Hi!

We are pleased to announce the availability of Dirmngr version 1.0.0.

Dirmngr is a server for managing and downloading certificate
revocation lists (CRLs) for X.509 certificates and for downloading the
certificates themselves.  Dirmngr also handles OCSP requests as an
alternative to CRLs.  Dirmngr is either invoked internally by gpgsm
(from GnuPG-2) or when running as a system daemon through the
dirmngr-client tool.

Improving Dirmngr is costly, but you can help!  We are looking for
organizations that find Dirmngr useful and wish to contribute back.
You can contribute by reporting bugs, improve the software, or by
donating money.

Commercial support contracts for Dirmngr are available, and they help
finance continued maintenance.  g10 Code GmbH, a Duesseldorf based
company owned and headed by GnuPG's principal author, is currently
funding Dirmngr development.  We are always looking for interesting
development projects.

We have to thank all the people who helped with this release.  In
particular Steffen Hansen who wrote the initial version and the folks
at Intevation GmbH who helped a lot by providing infrastructure for
testing and development.



Happy Hacking,

  Werner
