**[[Gpg4win|-> Gpg4win-Section]]** 

**[[WKD| -> Web Key Directory and Service]]**, which makes exchanging crypto mails much easier.

== Notable Events
 * 2018-05-17: [[https://www.gpg4win.de/statement-efail.html|Gpg4win statement on the Efail research]]
 * 2018-02: Project [[https://github.com/mailvelope/mailvelope/wiki/mw2018|mw2018]]  to improve Mailvelope by adding a native Gnu~PG option, better crypto library and webforms.
 * 2017-12-31: End of Life for ~GnuPG 2.0.x. (So you really want to use ~GnuPG 2.2 or Gpg4win 3.0 .)
 * 2017-09-21: [[https://www.gpg4win.org/version3.html|Gpg4win 3.0 released]], includes MIME capable 
   Outlook-Add-in, GnuPG 2.2, [[WKD]]-requests and update notifications.
 * 2017-08-28: [[https://lists.gnupg.org/pipermail/gnupg-announce/2017q3/000413.html|GnuPG 2.2 released]],
   comes with ECC and does "web key directory" requests by default.

 * Building GnuPG 2.1: GnuPG 2.1 is the latest GnuPG version but as with all 2.x versions it has several dependencies, which make building it a bit more difficult.  Here are some notes.

 ** [[Build2.1_Windows|Building for Windows]]

 * API checker:
   [[http://upstream-tracker.org/|Upstream-Tracker.org]] checks ABI/API changes for some libraries like [[http://upstream-tracker.org/versions/gpgme.html|gpgme]],
   [[http://upstream-tracker.org/versions/libgpg-error.html|libgpg-error]],
   [[http://upstream-tracker.org/versions/libgcrypt.html|libgcrypt]].

   Note that the tools can't necessary decide whether something is an ABI or API
   change.  The output should be used as a hint to look for whether there
   might be a problem.  We are not aware of any broken API or ABI
   contracts for the listed libraries.
