User-level changes:
==================
- libgpgme is not used anymore; it is replaced by a built-in piece of code called OpenPGP-SDK
(http://openpgp.nominet.org.uk/cgi-bin/trac.cgi) that was improved to be used by RetroShare
for handling PGP keys.
- the gnupg keyring is not used anymore. Now, RetroShare has it's own gpg keyring, shared by all instances.
On linux it's located in ~/.retroshare/pgp/. A lock system prevents multiple locations to read/write keyrings
simultaneously.
- the trust database from gnupg is not documented, so RetroShare cannot import it. This comes from the fact that
the GPG standard (RFC4880) asks explicitly not to export trust information. So RetroShare has it's own
trust DB shared by locations. This means you need to re-trust people. Sorry for that!
- at start, if no keyring is found, RS will propose to copy the gnupg keyring to use your existing keys. Clicking on
"OK" will do the copy, and you should find back all existing locations, except for DSA keys.
- locations for which the suitable keypair is not in the keyring will not be displayed in the login window
- locations for which the suitable keypair is not a RSA/RSA key will not be displayed. RetroShare does not
support DSA/Elgamal keypairs yet.
- a key import/export exchange function has been added in the certificate creation window (you go there from the login
window by clicking on "manage keys/locations". This allows to easily create a new location with the same pgp key on
another computer. To obtain a suitable keypair using gnupg, you need to concatenate the encrypted private key and the
public key into an ascii file. This can be done using:
gpg -a --export-secret-keys [your ID] > mykey.asc
gpg -a --export [your ID] >> mykey.asc
- importing a key with subkeys in not yet possible. Please remove subkeys before importing.
- The code has been tested for a reasonnable amount of time, but it's not possible to prevent some new bugs
to appear. Please report them asap supplying: call-stacks if possible, and terminal output. In particular,
openpgp has some assert()'s that should not be triggered unless RetroShare is calling it in an improper way.
Internal changes
================
- a specific component, PGPHandler, takes care of the interface between openpgp-sdk and RetroShare
openpgp-sdk is c-code, with it's own memory management, which has been kept well separated from
RetroShare.
- GPG Ids are now a specific class (not a std::string anymore) for code consistency reasons. As strings are
still used in many places, this requires a few conversions. In particular, AuthGPG takes strings as
function params and calls GPGHandler with the proper PGPIdType class. In the future, RetroShare should
only use PGPIdType. The same will be done for SSL ids.
- signature cleaning is still handled by the Retroshare built-in function, not by openpgp, but we will
do this later.
Still to do
===========
- DSA needs subkey handling, since the encryption is performed by a Elgamal subkey. Not sure this will be done.
- GPGIds/SSLIds cleaning (meaning replace strings by appropriate types). Lots of confusion throughout the code in retroshare-gui in particular.
- key removal from keyring. This is a challenge to keep locations synchronised.

- added generic methods and items for bouncing generic objects through lobbies
- added handling of peer typing status
- proper handling of peer join/leave lobby
- added sub item ids to lobby messages to allow proper message splitting
- made 2 different message splitting methods for normal chat vs. lobbies. In v0.6, we'll have to handle all messages the same way.
- added parent id to RsChatLobbyMsgItem, to allow threaded chat.
- added possibility to make a lobby public/private (not yet fully working)
- added items for requesting/exchanging list of public lobbies at friends' (not yet fully working)

Next move:
- gui for listing friend public lobbies, joining them, etc.

- autoremove of inactive lobbies
Warning: lobby message items of this version are incompatible with previous versions. It won't crash, but
messages will not pass through.

The current directory of the programs started from the registry run key is not the application directory. Now the current directory is changed to the application directory on start of RetroShare on Windows.

Added queue for outgoing private offline chat messages. The queue is also saved until the private chat message could be delivered.
It does not work in the short time between the shutdown of the peer and the switch of the state to offline for that peer. For this we need a response of the peer.
Need recompile.

Reworked the interface of the chat service. So full recomile is needed.
With disabled flags for private chat (RS_CHAT_OPEN_NEW and RS_CHAT_REOPEN), the incoming private chat messages are queued (only for the runtime) until the user shows the private chat dialog.
When a new chat message is available, the icon of the gpg and ssl contact changed in MessengerWindow and PeersDialog and a new tray icon is shown.
Fixed compiler warning.

You can enable it in libretroshare.pro and RetroShare.pro by uncomment
CONFIG += minimal
This enables two new defines for stripping all not needed things
- libretroshare: MINIMAL_LIBRS
- GUI: MINIMAL_RSGUI
and removes not needed files from build (see end of the files libretroshare.pro and RetroShare.pro).
Beware: All data of the stripped services are lost
