dirmngr (2.1.13-3) experimental; urgency=medium

  gpg and most related processes will auto-launch dirmngr if needed.

  Any user who wants to launch dirmngr manually should do so with:

     gpgconf --launch dirmngr

  and may want to terminate dirmngr when their session ends with:

     gpgconf --kill dirmngr

  Users on machines with systemd can ensure that dirmngr is always
  running for their session (and that it gets terminated at logout)
  with:

     gpgconf --kill dirmngr
     systemctl --user enable dirmngr
     systemctl --user start dirmngr

dirmngr (2.1.0~beta895-1) experimental; urgency=medium

  No more dirmngr system service!
  ===============================
  
  As of the 2.1.0 beta series, dirmngr is a local daemon that works
  closely with gnupg2.  It is launched on its own, per-user, and
  listens on a standard socket (usually ~/.gnupg/S.dirmngr).  There is
  no more system-wide dirmngr process.

  If there is a special case where a dirmngr system process is
  actually needed, please report a bug in dirmngr, and we can sort out
  a way to set one up for that case so that everyone with dirmngr
  installed doesn't need to have it running.
