I'm very happy to announce Enigmail 2.0! This marks a major milestone in
the development of Enigmail.


Major Changes since v1.9
------------------------
* The Encryption and Signing buttons now work for both OpenPGP and
S/MIME. Enigmail will chose between S/MIME or OpenPGP depending on
whether the keys for all recipients are available for the respective
standard.

* Support for the Autocrypt standard [1], which is now enabled by default.

* Support for Pretty Easy Privacy (pEp) [2] is implemented in Enigmail.

* Support for Web Key Directory (WKD) [3] is implemented. Enigmail will
try to download unavailable keys during message composition from WKD.
If you use GnuPG 2.2.x, and your provider supports the Web Key Service
protocol [4], you can also use Enigmail to upload your key to WKD.

* The message subject can now be encrypted and replaced with a dummy
subject, following the "Memory Hole" standard for protected Email
Headers [5].

* The keys on the keyring are automatically refreshed from keyservers at
an irregular interval.

* Enigmail was converted into a "restartless" addon. That is, once you
installed Enigmail 2.0, subsequent updates will be installed without
needing to restart Thunderbird.

* Keys are internally addressed using the fingerprint instead of the key ID.


Fixed defects
-------------
In addition to the above, we fixed quite some defects:
