| == Gpg4win 2.3.0 (November 2015) * Faster crypto operations for larger files/email attachments. Via technical: support for AES-NI in gcrypt. * GpgOL: ** Reading compatibility with email applications that send out standard crypto emails, e.g. as send by Thunderbird/Enigmail by default. Via technical: read support for MIME messages (PGP/MIME and S/MIME) "official" Outlook APIs. ** Prepared for the future to read emails from Gpg4win 3 versions. Technical: the version 3 versions will most likely only create crypto/MIME mails. ** Outlook 2016 Support |

Gpg4win Roadmap
This page lists the major goals that are worked on. For minor releases only the next release is listed with some more details.
Life Cycle
- For the crypto engine, see GnuPG's EOL. Note that GnuPG can be updated for Gpg4win by using the simple GnuPG installer.
- Gpg4win 3.1.x with GnuPG 2.2 will be maintained as part of GnuPG VS-Desktop GnuPG Desktop at least until Gpg4win 4 gains approval for restricted communication in Germany.
Gpg4win 4 (Q4 2021)
- GnuPG 2.3
- Improved Subkey handling in GpgOL and Kleopatra to better support "rules of representation (Vertreterregeln)".
- New smartcard handling with support for multiple smartcards.
- Additional Smartcard support for PIV Application - with GUI
- 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)
- Further improvements to automated encryption -> default on.
- Usability and automation improvements
- One focus is improved hardware token support (Yubikey, GnuK-Token) and for the GnuK-Token to improve availability in Europe.
For each release
- Update of third party libraries.
- Update of GnuPG and libraries.
Additional features from wishlist (needs cleanup) depending on funding and available time.
