use of Windows 7 as operating system and the switching to GnuPG2 for the Gpg4win package.<br /><br />As usual don't hesitate to contact in case you have any

is with great pleasure I can make a small announcement today.<br /><br />The new Protektor [*] Manuals are in the works and just wanted to share the main differences from version 9.2/3. <br />The release of the new manuals will happen soon and will be called version 10.2.<br /><br />For starters the biggest change will be that there will be no more Encrypting of VoIP for now. <br />With the buying of Gizmo by Google there is currently no solution available that I can (with my hand on my heart) advise to end-users. <br /><br />There are some thoughts flying around on how to deal with this but at the moment <br /><br />- Protektor [*] Windows Manual - Version 10.2<br />Windows 7 will be used as operating system.<br />Eraser updated to version 6.0.6:1376<br />GPG4win updated to version 2.0.1<br />Pidgin updated to version 2.6.5<br />Truecrypt updated to version 6.3a<br /><br />- Protektor [*] OS X Manual - Version 10.2<br />OS 10.5 will be used as operating system. Currently 10.6 still causes too much problems with GPG.<br />Permanent Eraser updated to version 2.4.1<br />Mac Gnu Privacy Guard updated to version 1.4.9<br />Adium updated to version 1.3.10<br />Truecrypt updated to version 6.3a<br /><br />- Protektor [*] Linux Manual - Version 10.2<br />Ubuntu 9.10 will be used as operating system.<br />SRM updated to version 1.2.10<br />Pidgin updated to version 2.6.5<br />Truecrypt updated to version 6.3a<br /><br />That's it for now...<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1191285960557261727-7838245022192876781?l=protektor-blog.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Protektor [*]http://www.blogger.com/profile/17194680186283615516noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1191285960557261727.post-8927286417316436532009-04-04T20:18:00.002-04:002009-04-04T20:20:04.342-04:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_YKRnq3VM7-s/Sdf5ASSfh6I/AAAAAAAAABE/rbTTO2vp5PU/s1600-h/full+manual.png"><img style="display:block;

Version 9.2<br /><br />*Replace the (XXX) with Win for Windows (tm), Lnx for Linux and OSX for Apple*<br /><br />The reason for jumping from version 2 to 9.2 was inspired by some software releases.<br /><br />Since the Protektor [*] Manual follows different software packages and the updates of the Manual do not depend on individual software releases the chosen versioning numbers will help everybody to avoid confusion about what version is being used.<br /><br />To read more about versioning:<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Software_versioning" target="_blank">click here</a>.<br /><br />T<.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1191285960557261727-6899046094285872282?l=protektor-blog.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Protektor [*]http://www.blogger.com/profile/17194680186283615516noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1191285960557261727.post-58310367950679172112009-01-04T17:53:00.001-05:002009-01-04T17:55:00.488-05:00First Post!<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1191285960557261727-5831036795067917211?l=protektor-blog.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Protektor [*]http://www.blogger.com/profile/17194680186283615516noreply@blogger.com0
