Changes since 3.99.2:
+ avoid possible free() of new value passed to netpgp_setvar(),
with thanks to Anon Ymous.
+ netpgpkeys(1): print keys to stdout, not stderr - reported by Anon
Ymous.
+ fix DSA signatures and verification
+ simplify and shorten the internals of packet processing by getting rid of
the intermediate pseudo-abstraction layer, which detracted from understanding
and had no benefit whatsoever. Rename some enums and some definitions.
+ add some checking to new key generation, and don't try to read in
the keys after writing them - reported by Tyler Retzlaff
don't try to re-read the key after writing it - that's done by a separate
function. Problem found by Tyler Retzlaff, fixed in a different way.
check that keyrings are non-NULL before attempting to free them - from a
nudge by Tyler Retzlaff.
advance its counter if it's non-NULL.
Regression test for this is:
netpgpkeys --list-key '\.de\>'
with my standard keyring (to list all keys which have at least one subuid
with a German email address).
verify functionality was useful, but the time has come to learn lessons
and move on.
Replace the trimmed down code with a call to the verification code from
libnetpgp(3).
The DSA algorithm seems to require a digest value which is 20 bytes
long, which kind of implies SHA-1.
If we have a DSA signature, use SHA-1 as a hash algorithm, for backwards
compatibility. RSA signatures continue to use SHA256 by default, although
this can be given as an argument, if desired.
This fixes DSA signatures with netpgp:

change the pre-defined stdio streams to be denoted by "<stdout>" and
"<stderr>", to distinguish them from file names.
In netpgpkeys(1), send the default "res" (results) stream to stdout,
rather than stderr. Requested by Anon Ymous (and makes perfect sense).
the event that a reference to the value is passed to the
netpgp_setvar() function as the new value. Problem noted, cause
detected, and most of the fix contributed by, Anon Ymous. Thanks!
get rid of all traces of dmalloc - it's not used anymore. we can now g/c
initialisation functions which do not do anything.
also get rid of the pkeyid() functions, which just prints a
hexadecimal string
a detached armoured signature, as well as just a plain standard signed
file.
This is in response to PR 43245 from Juan RP, and addresses the
verification of detached armoured signatures, but in a different way
to the patch provided in the PR which is hopefully more generic, and
less reliant upon size of detached signature files.
in our SSH client and daemon as it causes crashes on architectures which
strict aligment requirements (e.g. NetBSD/sparc64).
This fixes PR bin/43221 by myself.
Changes to 3.99.1/20100413
+ bump major command versions to be compatible with shlib major
+ fixed a number of bugs in (RSA) key generation
+ modified netpgpkeys(1) to take an optional argument to --generate-key
if the argument is provided, it is used as the equivalent of the gecos
field for the newly-generated key.
