[ANN] Shroud 0.1 released

[David Thompson]

Hello Guilers,

I am pleased to announce the release of Shroud 0.1.  Shroud is a
simple secret manager with a command line interface.  The password
database is stored as a Scheme s-expression and encrypted with a GnuPG
key.  Secrets consist of an arbitrary number of key/value pairs, making
Shroud suitable for more than just password storage.  For copying and
pasting secrets into web browsers and other graphical applications,
there is xclip integration.

Yes, I know, yet another password manager.  This was to scratch an itch
of mine.  I wasn't happy with any other password management programs
available.  They either didn't use GnuPG or used storage formats that I
didn't like.  For me, the simple s-expression format (just an alist!) is
a big win because of how easy it is to manipulate the structure either
programattically or by hand.

Usage information may be found on Shroud's home page:
http://dthompson.us/pages/software/shroud.html

Bug reports may be sent to me directly.

Happy hacking!

Hi everyone,

I am new to encryption programs. The only thing I have done so far is
to use GPG to generate myself a key and to sign a tarball. What should
I read next to understand the whole concept of encryption and what can
I do with it to protect my piracy? Do you recommend people new to
encryption programs to try your program? Thanks!

Cheers,
Alex

I made a glaring error in my Makefile.am that caused the main 'shroud'
script to not be installed!  Terrible!  So, there is a 0.1.1 release
that fixes it:

Thanks to ArneBab for actually trying Shroud and pointing this out.
Apologies!
