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.

- Fixed crash after the second call to RsInit::InitRetroShare when keyring does not exist.
The instance of AuthSSL was created twice and AuthGPG was deleted without stopping the thread. Stopped the AuthGPG thread on exit of RetroShare.
- Added the correct path to the keyring for Windows in RsInit::copyGnuPGKeyrings.
- Changed the detection of the portable version on Windows from the file "gpg.exe" to the file "portable".

- Extended RsHtml::formatText to replace the RetroShare links with an image and enabled this for the certificate links in the system messages (friend recommendation and user request)
- Added new ObjectPainter for painting a button on a pixmap

Exports all symbols from RetroShare.exe and import it in the plugins.
Removed the direct linking of the libretroshare and libbitdht from the plugins.

- made config page system more automatic, to allow addign config pages from plugins
- added (disabled) checkbox and function to allow all plugins for development
- added config page methods to RsPlugin class

Added -Wextra to the Windows compile.
Added new define in libbitdht for snprintf and fprintf to proper handling of "%ll" under Windows.

Added an own ui for the ChatLobbyDialog.
Saved settings of the ChatLobbyDialog.
Changed parameters of RsStatus interface from "std::string" to "const std::string&"
Fixed german language.

- added new notifier to p3ChatService
GUI:
- list all public and private chat lobbies
- added subscribe/unsubscribe
- added new basic widget ChatTabWidget and use it in PopupChatWindow and ChatLobbyDialog
- added a tabbed dialog for every subscribed chat lobby

and files that RS can DL seamlessly in the DL directory. Collection files are created from shared files
and can be handled by righ-clicking on them in Transfers and Shared files. Handling is based on the extension,
that must be "rscollection".

Now the history is saved encrypted. Please delete all files with "chat*.xml" in your profile folder.
Added new config p3HistoryMgr and interface p3History.
Added new option to limit the count of the saved history items.
Added new simple html optimizer "RsHtml::optimizeHtml" to reduce the size of the html strings.

* Compilation for FreeBSD.
* Notes that MT is not cryptographically secure.
* modified sorting of DHT Window.
Only one change that I didn't commit:
bitdht {
- LIBS += ../../libbitdht/src/lib/libbitdht.a
- PRE_TARGETDEPS *= ../../libbitdht/src/lib/libbitdht.a
+ LIBS += ../../libbitdht/src/libbitdht.a
+ PRE_TARGETDEPS *= ../../libbitdht/src/libbitdht.a
}
As this would have broken compilation on the other platforms.

- Moved ProfileView and ProfileEdit to the folder unfinished.
- Removed "location:" before the ssl name in FriendsDialog and MessengerWindow.
