Werner Koch has announced
the release of GnuPG 2.5.19. This release includes a few new options
and a number of bug fixes, and comes with the reminder that the
GnuPG 2.4 series will reach end-of-life soon
The main features in the 2.5 series are improvements for 64 bit Windows
and the introduction of Kyber (aka ML-KEM or FIPS-203) as PQC encryption algorithm. Other than PQC support the 2.6 series will not differ a lot
from 2.4 because the majority of changes are internal to make use of
newer features from the supporting libraries.
Note that the old 2.4 series reaches end-of-life in just two months.
Thus update to 2.5.19 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 GnuPG 2.4 is no
longer supported.
