*20* years ago SHA-1 was broken: researchers found a weakness that reduced its collision resistance from 2^80 to 2^69 hash operations. That's a long time ago.
NIST deprecated SHA-1 in 2011 and disallowed its use in signatures in 2013. That's a long time ago.
In 2020, the SHAmble authors showed that chosen prefix attacks against SHA-1 were feasible for 11 kUSD.
You can check your OpenPGP certificate using:
sq cert lint --cert FINGERPRINT
Add --fix to fix any issues.

If you want to learn more about sq, @nwalfield will present it at @fosdem in the security dev room on Saturday at 13.00
@LWN has published a review of sq. From the article:
"The first 1.0 release of a project is sometimes a bit rough, but in Sequoia's case that does not appear to be the case. The tool supports all of the basic operations of an OpenPGP implementation, integrates well with existing software, and has a discoverable interface that makes it easy to come up to speed in a short time."
In der aktuellen Ausgabe des Open Source Spotlight Newsletter des @ct_Magazin wirft @ktn einen Blick auf sq 1.0, unuser CLI, und führt ein Interview mit mir (@nwalfield) über die Gründung von Sequoia PGP, was wir vorhaben und wohin die Reise geht.

A Sapling Matures: Meet sq 1.0
The Sequoia PGP team is happy to announce the release of version 1.0 of sq. sq is a command-line tool for working with OpenPGP artifacts with a focus on usability, security, and robustness.
After seven years of development, this is sq’s first stable release. A notable change for existing users of sq is that we will no longer change sq’s CLI in an incompatible manner.
Four years ago today, we released version 1.0 of sequoia-openpgp, our low-level OpenPGP library. 🥳
