#+TITLE: sequoia-sq NEWS – history of user-visible changes
#+STARTUP: content hidestars
* Changes in 1.0.0
** New functionality
- `sq encrypt --for-self` now adds the certs configured under
`encrypt.for-self` to the list of recipients.
- `sq sign --signer-self` and `sq encrypt --signer-self` now add
the keys configured under `sign.signer-self` to the list of
signers.
- `sq pki vouch add --certifier-self` and `sq pki vouch authorize
--certifier-self` now use the key configured under
`pki.vouch.certifier-self` as certification key.
- `sq` now automatically imports certificates from GnuPG's
certificate store. Note: we only do this for the default Sequoia
and GnuPG state directories. Further, We don't parse the GnuPG
configuration file, we just scan GnuPG's default cert stores.
** Notable changes
- `sq pki link add`, `sq pki link authorize`, and `sq pki link
retract` gain a new parameter, `--cert-special`, which allows
addressing shadow CAs by symbolic names. For instance, `sq pki
link authorize --cert-special keys.openpgp.org --all
--unconstrained` can be used to fully trust the keys.openpgp.org
key server. This also creates the shadow CA if it doesn't exist
yet.
- `sq sign --signature-file` now takes a value specifying where the
signature should be written to. It conflicts with `--output`.
- `sq cert list` now takes cert designators, like `--cert-email`
instead of `--email`.
- `sq encrypt` now requires explicit opt-out for signing in the
form of the `--without-signature` flag.
- Remove the `--name` argument from `sq key approvals list`, `sq
key approvals update`, `sq key userid revoke` and `sq pki path`,
and remove the `--name-or-add` argument from `sq key userid
revoke`.
- The arguments `--userid-or-add`, and `--email-or-add` have
respectively been renamed to `--add-userid`, and `--add-email`.
- Change `sq pki link add --email` and `sq pki link authorize
--email` to use a user ID with just the specified email address,
if the email address is part of a self-signed user ID. That is,
if the certificate has the self-signed user ID "Alice
<alice@example.org>", then `--email alice@example.org` would have
selected "Alice <alice@example.org>" to link, but now it selects
"<alice@example.org>".
- Add `sq pki link add --userid-by-email`, and `sq pki link
authorize --userid-by-email`, which use the self-signed user ID
with the specified email address. That is, if the certificate
has the self-signed user ID "Alice <alice@example.org>", then
`--userid-by-email alice@example.org` selects "Alice
<alice@example.org>" to link.
- Add `sq pki link retract --userid-by-email`, which selects a
self-signed user ID with the specified email address.
- Change `sq pki vouch add --email` and `sq pki vouch authorize
--email` to use a user ID with just the specified email address,
if the email address is part of a self-signed user ID. That is,
if the certificate has the self-signed user ID "Alice
<alice@example.org>", then `--email alice@example.org` would have
selected "Alice <alice@example.org>" for certification, but now
it selects "<alice@example.org>".
- Add `sq pki vouch add --userid-by-email`, and `sq pki vouch
authorize --userid-by-email`, which use the self-signed user ID
with the specified email address. That is, if the certificate
has the self-signed user ID "Alice <alice@example.org>", then
`--userid-by-email alice@example.org` selects "Alice
<alice@example.org>" for certification.
- Change `sq key userid revoke --email` to use a user ID with just
the specified email address, if the email address is part of a
self-signed user ID. That is, if the certificate has the
self-signed user ID "Alice <alice@example.org>", then `--email
alice@example.org` would have selected "Alice
<alice@example.org>" for revocation, but now it selects
"<alice@example.org>".
- Add `sq key userid revoke --userid-by-email`, which uses the
self-signed user ID with the specified email address. That is,
if the certificate has the self-signed user ID "Alice
<alice@example.org>", then `--userid-by-email alice@example.org`
selects "Alice <alice@example.org>" for revocation.
- When writing to a file output, we first write to a temporary
file, then rename the file at the end of the operation so that it
has its desired name. There are two benefits: no one sees
partially written files, and one can safely use the same file as
input and output.
- `sq download --signature` is now called `sq download
--signature-url`.
- `sq download` now requires one of `--signature-url`, `--message`,
or `--cleartext` like `sq verify`.
* Changes in 0.40.0
** New functionality
- New subcommand `sq download`, which downloads a file and a
signature file, and then authenticates the file.
** Notable changes
- `sq toolbox keyring merge` now supports merging bare revocation
certificates.
- `sq verify` now deletes the output file on failure.
- `sq decrypt` now deletes the output file on failure.
- Add a global option, `--policy-as-of`, that selects the
cryptographic policy as of the specified time.
- `sq key subkey export` takes an additional argument, `--cert`,
which is required. The specified keys must be attached to that
certificate. This ensures that if a key is attached to multiple
certificates, the correct certificate is exported.
- Add a new argument, `--cli-version`, which requests a particular
semver-compatible version of the CLI. This enables breaking
changes to the CLI in the future.
- The `help` subcommand has been removed everywhere except at the
top-level (`--help` still works).
- If designated signers are specified for `sq verify`, `sq
decrypt`, and `sq download`, they are now the only certificates
that are considered when verifying signatures. If no signers are
specified, the certificate store is consulted.
- The argument `sq cert lint --list-keys` has been removed.
- `sq key list` now has a DWIM search parameter.
- The flag `sq sign --detached` is now called `sq sign
--signature-file`.
- The flag `sq sign --clearsign` is now called `sq sign
--cleartext`.
- Both `sq sign` and `sq verify` now require an explicit mode,
one of `--signature-file`, `--message`, or `--cleartext`.
- The flag `sq --no-cert-store` has been replaced with `sq
--cert-store=none`.
- The flag `sq --no-key-store` has been replaced with `sq
--key-store=none`.
- Similarly, `sq --home=none` disables all state, unless explicitly
re-enabled using `--cert-store` or `--key-store`.
- `sq pki link add`, `sq pki link authorize`, `sq pki vouch
certify`, and `sq pki vouch authorize` have a `--userid-or-add`
flag. Replace it with an `--userid-or-add` argument, and an
`--email-or-add` argument.
- The `--email` and `--email-or-add` arguments to `sq pki link add`,
etc. cannot be used to designate a self-signed user ID, if
multiple self-signed user IDs include the specified email
address. Previously, the arguments would designate all
self-signed user IDs with the specified email address.
- The new argument `sq sign --mode` can be used to create text
signatures in addition to binary signatures.
- The argument `sq network wkd publish --create` has been split
into two arguments, `--create` and `--method`, avoiding an
ambiguity when parsing the arguments.
- `sq key userid revoke` no longer accepts the `--userid-or-add` flag
to indicate that a user ID specified using `--userid`, an email
specified using `--email`, or a name specified using `--name`
should be used even if there is no corresponding self-signed user
ID. This functionality is replaced by the `--userid-or-add`,
`--email-or-add` and `--name-or-add` arguments.
- `sq pki path` previously interpreted the last positional argument
as the user ID to authenticate. Make it a named argument
instead, `--userid`.
- Add `sq pki path --email` and `sq pki path --name` as additional
ways to specify the user ID to authenticate.
- The argument `sq encrypt --set-metadata-time` has been removed.
- The argument `sq encrypt --set-metadata-filename` now takes a
string that specifies the file name to be set.
- `sq pki authenticate`'s positional argument for specifying the
certificate to authenticate must now be specified using a named
argument, `--cert`.
- `sq pki identify`'s positional argument for specifying the
certificate to identify must now be specified using a named
argument, `--cert`.
- Drop `sq cert list --email`'s flag, and replace it with the
`--userid` and `--email` positional arguments, which match on
user IDs.
- Drop `sq pki authenticate --email`'s flag, and replace it with
the `--userid` and `--email` positional arguments, which match on
user IDs.
- Drop `sq pki lookup --email`'s flag, and replace it with the
`--userid` and `--email` positional arguments, which match on
user IDs.
- `sq toolbox keyring` is now just `sq keyring`.
- `sq toolbox packet` is now just `sq packet`.
- `sq toolbox armor` is now `sq packet armor`.
- `sq toolbox dearmor` is now `sq packet dearmor`.
- `sq key userid revoke`, `sq pki link add`, `sq pki link
authorize`, `sq pki vouch certify`, and `sq pki vouch authorize`
now check that user IDs that are not self-signed are in canonical
form. Add a flag, `--allow-non-canonical-userids`, to disable
this check.
- `sq key approvals update` now requires an action, like
`--add-authenticated`.
- `sq key approvals --add-authenticated` is now a simple flag, and
we always require full authentication.
- `sq toolbox strip-userid` has been removed.
- All cert designators now use the `--cert-` prefix, e.g. `sq key
export --email` has been changed to `sq key export --cert-email`
for consistency reasons, and to free `--name`, `--email`, and
`--userid` for user ID designators.
- The `--binary` argument has been removed from all commands but
those that emit signed and or encrypted messages.
- The command `sq toolbox extract-cert` has been removed in favor
of `sq key delete` and `sq key subkey delete`.
- The command `sq packet split` now writes to stdout by default.
- The argument `sq packets split --prefix` is now called
`--output-prefix`.
- `sq pki vouch certify` is now called `sq pki vouch add`.
- We now certify newly generated keys with a per-host shadow CA.
- The argument `sq encrypt --signature-notation` has been added.
- All arguments to add signature notations have been renamed from
`--notation` to `--signature-notation`.
- When generating keys, either `--own-key` or `--shared-key` has to
be given. The former marks the key's user IDs as authenticated
and makes it a trusted introducer. The latter marks the key's
user IDs as authenticated, and marks the key as a group key.
- The argument `sq cert lint --export-secret-keys` has been
removed: if a secret key is provided as file input, it will be
emitted.
- The argument `sq key subkey export --cert-file` has been removed.
- `sq` now reads a configuration file that can be used to tweak a
number of defaults, like the cipher suite to generate new keys,
the set of key servers to query, and the cryptographic policy.
- The command `sq keyring filter` is now considered experimental
and may change in the future. To acknowledge this, it has to be
invoked with the `--experimental` flag.
* Changes in 0.39.0
** Notable changes
- Subcommand `sq key userid strip` has been moved to `sq toolbox
strip-userid`.
- `sq key adopt` supports adopting bare keys (i.e., a primary key
without any signatures).
- `sq key adopt` add options (`--can-sign`, `--cannot-sign`,
`--can-authenticate`, `--cannot-authenticate`, `--can-encrypt`,
`--cannot-encrypt`) to allow overriding the key flags.
- `sq key adopt` now accepts the option `--creation-time` to allow
the user to override the key's creation time.
- `sq key adopt` sets the key's creation time to the current time
(while respecting `--time`) if `--creation-time` is not
specified, and the key's time is the Unix epoch.
- To select the type of generated DNS resource records a new switch
has been introduced. `sq network dane generate --type generic`
replaces the old `--generic` flag.
- `sq key adopt` is now called `sq key subkey bind`.
- The option to verify a detached signature has been renamed from
`--detached` to `--signature-file`: `sq verify --signature-file
foo.sig foo.txt`.
- `sq key userid revoke` has a new flag `--add-userid` that adds
missing user IDs, analogous to the flag in `sq pki certify`.
Previously, the global `--force` was used for this.
- `sq pki link add` and `sq pki link retract` have a new flag
`--recreate` that forces a signature to be created even if it
should not be necessary because the parameters did not change.
Previously, the global `--force` was used for this.
- The global `--force` flag has been renamed to `--overwrite` and
now controls whether existing files are overwritten.
- The argument `--signer-key` is now just called `--signer`.
- The arguments to name recipients for encryption now use the
`--for` prefix, as in `sq encrypt --for-email alice@example.org`.
Further, `--recipient-cert` is now just called `--for`
- The environment variables to override the default cert store and
key store location have been renamed from SQ_CERT_STORE to
SEQUOIA_CERT_STORE, and SQ_KEY_STORE to SEQUOIA_KEY_STORE,
respectively.
- `sq toolbox packet split` now requires an explicit output
parameter.
- `sq pki certify` no longer supports using expired or revoked
certificates; the options `--allow-not-alive-certifier` and
`--allow-revoked-certifier` have been removed.
- `sq toolbox keyring filter --handle` has been made more robust by
splitting `--handle` into `--cert` and `--key`, where the former
only matches on primary keys, and the latter matches on both
primary keys and subkeys.
- The argument `sq network keyserver publish --require-all` is the
default now and has been removed.
- The argument `sq key generate --rev-cert ...` is now mandatory if
`--output` has been given.
- `sq network fetch` has been renamed to `sq network search` to
emphasize that this is key discovery, and may return related or
even wrong results. Likewise for the key server, WKD, and DANE
methods.
- `sq pki certify`'s positional argument for specifying the user ID
to certify must now be specified using a named argument,
`--userid`, or `--email`. The `--email` argument no longer
changes the meaning of how `--userid` is interpreted, but takes
an email address. The `--userid` and `--email` arguments may be
given multiple times to certify multiple user IDs at once.
- `sq pki certify`'s positional argument for specifying the
certificate to certify must now be specified using a named
argument, `--cert` or `--cert-file`.
- Previously `sq pki certify` could create certifications, and mark
a certificate as a trusted introducer (when the user set
`--depth` to be greater than zero). The latter functionality has
been split off to the new subcommand `sq pki authorize`.
- Add the `--domain` argument to `sq pki authorize` so the user
doesn't have to manually convert a domain to a regular
expression.
- `sq pki link add`'s positional argument for specifying the
certificate to link must now be specified using a named
argument, `--cert`.
- `sq pki link retract`'s positional argument for specifying the
certificate to unlink must now be specified using a named
argument, `--cert`.
- Removed `sq pki link add`'s positional argument for specifying a
user ID directly or by email address. Use the named arguments,
`--userid` or `--email` instead.
- Add `--add-userid` to `sq pki link add`. This aligns it with `sq
pki certify`.
- Removed `sq pki link add`'s `--petname` argument. Use `--userid`
in conjunction with `--add-userid` instead.
- Previously `sq pki link certify` could create certifications, and
mark a certificate as a trusted introducer (when the user set
`--depth` to be greater than zero). The latter functionality has
been split off to the new subcommand `sq pki link authorize`.
- Move `sq pki certify` to `sq pki vouch certify`.
- Move `sq pki authorize` to `sq pki vouch authorize`.
- Move `sq pki list` to `sq cert list`.
- Add a new flag `--all` to `sq network wkd publish` and `sq
network dane generate` that adds all certificates with a user ID
in the target domain that can be authenticated.
- The argument `sq verify --signer-cert` is now called `--signer`.
- The argument `sq network wkd --rsync` which previously had an
optional value argument has been split into two arguments, a
boolean `--rsync` to enable the use of rsync, and `--rsync-path`,
which implies `--rsync`, to specify a path to the local rsync
executable.
- When exporting certificates selected by user IDs (i.e. --email,
--userid, --domain, or --grep), the bindings are authenticated and
only those certificates that can be authenticated are exported.
- The do-what-I-mean query parameter has been removed from `sq cert
export`.
- `sq autocrypt import` has been merged into `sq cert import`.
- `sq autocrypt decode` and `sq autocrypt encode-sender` are
removed without substitute.
- `--cert` now only looks up by primary key fingerprint.
- The argument `sq key delete --cert-file` has been renamed to
`--file`.
- The argument `sq key delete --file` now requires `--output`.
- The argument `sq cert lint --cert-file` has been renamed to
`--file`.
- The argument `sq key password --cert-file` has been renamed to
`--file`.
- The argument `sq key password --file` now requires `--output`.
- The argument `sq key expire --cert-file` has been renamed to
`--file`.
- The argument `sq key expire --file` now requires `--output`.
- The argument `sq key revoke --cert-file` has been renamed to
`--file`.
- The argument `sq key revoke --file` now requires `--output`.
- The argument `sq key userid add --cert-file` now requires
`--output`.
- The argument `sq key userid revoke --cert-file` now requires
`--output`.
- The argument `sq key subkey add --cert-file` has been renamed to
`--file`.
- The argument `sq key subkey add --file` now requires `--output`.
- The argument `sq key subkey delete --cert-file` has been renamed
to `--file`.
- The argument `sq key subkey delete --file` now requires
`--output`.
- The argument `sq key subkey password --cert-file` has been
renamed to `--file`.
- The argument `sq key subkey password --file` now requires
`--output`.
- The argument `sq key subkey expire --cert-file` has been renamed
to `--file`.
- The argument `sq key subkey expire --file` now requires
`--output`.
- The argument `sq key subkey revoke --cert-file` has been renamed
to `--file`.
- The argument `sq key subkey revoke --file` now requires
`--output`.
- The argument `sq key subkey bind --cert-file` has been renamed to
`--file`.
- The argument `sq key subkey bind --file` now requires `--output`.
- The argument `sq key approvals update --cert-file` now requires
`--output`.
- The pEp store integration has been removed.
- Removed `sq pki path`'s `--gossip` argument, it didn't actually do
anything.
- Changed `sq key subkey expire`'s expiration argument from a
positional argument to a named argument, `--expiration`.
- Changed `sq key expire`'s expiration argument from a positional
argument to a named argument, `--expiration`.
- Changed `sq key revoke`'s reason and message arguments from
positional arguments to named arguments, `--reason`, and
`--message`, respectively.
- Changed `sq key subkey revoke`'s reason and message arguments from
positional arguments to named arguments, `--reason`, and
`--message`, respectively.
- Changed `sq key userid revoke`'s reason and message arguments from
positional arguments to named arguments, `--reason`, and
`--message`, respectively.
- `sq cert import` now supports importing bare revocation
certificates.
* Changes in 0.38.0
** Notable changes
- New subcommand `sq key subkey delete` to delete secret key
material.
- New subcommand `sq network wkd publish` that publishes
certificates in a WKD over rsync.
- Removed now obsolete `sq network wkd generate`.
- Removed `sq network wkd url` and `sq network wkd direct-url`.
- Renamed subcommand `sq key attest-certifications` to `sq key
approvals update` to reflect the new name in the draft, and to
make room for introspection commands.
- New subcommand `sq key subkey password` to change the password
protecting secret key material.
- The subcommand `sq network keyserver publish` can now publish
certs from the certificate store using the `--cert` parameter.
- The subcommands `sq key generate` and `sq key userid add` gained
the options `--name` and `--email` as a more user-friendly way to
specify user IDs.
- All short options with the exception of `-v` have been removed.
We will judiciously add some back before releasing 1.0.
- The dot output has been removed. Those relying on it can use the
standalone sq-wot tool.
- New subcommand `sq key subkey export` to export individual keys.
This functionality was split off from `sq key export`.
- `sq key generate` and `sq key subkey add` now prompt for a
password by default. This can be disabled by passing
`--without-password`.
- New subcommand `sq key approvals list` that lists approved
third-party certifications and those pending approval.
- Remove `sq cert export`'s `--key` argument. Change `--cert` to
match both primary keys and subkeys.
* Changes in 0.37.0
** Notable changes
- Remove PKS support.
- `sq key userid add` can now use the certificate store and the
keystore.
- `sq key userid add` no longer accepts positional arguments. The
user ID is provided by the `--userid` argument, and the
certificate by `--cert` or `--cert-file`.
- Drop the `--certificate-file` argument from `sq key revoke`, `sq
key subkey revoke`, and `sq key userid revoke` drop the
`--certificate-file`. (The certificate can still be specified
using `--cert-file`.)
- Rename the `--revocation-file` argument to `--revoker-file` in
`sq key revoke`, `sq key subkey revoke`, and `sq key userid
revoke`.
- `sq key revoke --cert-file`, `sq key revoke --revoker-file` `sq
key subkey revoke --cert-file`, `sq key subkey revoke
--revoker-file`, `sq key userid revoke --cert-file`, and `sq key
userid revoke --revoker-file` now accept `-`, which means to read
from stdin.
- `sq key revoke`, `sq key subkey revoke`, and `sq key userid
revoke` now reads from the certificate store when using `--cert`
or --revoker`. When `--cert` is used, and `--output` is not
specified, the resulting revocation certificate is saved to the
certificate store.
- The user ID argument to `sq key userid revoke` is no longer a
positional argument, but must be specified with `--userid`.
- Change `sq cert lint` to not read from stdin by default.
- In `sq cert lint`, change the certificate file parameter from a
positional parameter to a named parameter, `--cert-file`.
- `sq cert lint` can now use the certificate store and the
keystore.
- In `sq key subkey add`, change the certificate file parameter
from a positional parameter to a named parameter, `--cert-file`.
- `sq key subkey add` now reads from the certificate store when
using `--cert`. When `--cert` is used, and `--output` is not
specified, the new subkey is saved to the key store.
- In `sq key expire`, change the certificate file parameter from a
positional parameter to a named parameter, `--cert-file`.
- Split the functionality to update a subkey's expiration time off
of `sq key expire` and into `sq key subkey expire`.
- Rename `sq key subkey expire`'s `--subkey` argument to `--key`.
- `sq key expire` and `sq key subkey expire` can now use the
cert store and the key store.
- Add the `--password-file` argument to the `sq sign` command to
allow the user to prefill the password cache with a password from
a file.
- In `sq key password`, change the certificate file parameter from a
positional parameter to a named parameter, `--cert-file`.
- `sq pki certify`'s certifier parameter interprets `-` as meaning
it should read the certificate from stdin.
- In `sq pki certify`, change the certifier file parameter from a
positional parameter to a named parameter, `--certifier-file`.
- `sq pki certify` can now use the cert store and the key store.
- In `sq key adopt`, change the certificate file parameter from a
positional parameter to a named parameter, `--cert-file`.
- `sq key adopt` can now use the cert store and the key store.
- In `sq key attest-certifications`, change the certificate file
parameter from a positional parameter to a named parameter,
`--cert-file`.
- In `sq key attest-certifications`, don't make `--all` the
default, but require the user to specify it (or `--none`)
explicitly.
- `sq key attest-certifications` can now use the cert store and the
key store.
- Rename the `--expiry` argument to `--expiration`.
- Rename `sq key password`'s `--clear` argument to `--clear-password`.
- Add a top-level `--password-file` argument to seed the password
cache. Remove `sq key password`'s `--old-password-file`, and `sq
sign`'s `--password-file` local arguments in favor of this
argument.
* Changes in 0.36.0
- Missing
* Changes in 0.35.0
- Missing
* Changes in 0.34.0
** Notable changes
- `sq` now uses `sequoia-keystore` for secret key operations.
When decrypting a message, `sq` will automatically ask the
keystore to decrypt the message. `sq sign --signer-key` can be
used to specify a signing key managed by the key store.
- New top-level option: `sq --no-key-store`: A new switch to
disable the use of the key store.
- New top-level option: `sq --key-store`: A new option to use an
alternate key store.
- New subcommand `sq key list` to list keys managed by the key
store.
- New subcommand `sq key import` to import a key into the key
store.
- When showing a user ID for a certificate, choose the one that is
most authenticated.
- `sq network wkd publish` publishes and updates WKD hierarchies
via rsync.
* Changes in 0.33.0
** Notable changes
- The command line interface has been restructured. Please consult
the manual pages and review any code and documents using the
interface. Notably:
- `sq import` and `sq export` have been moved to `sq cert`.
- `sq wot` has been renamed to `sq pki`.
- `sq link` and `sq certify` have been moved to `sq pki`.
- `sq lookup, `sq keyserver`, `sq wkd`, and `sq dane` have been
moved to `sq network`.
- All commands retrieving certificates from network services are
now called `fetch`, e.g. `sq network fetch` and `sq network
dane fetch`. The command for publishing certs on key servers
is now called `sq network keyserver publish`.
- `sq armor`, `sq dearmor`, and `sq packet` have been moved to
`sq toolbox`.
- `sq --version` is now `sq version`, and `sq output-versions`
has been integrated with that command.
- The manual page generation has been improved, and manual pages
and shell completions are generated during the build process. To
write the assets to a predictable location, set the environment
variable `ASSET_OUT_DIR` to a suitable location.
* Changes in 0.32.0
** New functionality
- Support for password-encrypted keys has been improved. For
example, a newly generated subkey can be password protected.
- When encrypting a message with a password, or creating a new
password-protected key or subkey, or changing passwords on a key,
sq now prompts you to repeat the password to catch typos.
- Literal data metadata can now be set using
`--set-metadata-filename` and `--set-metadata-time`.
- sq now reads the file
/etc/crypto-policies/back-ends/sequoia.config
to configure its cryptographic policy. The file to load can be
overridden using the SEQUOIA_CRYPTO_POLICY environment variable.
For more information on the format, see:
https://docs.rs/sequoia-policy-config/latest/sequoia_policy_config/#format
- New subcommand: `sq dane generate`.
Generates DANE records for the given domain and certificates. DANE is a
way to distribute OpenPGP certificates via DNS.

- When querying network resources via `sq keyserver get`, `sq wkd
get`, or `sq dane get`, multiple queries can be given that are
executed simultaneously.
- When querying key servers via `sq keyserver get` or `sq keyserver
send`, multiple servers are queried simultaneously.
- There are now four default keyservers:
- hkps://keys.openpgp.org
- hkps://mail-api.proton.me
- hkps://keys.mailvelope.com
- hkps://keyserver.ubuntu.com
- New subcommand: `sq lookup`.
Searches for certificates using all supported network services.
** Notable changes
- Padding has been disabled to increase compatibility with other
implementations.
The padding method we previously used relies on a compressed data
packet to pad the message. However, some implementations do not
gracefully process these padded encryption containers, so until
we get proper padding support from the next revision of OpenPGP,
we disable padding.
- Message notarization has been disabled.
Message notarization and their semantics are not well defined,
and there is no consensus on how to do that.
- When doing a userid, subkey, or third-party certificate
revocation, with the cert given to --certificate-file containing
secret key material, we previously emitted a revocation
certificate containing secret key material. This has been fixed,
and tests have been added to ensure secret key material is only
emitted where we expect it to be.
* Changes in 0.31.0
** New functionality
- `sq key subkey add` allows to create and add a new subkey to an
existing certificate.
- The functionality of `sq-keyring-linter` is now available as
`sq keyring lint`.
- The new subcommands `sq key revoke`, `sq key subkey revoke` and
`sq key userid revoke`, allow writing to a file using the
`--output` option.
** Notable changes
- The `--keyring` option is now global and can be specified anywhere
when calling `sq`.
** Deprecated functionality
- The `--expires` and `--expires-in` options used in various
subcommands are deprecated in favor of the unifying `--expiry`.
- `sq key generate --export FILE` is deprecated in favor of the more
generic `sq key generate --output FILE`.
- The `sq revoke certificate` command has been renamed to `sq key
revoke`.
- The `sq revoke subkey` command has been renamed to `sq key subkey
revoke`.
- The `sq revoke userid` command has been renamed to `sq key userid
revoke`.
* Changes in 0.30.1
** Notable changes
- The `crypto-botan` feature now selects Botan's v3 interface. Use
the new `crypto-botan2` feature to continue using Botan's v2
interface.
** Notable fixes
- Several parser bugs were fixed in sequoia-openpgp 1.16.0 and
buffered-reader 1.2.0. These are all low-severity as Rust
correctly detects the out of bounds access and panics. Update
Cargo.lock to make sure we use these versions.
* Changes in 0.30
** New functionality
- `sq key adopt` now honors `--time`.
- Add `sq key adopt --expire` to allow setting an adopted key's
expiration time.
- Add support for using pEp's certificate store. A pEp certificate
store can be used by specifying `sq --pep-cert-store PATH` or
setting the environment variable `PEP_CERT_STORE`.
* Changes in 0.29
** New functionality
- `sq` now supports and implicitly uses a certificate store. By
default, `sq` uses the standard OpenPGP certificate directory.
This is located at `$HOME/.local/share/pgp.cert.d` on XDG
compliant systems.
- `sq --no-cert-store`: A new switch to disable the use of the
certificate store.
- `sq --cert-store`: A new option to use an alternate certificate
store. Currently, only OpenPGP certificate directories are
supported.
- `sq import`: A new command to import certificates into the
certificate store.
- `sq export`: A new command to export certificates from the
certificate store.
- `sq encrypt --recipient-cert`: A new option to specify a
recipient's certificate by fingerprint or key ID, which is then
looked up in the certificate store.
- `sq verify --signer-cert`: A new option to specify a signer's
certificate by fingerprint or key ID, which is then looked up in
the certificate store.
- `sq verify` now also implicitly looks for missing certificates in
the certificate store. But, unless they are explicitly named
using `--signer-cert`, they are not considered authenticated and
the verification will always fail.
- `sq certify`: If the certificate to certify is a fingerprint or
Key ID, then the corresponding certificate is looked up in the
certificate store.
- Add a global option, `--time`, to set the reference time. This
option replaces the various subcommand's `--time` argument as
well as `sq key generate` and `sq key userid add`'s
`--creation-time` arguments.
- Add top-level option, `--trust-root`, to allow the user to
specify trust roots.
- Extend `sq encrypt` to allow addressing recipients by User ID
(`--recipient-userid`) or email address (`--recipient-email`).
Only User IDs that can be fully authenticated are considered.
- Extend `sq verify` to verify certificates looked up from the
certificate store using the web of trust. If the signature
includes a Signer's User ID packet, and the binding can be fully
authenticated, consider the signature to be authenticated. If
there is no Signer's User ID packet, consider the signature to be
authenticated if any binding can fully be authenticated.
- Add `sq link add`, which uses the local trust root to
certify the specified bindings.
- Add `sq link retract`, which retracts certifications made by the
local trust root on the specified bindings.
- Add `sq link list`, which lists the links.
- Add a top-level option, `--keyring`, to allow the user to specify
additional keyrings to search for certificates.
- Import web of trust subcommands from sq-wot. Specifically, add:
- `sq wot authenticate` to authenticate a binding.
- `sq wot lookup` to find a certificate with a particular User ID.
- `sq wot identify` to list authenticated bindings for a
certificate.
- `sq wot list` to list authenticated bindings.
- `sq wot path` to authenticate and lint a path in a web of trust.
- `sq keyserver get`, `sq wkd get`, and `sq dane get` now import any
certificates into the certificate store by default instead of
exporting them on stdout. It is still possible to export them
using the `--output` option.
- When `sq keyserver get` (for verifying key servers), `sq wkd get`,
or `sq dane get` saves a certificate to the local certificate
store, `sq` certifies the validated User IDs (all returned User
IDs in the case of verifying key servers; User IDs that contain
the looked up email address in the case of WKD and DANE) using a
local service-specific proxy CA. If the proxy key doesn't exist,
it is created, and certified as a minimally trusted CA (trust
amount 1 of 120) by the local trust root. The proxy certificates
can be managed in the usual way using `sq link add` and `sq link
retract`.
- Extend `sq inspect` to inspect certificates from the certificate
store using the `--cert` option.
** Deprecated functionality
- `sq key generate --creation-time TIME` is deprecated in favor of
`sq key generate --time TIME`.
- `sq key user id --creation-time TIME` is deprecated in favor of
`sq user id --time TIME`.
