| == 2.2.3 (very minor bugfix release) * Fix -vanilla packaging to include gnutls * Update assuan and libgcrypt as intended with 2.2.2 |
This page lists the major goals that are worked on. For minor releases only the next release is listed with some more details. |
| Line 8: | Line 6: |
| == 2.2.4 * update of third party libraries * update of gnupg version and libraries * (Claws will not be updated, because overall time pressure and lack of help with it.) |
One focus is improved hardware token support (Yubikey, GnuK-Token) and for the GnuK-Token to improve availability in [[https://dev.gnupg.org/T4363|Europe]]. |

| === GnuPG 2.1 integration | * GnuPG 2.2 will be security maintained at least until the end of 2022. GnuPG can be updated individually from Gpg4win. * GnuPG 2.3 will be security maintained at least until the end of 2024. |

| === Shall we remove Claws-Mail from the installer? | * Draft encryption in GpgOL (experimental) * S/MIME Addressbook integration for GpgOL * Configurable Key table in Kleopatra with additional columns |
| Line 24: | Line 24: |
| 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. |
== Gpg4win 3.2 (late summer 2019) |
| Line 28: | Line 26: |
| 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. |
* GnuPG 2.3 ** Basic ECC Support in ~Gpg~S~M (including brainpool curves) ** [[https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-openpgp-rfc4880bis|RFC4880bis]] support with new ~A~E~A~D methods (EAX, OCB) in GPG ** Support for OpenPGP v5 keys using SHA-256 fingerprints. * Better support for [[https://wiki.gnupg.org/AutomatedEncryption|automated encryption]] for ~Open~P~G~P in GpgOL * Improved archive / folder support in Kleopatra * Usability improvements * Draft encryption in GpgOL (stable) == Gpg4win 3.3 (early 2020) * Authenticated encryption support for S/MIME in Gpg~S~M * Better Microsoft Exchange / GAL integration for GpgOL (fingerprints and encryption info as attributes in the GAL) * Further improvements to automated encryption -> default on. * Additional S/MIME Smartcard support. * (maybe) Rework of ~Gpg~E~X to have "ZIP Style" explorer integration for encrypted files. * Usability improvements == For each release * Update of third party libraries. * Update of Gnu~P~G and libraries. //Additional features from [[../Wishlist|wishlist]] (needs cleanup) depending on funding and available time.// |
