Noteworthy changes in version 2.1.20
====================================

* gpg: New properties 'expired', 'revoked', and 'disabled' for the
import and export filters.

* gpg: New command --quick-set-primary-uid.

* gpg: New compliance field for the --with-colon key listing.

* gpg: Changed the key parser to generalize the processing of local
meta data packets.

* gpg: Fixed assertion failure in the TOFU trust model.

* gpg: Fixed exporting of zero length user ID packets.

* scd: Improved support for multiple readers.

* scd: Fixed timeout handling for key generation.

* agent: New option --enable-extended-key-format.

* dirmngr: Do not add a keyserver to a new dirmngr.conf. Dirmngr
uses a default keyserver.

* dimngr: Do not treat TLS warning alerts as severe error when
building with GNUTLS.

* dirmngr: Actually take /etc/hosts in account.

* wks: Fixed client problems on Windows. Published keys are now set
to world-readable.

* tests: Fixed creation of temporary directories.

* A socket directory for a non standard GNUGHOME is now created on
the fly under /run/user. Thus "gpgconf --create-socketdir" is now
optional. The use of "gpgconf --remove-socketdir" to clean up
obsolete socket directories is however recommended to avoid
cluttering /run/user with useless directories.

* Fixed build problems on some platforms.
