Last time the most obviously new thing was adding the *What\'s New*

section to the HOWTO. Now it\'s moving it out of the HOWTO.

New in GPGME 1·13·0

-------------------

Additions since GPGME 1.12.0 include:

-  Moving the *What\'s New* section out of the basic

   `HOWTO <gpgme-python-howto.org>`__ document and into its own file so

   as to more readily include other documents beyond that HOWTO.

-  Moving the preceding, archival, segments into `another

   file <what-was-new.org>`__.

-  Added ``gpg.version.versionintlist`` to make it easier for Python

   developers to check for a specific version number, even with beta

   versions (it will drop the \"-betaN\" part).

-  Added expanded detail on issues pertaining to installing for Windows

   users.

-  Bindings enter `maintenance mode <maintenance-mode>`__ from January,

   2019.

-  Added documentation on maintenance mode and what changes can be made

   to the code when in that status. Essentially that boils down to bug

   fixes only and no feature requests.

-  The import-keys-hkp.py example script, which uses the ``hkp4py``

   module to search the SKS servers for a key, has been tightened up to

   search for both hexadecimal key IDs and user ID strings with reduced

   chance of unnecessary repitition. There may still be some repetition

   if a key includes a user ID matching the hexadecimal value of a key

   ID.
