Hello,

We are pleased to announce the availability of a new SKS release:
Version 1.1.3.

SKS is an OpenPGP keyserver whose goal is to provide easy to deploy,
decentralized, and highly reliable synchronization. That means that a key
submitted to one SKS server will quickly be distributed to all key servers, and
even wildly out-of-date servers, or servers that experience spotty connectivity,
can fully synchronize with rest of the system.

The design of SKS is deliberately simple. The server consists of two
single-threaded processes. The first, sks db, fulfills the normal jobs
associated with a public key server, such as answering web requests. The only
special functionality of sks db is that it keeps a log summarizing the changes
to the key database. sks recon does all the work with respect to reconciling
hosts databases. sks recon keeps track of specialized summary information about
the database, and can use that information to efficiently determine the
differences between its database and that of another host.


What's New in 1.1.3
===================

  - Makefile fix for 'make dep' if .depend does not exist. Issue #4

  - Makefile fix: sks and sks_add_mail fail to link w/o '-ccopt -pg'
    Issue #23

  - Added -disable_mailsync and -disable_log_diffs to sks.pod

  * Added file extensions: .css, .jpeg, .htm, .es, .js, .xml, .shtml, .xhtm,
    .xhtml, .xml and associated MIME types to server code. Part of Issue #6

  - Added sample configuration files in sampleConfig directory

  - Added sample web page files in sampleWeb directory. Issues #7, 9, 19

  - Allow requests for non-official options hget, hash, status, & clean to
    be preceded by '-x'. Closes issues #10, 11, 13, & 14.

  * Allow &search with long subkey ID (16 digit) and subkey fingerprint

  * Patch recon script so that POST includes HTTP version number.
