| Rationale: Claws-Mail maintains [[https://www.claws-mail.org/win32/|its own installer for windows]], which often is more current. Supporting it by building in into the Gpg4win 2.0.0 installer was a success, this helped the initiative to get a windows installer and it spread the word. |

| It makes Gpg4win easier to maintain, if we decouple the installers. There is less work to be done, especially less quality control and even some space is safed. |

- ECC Support in GpgSM (including brainpool curves)
- RFC4880bis support with new AEAD methods (EAX, OCB) in GPG
- Support for OpenPGP v5 keys using SHA-256 fingerprints.
- Better support for automated encryption for OpenPGP in GpgOL
- Usability improvements
Ongoing developments
- Authenticated encryption support for S/MIME in GpgSM
- Better Microsoft Exchange / GAL integration for GpgOL (fingerprints and encryption info as attributes in the GAL)
