- upgrade to 2.1.0 (modern)
  - The file "secring.gpg" is not anymore used to store the secret
    keys.  Merging of secret keys is now supported.
  - All support for PGP-2 keys has been removed for security reasons.
  - The standard key generation interface is now much leaner.  This
    will help a new user to quickly generate a suitable key.
  - Support for Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC) is now available.
  - Commands to create and sign keys from the command line without any
    extra prompts are now available.
  - The Pinentry may now show the new passphrase entry and the
    passphrase confirmation entry in one dialog.
  - There is no more need to manually start the gpg-agent.  It is now
    started by any part of GnuPG as needed.
  - Problems with importing keys with the same long key id have been
    addressed.
  - The Dirmngr is now part of GnuPG proper and also takes care of
    accessing keyserver.
  - Keyserver pools are now handled in a smarter way.
  - A new format for locally storing the public keys is now used.
    This considerable speeds up operations on large keyrings.
  - Revocation certificates are now created by default.
  - Card support has been updated, new readers and token types are
    supported.
  - The format of the key listing has been changed to better identify
    the properties of a key.
  - The gpg-agent may now be used on Windows as a Pageant replacement
    for Putty in the same way it is used for years on Unix as
    ssh-agent replacement.
  - Creation of X.509 certificates has been improved.  It is now also
    possible to export them directly in PKCS#8 and PEM format for use
