We have just released version 0.18.0 of Sequoia. The release includes
the low-level crate sequoia-openpgp
, a program to verify detached
signatures geared towards software distribution systems called
sqv
, and a commandline frontend for Sequoia implementing the
Stateless OpenPGP Command Line Interface called sqop
.
If you use Sequoia, please port your code to the latest version and report any problems you encounter. Thank you.
Notable changes
We are in the process of stabilizing the API of the low-level
sequoia-openpgp
crate. To that end, we’re going over our
documentation, writing more documentation and examples, and slightly
amending the API to make it more consistent and easier to use.
Besides that and numerous little improvements, we fixed a bug in the
parser, made certificates created using the CertificateBuilder
more compatible with other implementations, and prepared Sequoia for
more cryptographic backends.
