#GnuPG's "public testing release series" has a new version 2.5.7.
https://lists.gnupg.org/pipermail/gnupg-announce/2025q2/000493.html
Remember:
* It is for you, if you want to test the new
post-quantum cryptography (PQC) features
or the 64 Bit Windows support.
* The series features Kyber (FIPS-203) as PQC encryption algorithm.
A new Gpg4win 5 Beta is forthcoming in the next days.
Technical details: https://dev.gnupg.org/T7671
If you are using the PDF viewer #Okular_from #Gpg4win, please upgrade to version 4.4.1 as this version fixes a severe vulnerability in the freetype library.

Vulnerability details:
https://euvd.enisa.europa.eu/enisa/EUVD-2025-6367
There are other good things in Gpg4win 4.4.1, for example
* improvements in the Outlook Add-in (GpgOL)
* a better Kleopatra
* GnuPG upgraded to v2.4.8
Better handling of certificates and public keys
with #Gpg4win v4.4.0's improved crypto manager _Kleopatra_.
It also comes with #GnuPG v2.4.7 for Windows. Workflows that profit from several signatures on a file
profit as well.

#GnuPG 2.4.5 comes with a number of improvements,
that look small at first sight, but can be decisive
if you have the use case. Like one additional NFC reader (ACR-122U)
and one ECC card from D-Trust are supported. Or getting pubkeys
from behind a proxy is fixed. Details: https://dev.gnupg.org/T6960

#Gpg4win v4.3.0 <- freshly announced.
New is that encrypted files with email structure from disk can be shown.
Kleopatra and the Outlook Add-in gain features and resilience for less common situations (like Apple mail attachments or unreliable S/MIME CRLs).
Includes #GnuPG v2.4.4 and its many improvements.

Look at https://gpg4win.org/version4.2.html to see why freshly released #Gpg4win 4.2.0 makes a difference: Includes an experimental, lightweight PDF reader geared towards secure environments.(To use the validation and signing abilities of the included PDF Reader #Okular by #KDE today, you'd probably need to be an expert to configure the certs. Usability is planned to improve with later releases). Gpg4win is faster for large files and with many public keys. #GnuPG 2.4.3 included. #EndtoEndCrypto #OpenPGP
Looking into #GnuPG 2.4.3, which is available now: It is a typical small point release which fixes some minor defects and improves the performance on Windows, especially for for large files.
Noteworthy also: the default expiration time period for new public keys has been increased to 3 years and that there is a new PKCS#12 parser (yes GnuPG's gpgsm can do CMS for S/MiME ;) ).

@fsf Thanks for promoting a decentral comunication solution - email and OpenPGP with GnuPG! As for the guide,: keyservers and the web of trust have lost quite a bit of relevance in recent years. What would be really cool is to select an email provider that offers the pubkeys via the web key directory. https://wiki.gnupg.org/WKD and bring your public key up there. #GnuPG #FreeSoftware #EndtoEndCrypto
Today it is to celebrate 25 years of #GnuPG a #FreeSoftware implementation of the '#OpenPGP and #CMS standards for #endtoendcrypto . For this GnuPG 2.4.0 is announced and #Gpg4win 4.1.0, see https://lists.gnupg.org/pipermail/gnupg-announce/2022q4/000477.html and https://lists.wald.intevation.org/pipermail/gpg4win-announce/2022/000099.html
