I am happy to announce Enigmail v3.0 for Interlink Mail & News and Postbox.
Please note that Enigmail 3.0 does not support Thunderbird. Major Changes since v2.1 ------------------------ This release introduces a new backend that allows to use different OpenPGP implementations. Currently, OpenPGP.js (natively built into Enigmail) and GnuPG are supported. By default, if GnuPG is found and at least one private key is available in GnuPG, then GnuPG will be used for crypto-operations. If GnuPG is not found or seems unused, then OpenPGP.js will be used. OpenPGP.js is included in Enigmail and does not require any further downloads. The OpenPGP.js implementation of Enigmail contains a very simple trust model. Any new key is trusted by default. If you don't want to trust a key, you can distrust it (which acts similarly to disabling a key in GnuPG). I might add something like TOFU in a future version of Enigmail, but that's not yet decided. If you require a more sophisticated trust model, you should use the GnuPG backend instead. Future versions of Enigmail will support additional OpenPGP implementations, such as SOP. In particular, the current GnuPG backend that accessed gpg directly will be replaced with functionality that requires gpgme-json. Enigmail will no longer directly access GnuPG for crypto- functions. Fixed defects ------------- In addition to the above, we fixed several defects: <https://sourceforge.net/p/enigmail/bugs/search/?q=status%3Afixed+%26%26+_fixed%3A3.0> Obtaining Enigmail --- Enigmail can be downloaded from https://enigmail.net/index.php/en/download-old-versions The changelog is available from https://www.enigmail.net/index.php/en/download/changelog
