2025-12-31: npth-1.8-1 (New GNU Portable Threads Library)nPth is a library to provide the GNU Pth API and thus a non-preemptive threads implementation. In contrast to GNU Pth, nPth is based on the system's standard threads implementation. This allows the use of libraries which are not compatible to GNU Pth. Experience with a Windows Pth emulation showed that this is a solid way to provide a co-routine based framework. commit log from Daniel Macks ([email protected]): npth: new version2025-12-31: libgpg-error-1.58-1 (GPG error reporting library)
This is a library that defines common error values for all GnuPG components. Among these are GPG, GPGSM, GPGME, GPG-Agent, libgcrypt, pinentry, SmartCard Daemon and possibly more in the future. commit log from Daniel Macks ([email protected]): libgpg-error: new version2025-12-31: libgcrypt20-shlibs-1.11.2-1 (GNU cryptographic library)
This is a general purpose cryptographic library based on the code from GnuPG. It provides functions for all cryptograhic building blocks: symmetric ciphers (AES, DES, Blowfish, CAST5, Twofish, Arcfour), hash algorithms (MD4, MD5, RIPE-MD160, SHA-1, TIGER-192), MACs (HMAC for all hash algorithms), public key algorithms (RSA, ElGamal, DSA), large integer functions, random numbers and a lot of supporting functions. commit log from Daniel Macks ([email protected]): libgcrypt20: new version2025-12-31: gnupg2-2.5.16-1 (Gnu privacy guard - A Free PGP replacement)
GnuPG is GNU's tool for secure communication and data storage. It can be used to encrypt data and to create digital signatures. It includes an advanced key management facility and is compliant with the proposed OpenPGP Internet standard as described in RFC2440. GnuPG does not use use any patented algorithms so it cannot be compatible with PGP2 because it uses IDEA (which is patented worldwide) and RSA. RSA's patent expired on the 20th September 2000, and it is now included in GnuPG. commit log from Daniel Macks ([email protected]): gnupg2: new version2025-12-29: vim-nox-9.1.2031-1 (Improved version of the editor "vi")
VIM adds many of the features that you would expect in an editor: Unlimited undo, syntax coloring, split windows, visual selection, graphical user interface (read: menus, mouse control, scrollbars, text selection), and much much more. commit log from Hisashi T Fujinaka ([email protected]): Vim: Welcome to Vim-9.1.2031.2025-12-29: vim-9.1.2031-1 (Improved version of the editor "vi")
