Hi,

Version 0.6 of Web of trust statistics and pathfinder, Wotsap, is now running on and available from http://www.lysator.liu.se/~jc/wotsap/.

In the development process I found some pretty image representations of the Web of Trust that might interest many readers of this mail. Take a look at http://www.lysator.liu.se/~jc/wotsap/leafoftrust.html for images and analysis.

Some of the changes since last version:

- The web pages have been given a well-needed face lift. - Much more documentation - Stabler and better search URLs. - News in HTML, Atom and RSS formats. - Mailing lists

- All keys and signatures are now verified with GnuPG. - The primary user ID is now always used. - Indication of signature cert check level and whether the primary user ID was signed. - New .wot file format including signature types.

- Key statistics can show the signatures that would lower MSD most (by Marco Bodrato) - Group matrices - show all signatures within a group of keys. - Option to dynamically add signatures, exclude signatures, signature types, non-cross-signatures and keys for the duration of a query.

Stand-alone program only: - Better command line handling. - Show a whole .wot file in human-readable format. - Show all differences between two .wot files. - Everything now works without warnings in Python 2.3, should work fine in Python 2.4 and has compatibility for Python 2.2.

Thanks for all the encouragement and ideas I received from lots of people during this development cycle.
