[Bug 539134] Re: Please backport gnupg 1.4.10

The current version is 1.4.9.  None of the commandline options have
changed, so this should not break anything.  The default type for key
generation has changed, but all applications automating this should use
the commandline options to specify key size and type, sow this should
not be a problem.

What's New
===========

    * 2048 bit RSA keys are now generated by default.  The default
      hash algorithm preferences has changed to prefer SHA-256 over
      SHA-1.  2048 bit DSA keys are now generated to use a 256 bit
      hash algorithm

    * Support v2 OpenPGP cards.

    * The algorithm to compute the SIG_ID status has been changed to
      match the one from 2.0.10.

    * Improved file locking.  Implemented it for W32.

    * Fixed a memory leak which made imports of many keys very slow.

    * Many smaller bug fixes.

    * Support for the Camellia cipher (RFC-5581).

    * Support for HKP keyservers over SSL ("HKPS").
