IIRC 1.4.10 has the required changes backported from the 2.x codestream but i haven't had time to verify that the keys are correctly generated or that the configuration instructions work (i may be able to find some time in Feb once my semester one exams are done). it is possible - with sufficient knowledge - to create secure keys using 1.4.9 or earlier but it's fiddly and error prone. i think - but haven't checked - that you should be able to follow the *full* instructions for 2.x using 1.4.10 and then verify that the signatures created by the new key are strong enough. - robert
