| == 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 |

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 4.1.0 (tba)
Gpg4win 4.0.x (2022)
- Fixing important defects.
- Will be released as needed.
- New features (that keep the user experience).
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
