I just released #PGPainless 2.0.3, which fixes a bug where OpenPGP keys were not usable for certain operations if they contained recent third-party signatures.
Kind of embarrassing and I'm glad to have a fix out now :)

Furthermore, PGPainless now implements #SOP revision 15.

#openpgp #bc184

#PGPainless is the core library of the ecosystem, additionally providing a CLI tool (pgpainless-cli).

The 2.0.0 release brought OpenPGP v6 support and integrates #bouncycastle 1.82.

I just released #PGPainless 2.0!

The new release comes with support for #OpenPGP v6 (#rfc9580) leveraging #BouncyCastle|s new high-level OpenPGP API internally.

The API saw substantial changes compared to the 1.7 release line. Among others, it migrated away from the singleton pattern towards configurable API instances.

You can download the (Linux_x86_64) native CLI binary binary here: https://github.com/pgpainless/pgpainless/releases/tag/2.0.0

Towards OpenPGP v6 in PGPainless

I’m very excited to announce the results of what I have been working on for the past 1,5 years. *drumrolls*

I added support for OpenPGP v6 (rfc9580) in both Bouncy Castle and PGPainless! In this blog post, I want to go over the work in more details.
