  1. #GnuPG v2.5.14 is here to try.

    A no-brainer upgrade for those who use the 2.5 series already. You'd get some defects fixed and a new secret key export-import for the Post quantum cryptography (#PQC) algorithm "Kyber". RCF8332 for ssh is now supported.

    For others: the 2.5 series is good for Windows 64 and PQC. #LibrePGP #OpenPGPv4 #EndtoEndCrypto

  2. @DD9JN ... and #GnuPG v2.5.13 is a production ready version with improvements for PQC encryption and Windows.

    This version comes with a few smaller security improvements over the previous release, and reduces problems if several applications use GnuPG as crypto engine in the background.

  3. Back from the summer, #GnuPG 2.5.12 is now ready for production usage.
    And this includes the post-quantum cryptography encryption (#PQC) support which is the main feature of the 2.5 series. (Okay, there is also better support for 64bit Windows.)

    So give it a spin or point your favourite GNU/Linux distribution to it for packaging.

  4. #GnuPG's "public testing release series" has a new version 2.5.7.

    Remember:

    * It is for you, if you want to test the new
    post-quantum cryptography (PQC) features
    or the 64 Bit Windows support.

    * The series features Kyber (FIPS-203) as PQC encryption algorithm.

    A new Gpg4win 5 Beta is forthcoming in the next days.

  5. 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.

  6. 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.

    gpg4win.org/version4.4.html <-- see what else is new.
