= Gpg4win Roadmap

== 2.3.5(unscheduled)
To be done on demand only, 
if an important defect appears that needs a quick fix
and 3.0 is not ready for primetime yet.


== Gpg4win 3.0 beta (2016 - Q3 2017)
 * see [[Gpg4win/Testversions|current testversions]]

 * Stable GnuPG 2.2 integration (with ECC support and ~H~T~T~P~S), ~TOFU trust model and WKD/WKS support.

 * Kleopatra:
 ** Autodetect file contents and treat them accordingly (e.g. If a .gpg file is a cert import it. Or if encrypted decrypt it.)
 ** Rework Sign/Encrypt files dialog to reduce steps and make certificate selection easier / better.
