The March release for #GnuPG in the PQC public testing release series is here: v2.5.5 only has a few fixes, but those seem important ... removing potential "hangs" 🧐 on windows and elsewhere.

And here is #GnuPG 2.5.4 a month after 2.5.3. Remember: this is a public beta release series, adding a post quantum cryptography algorithm for encryption (kyber768 an kyber1024) so you can play with the future! :)

For those following the "public testing" release series of #GnuPG that includes support for post-quantum cryptographc (PQC), a new version 2.5.3 is available -- with only minor improvements.

Better handling of certificates and public keys
with #Gpg4win v4.4.0's improved crypto manager _Kleopatra_.

It also comes with #GnuPG v2.4.7 for Windows. Workflows that profit from several signatures on a file
profit as well.

#GnuPG 2.4.6 is available. Accumulated fixes and small improvements over the last 7 months. There is even a new tool `gpg-mail-tube` to encrypt an email automatically in a pipe. Give it a try, especially if you use hardware tokens.

Discovered https://useplaintext.email/ ✉️ which is quite nice. As a number of #GnuPG devs have filters in place that only let plain text emails pass (allowing attachments and OpenPGP/MIME signatures of course) I've updated our https://wiki.gnupg.org/EMailClients/Thunderbird recommendations. #Thunderbird ⛈️ 🐦 #FreeSoftware 📨

#Gpg4win v4.3.0 <- freshly announced.

New is that encrypted files with email structure from disk can be shown.

Kleopatra and the Outlook Add-in gain features and resilience for less common situations (like Apple mail attachments or unreliable S/MIME CRLs).

Includes #GnuPG v2.4.4 and its many improvements.

#GnuPG v2.4.4 is available and has a number of improvements for you, especially if you do your cryptography with "smartcards" like yubi-keys. Most important is that a recent defect was fixed that could leave unprotected copies of a secret key on disk. 🙁 Also more cards are supported and getting pubkeys is improved. See

#LibrePGP is an alternative, updated specification of the #OpenPGP encryption standard.

Implementations like RNP (used by Thunderbird) and GnuPG (the crypto engine in Gpg4win) have working code in their implementations since 2018.

Our wiki at https://wiki.gnupg.org got two new front news (which aren't news to you on the fediverse), a brief list of steps to configure a smartcard with Kleopatra on windows (https://wiki.gnupg.org/SmartCard#On_Gpg4win) and stuff. Help is always appreciated. BTW: Have you seen the cool PDF signing video with #Okular at https://gpg4win.org/img/screenshots/okular-en.webm yet? (Linked from the 4.2 Gpg4win announcement).

Look at https://gpg4win.org/version4.2.html to see why freshly released #Gpg4win 4.2.0 makes a difference: Includes an experimental, lightweight PDF reader geared towards secure environments.(To use the validation and signing abilities of the included PDF Reader #Okular by #KDE today, you'd probably need to be an expert to configure the certs. Usability is planned to improve with later releases). Gpg4win is faster for large files and with many public keys. #GnuPG 2.4.3 included. #EndtoEndCrypto #OpenPGP

Looking into #GnuPG 2.4.3, which is available now: It is a typical small point release which fixes some minor defects and improves the performance on Windows, especially for for large files.

Noteworthy also: the default expiration time period for new public keys has been increased to 3 years and that there is a new PKCS#12 parser (yes GnuPG's gpgsm can do CMS for S/MiME ;) ).
