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.

#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.

Want an #EmailRenaissance! As there are so many structural advantages to email, by being able to communicate to people outside of your organisation, adding #endtoendsecurity, and having your own software decide what to display how and when. Using email in an advanced way is control taken back from big IT companies. And this also explains partly why many fully email clients appear to be old these days: There is not much money to be made from them ... they don't sell your data or attention. πŸ€” πŸ’Œ πŸ“¬

#GnuPG 2.2.25 fixes minor regression over last week's 2.2.24 for hardware tokens https://dev.gnupg.org/T5140 #FreeSoftware #EndToEndSecurity (As users often only start testing when there is a real release, doing more releases is a good thing, even if you get more regressions, as there is more stability and more functionality over time on the average. :) #SoftwareEngineeringExplanationOfTheDay )
