Description:
Werner Koch has announced the release of GnuPG2.5.19. This release includes a few new options
and a number of bug fixes, and comes with the reminder that the
GnuPG2.4 series will reach end-of-life soon The main features in the2.5
series are improvements for64 bit Windows
and the introduction of Kyber (aka ML-KEM or FIPS-203) as PQC encryption algorithm. Other than PQC support the2.6 series will not differ a lot
from2.4 because the majority of changes are internal to make use of
newer features from the supporting libraries. Note that the old2.4 series reaches end-of-life in just two months.
Thus update to2.5.19 in time. As always with GnuPG new versions are
fully compatible with previous versions. LWN recently
covered Fedora's discussion about what to offer after GnuPG2.4 is no
longer supported.
