exported as xml.
  • About box simplified.
  • Fixed OS Types.

• 0.2.5

  • Key list refreshing works properly.
  • Removed unused preferences.
  • Menu items inactive if you can't use them (e.g. no key selected).
  • Can drag and drop .gpgkey files onto icon (exported key file).
  • Key algorithms are listed by name rather than number.
  • Name changed from Mac GPG Keys to GPGKeys.

• Beta 0.2.1

  • Speed boost.
  • Key listing about 10 times faster thanks to Stéphane's patch for GPGME 0.3.3.

• Beta 0.2

  • First official release. Finally put together from CVS.
