New recover key

Hi all,
today I changed the current development version to use a brand new recover key.
This became necessary, as the one used in version <= 5.1.3 is not considered
safe anymore with its 1024 bit key size.
The new key has a size of 4096 which should cover us for some time.
This affects all those of you who are using the bleeding edge master version
or build from source code of the master branch, use GPG encryption and also
encrypt using the recover key (would be nice to know, who is using that feature
except me).
All users who do not use GPG encryption and the recover key and all those
who use the stable version <= 5.1.3 are not affected. The old key can be
used with the stable version until it expires early January of next year.
And in case you are about to ask: no, I won't extend it (again).
The details have been added to the KMyMoney web site at
