Since I'm in an especially patriotic mood today, I've just uploaded the 2.7b beta release of Private Idaho (which started out life as a Windows PGP shell, but is turning into the "mother of all privacy tools" shell). Significant new additions include: Automated install application - no more installing and updating new releases of PI by hand (many thanks to Colin Tan for writing the Setup application). The install application comes bundled with PGP QuickStart, a utility for helping new users download and install PGP. Expert and user modes - for new users, user mode provides a limited set of commonly used commands. Expert mode gives you access to all of the commands. Steps - again, another feature for new users. Step-by-step information on how to perform common tasks. Change nym account reply blocks - easy way to change nym reply blocks. Anonymizer support - support for C2's new anonymous Web browsing server. Select a URL from any text within Private Idaho and your browser will anonymously access that Web page. Mixmaster support - support for Mixmaster type 2 remailers. Variable word-wrap length - select window size, 65, 70, or 75 character line length.
