There's been a significant amount of work on nymphemeral since my
last announcement. Changes include:

  * several bugfixes and cleaner code
  * hsub database now encrypted on disk
  * all user-saved messages (default is not to save) encrypted on disk
  * custom email headers are now allowed (useful for posting to newsgroups)
  * inbox shows more information
  * installation script works on Centos as well as Debian/Ubuntu
  * probably more that I can't remember.

The easiest way to install nymphemeral is to use pip
(sudo apt-get install python-pip on Debian/Ubuntu).

For pip version < 1.5:
  sudo pip install nymphemeral

For pip version >= 1.5:
  sudo pip install --process-dependency-links nymphemeral

If you want to upgrade to the new version and installed nymphemeral
previously with pip, simply add the --upgrade flag to the above
commands.

Source code and alternate installation instructions are on github:

  https://github.com/felipedau/nymphemeral

Once you've got it installed, just type:
  nymphemeral

to launch the GUI. Usage instructions and GUI screenshots are at:

  https://felipedau.github.io/nymphemeral/usage/usage.html

Nymphemeral works with the nym.now.im nymserv. Details and the
public key are at:
