## Download

The current code works stable on GNU/Linux systems. You can download it from the primary GUUG site or from one of the mirrors.

- GnuPG version 0.9.10 (1221k)
- OpenPGP signature for this file. Because this may lead to a chicken-and-egg problem, there is also a PGP signature.
- Diff against 0.9.9 (94k). This diff is signed; you have to use GnuPG >= 0.9.5 to verify the signature. GnuPG has a feature to allow clear signed patch files which can still be processed by patch.

See the README file on how to verify the signatures.

RPM packages of this software are available at

- ftp://pgp.4net.it/pub/gpg/

Precompiled binaries are available for

- Windoze (186k).
  Note, that this is a experimental release and should not be used for any production purposes except may be to verify signatures.

rsync access is also available; try "rsync ftp.gnupg.org::"

## EGD

Unices without a /dev/random should install the Entropy Gathering Daemon. The latest version 0.5 (30k) is available at the usual GnuPG sites. (sig for EGD).

## Other Software

Here is a list of other software with support for GnuPG:

- GnomePGP is a GNOME desktop tool to control GnuPG.
- Geheimniss is a KDE frontend for GnuPG.
- TkPGP is another grahical tool to control GnuPG.
- pgpgpg is a comandline wrapper tool to allow the use of scripts written for PGP with GnupPG.
- Mutt. Download the international version.
- Mailcrypt for Emacs.

## Legal stuff

Some countries have regulations on the use of cryptographics systems; It may be unlawful to use GnuPG in these countries.

Please do not re-export (i.e. put it on a FTP server located in the U.S.) this software from the U.S. The U.S. administration claims that strong cryptograpy is a kind of amunition and forbids the export - consider asking your Congressional representatives to change these laws, next time you meet them.

And what about Wassenaar? Don't Panic: The General Software Note explicitly says that software in the "public domain" is not controlled by this list. GPLed software counts for them as PD.
