• Outlook Express: Improvements to compatibility with international characters have been made.

• Novell GroupWise 6.5.1 is now a supported platform.

• Some Unicode fixes have been applied for very long names.

• Substring matching is no longer allowed for email addresses. Matches must be exact in order to bypass the recipient key confirmation dialog that appears when encrypting an email.

• Some corrupt keys could cause the recipient key confirmation dialog when encrypting an email to abort. Such keys are now ignored.

• PGP SDK: PGP 8.1.0 EN uses a newer version of the PGP SDK which includes various new features and fixes. The follow is an overview of the changes to the PGP SDK:

Changes to PGP since the release of version 8.0.2 include:

• PGP 8.0.3 contains compatibility fixes for running alongside PGP Universal Satellite. Please make sure not to attempt installation of PGP 8.0.2 or lower over PGP Universal Satellite.

• PGP 8.0.3 is now compatible with Office 2003 and Windows Server 2003.

• Support for GroupWise 6.5 has been added.

• Outlook attachment decryption now preserves the original filename in cases where the encrypted file was renamed to preserve security of the filename such as from PGP Universal.

• Issues with imported X.509 certificate validity in the absence of a self-signature have been corrected.

• Support for automatically detecting attempts to spoof signature verification text blocks has been added.

• Freespace wipe on non-NTFS volumes would sometimes not succeed. This has been fixed.

• Automatic download of ADKs from keyservers in the Notes plugin has been fixed. Various other fixes have been made to this plugin.

Changes to PGP since the release of version 8.0.0 include:

• A revoked self-signature on a user ID is now represented as a revocation for the user ID. Revoked user IDs are removed from the list of recipients prior to display.

PGP uses a license number system to determine what PGP features will be active on your computer. For complete information about PGP licensing and purchase options, go to https://store.pgp.com.

PGP functionality depends on the type of license you purchase:

• Personal Desktop: includes support for PGP Mail, PGP Disk, and the personal email plugins -- Eudora, ICQ, Outlook Express, and Outlook. Although the Outlook plugin will be installed, you will not be able to use it if you have configured Exchange Server accounts.
• Workgroup Desktop: includes support for PGP Mail, PGP Disk, and all email plugins -- the personal email plugins plus GroupWise, Lotus Notes, and support for Exchange Server environments in Outlook.
• Corporate Desktop: includes support for all PGP functionality mentioned above, plus PGP Admin and PGP Keyserver.

You can also use PGP without a license, but for non-commercial use only. This is called PGP Freeware. Commercial use of PGP Freeware is a violation of the License Agreement.

If you choose PGP Freeware (and you are legally permitted to do so under the end-user license agreement for non-commercial use), then you will be able to use PGP Mail. The PGP email plugins and PGP Disk will not be available.

To install PGP on your system:

1. Find the PGP installer program.
2. Double-click the installer program.
3. Follow the on-screen instructions.

• PGP 8.0.0 introduced full support for UTF-8 internationalized passphrases in both PGP Disk and PGP Mail. In some cases, passphrases created with older versions of PGP that used High-ASCII characters will need to be changed using the older version of PGP to eliminate such characters. Once the passphrase has been changed to use ASCII characters, it can be changed again with PGP 8.0 to include characters from the entire Unicode character set.

• Filenames in some international character sets are not fully supported in this release for file operations.

• The Outlook Express plugin does not fully support some Asian and Arabic character sets in this release. For best results, use Windows XP with keys that do not use these character sets in their user ID, and use encrypted messages with a UTF-8 character set rather than clear-signed messages.

• Proper handling of HTML messages in Eudora requires that the "Use Microsoft Viewer" option in Eudora is turned off.

• Use of the IMAP protocol in Eudora will prevent proper decryption of PGP/MIME messages. This problem is fixed in Eudora 5.2 and above.

• Mozilla does not correctly implement the standard Edit --> Copy command. Spurious extra lines are inserted after quoted text blocks when copying text from a Mozilla message window. PGP's Use Current Window feature can report failure on signature verifications of signed messages containing quoted text in Mozilla due to this. This is Mozilla bug #144998 opened over 2 years ago.

• Windows Explorer provides PGP with information only about the target of a shortcut and not the shortcut itself. If you use the Wipe feature in Explorer, the shortcut itself will not be wiped. The actual target will be wiped. When using PGP Mail, the shortcut will also be wiped.

• Hotkeys are for use with applications that support general text editing. Using Hotkeys with other kinds of applications may result in unpredictable behavior.

• The PGP ICQ plug-in is not compatible with ICQ's Multilanguage mode and Split Message mode. Please make sure those options are disabled for proper operation of the ICQ plug-in.

• Versions of Microsoft Word prior to 2003 did not support plugins at all, and a warning will appear if the Outlook plugin is installed and Word is set as the Outlook editor. However, Word 2003 now partially supports the Outlook plugin when used as the email composition engine. The toolbar buttons for PGP will not be visible, but if you use the Encrypt by default or Sign by default options, they will still take effect.

• Using the IMAP protocol with Outlook in combination with PGP's Automatic Decrypt/Verify option can cause deleted messages to appear when you read an HTML/RTF formatted PGP message. These are harmless artifacts of the decryption process that can be hidden by selecting "Hide messages marked for deletion" in Outlook's View menu.

• When using the Outlook plugin with Exchange Server, make sure to use the latest Service Pack of Exchange Server. Several known issues may be encountered when using versions of Exchange Server that have not been properly updated.

• Certain Microsoft Windows operating system services are needed to authenticate communication between PGP components on your computer. On Windows NT, the "RPC Configuration" network service is required. On Windows 2000/XP, the "Client for Microsoft Networking" component must be installed, but may be disabled if so desired.

• The DKeyServ.exe service from the iKey Token software must be running in order for the iKey to interoperate properly. If Rainbow's software is already installed on your computer, go to the Services control panel and make sure that the Startup Type is set to "Automatic" for DKeyServ.exe. If the Rainbow software is not yet installed on your computer and you want to load this service automatically during its installation, then select the "Start CIP during Windows startup" check box. Also note that the Rainbow driver software does not appear to be fully compatible with Windows XP at the time of this release.

• Wiping small files (under 1K) on some NTFS-formatted disks can leave remnants of the file behind. This is due to an NTFS optimization which stores file data in internal data structures for very small files. These structures are not considered freespace even after deleting a file, and thus they also will not be wiped using Freespace Wipe. In addition, NTFS supports Journaling which can save wiped file data in an internal operating system cache. For the highest security wiping on NTFS disks, we recommend starting your system from an OS on a different partition and using PGP's new option in the Freespace Wipe feature to overwrite these NTFS data structures. This note does not affect FAT32 and other supported filesystems.

• The Roxio Easy Media Creator software (formerly titled Adaptec DirectCD) is fully compatible with PGP. However, you must not create a PGP Disk on a CD-R using the Drag to Disc feature that allows in place additions. You may create a PGP Disk on a normal hard drive and then copy it to the CD-R.
