The new modularized architecture of gnupg 1.9 as well as the X.509/CMS
part has been developed as part of the Ägypten project.  Direct
contributors to this project are: Bernhard Herzog, who did extensive
testing and tracked down a lot of bugs.  Bernhard Reiter, who made sure
that we met the specifications and the deadlines. He did extensive
testing and came up with a lot of suggestions. Jan-Oliver Wagner made
sure that we met the specifications and the deadlines.  He also did
extensive testing and came up with a lot of suggestions. Karl-Heinz
Zimmer and Marc Mutz had to struggle with all the bugs and
misconceptions while working on KDE integration. Marcus Brinkman
extended GPGME, cleaned up the Assuan code and fixed bugs all over the
place. Moritz Schulte took over Libgcrypt maintenance and developed it
into a stable an useful library.  Steffen Hansen had a hard time to
write the dirmngr due to underspecified interfaces. Thomas Koester did
extensive testing and tracked down a lot of bugs.  Werner Koch designed
the system and wrote most of the code.

This software has been made possible by the previous work of Chris
Wedgwood, Jean-loup Gailly, Jon Callas, Mark Adler, Martin Hellman,
Paul Kendall, Philip R. Zimmermann, Peter Gutmann, Philip A. Nelson,
Taher Elgamal, Torbjorn Granlund, Whitfield Diffie, some unknown NSA
mathematicians and all the folks who have worked hard to create
complete and free operating systems.

And finally we'd like to thank everyone who uses these tools, submits
bug reports and generally reminds us why we're doing this work in the
first place.
