Hi,

The GnuPG Project is pleased to announce the availability of Scute
1.5.0.

Scute is a PKCS#11 module built around the GnuPG Agent and the GnuPG
Smart Card Daemon. It allows you to use your OpenPGP smart card for TLS
client authentication and S/MIME mail and document signing.


Noteworthy changes in version 1.5.0 (2017-07-14)

* Support for TLS 1.2.

* Support for S/MIME signing. This has been tested with Thunderbird (to
   sign e-mails) and with LibreOffice (to sign OpenDocument and PDF
   files).

* Support for 4096 bit RSA keys.

* Better support for GnuPG 2.1:

   - A communication bug between GnuPG Agent and Scute, leading to failed=

     signatures, has been fixed.

   - Scute now relies on gpg-connect-agent to be able to always find the
     socket for GnuPG Agent, no matter where that socket is actually
     located.

* C_GenerateRandom function is implemented. This allows Firefox to seed
   its entropy pool using the OpenPGP smart card's random number
   generator.
