Werner Koch has announced
the release of GnuPGÿ2.5.19. This release includes a few new options
and a number of bug fixes, and comes with the reminder that the
GnuPGÿ2.4 series will reach end-of-life soon

The main features in theÿ2.5 series are improvements forÿ64 bit Windows
and the introduction of Kyber (aka ML-KEM or FIPS-203) as PQC encryption algorithm. Other than PQC support theÿ2.6 series will not differ a lot
fromÿ2.4 because the majority of changes are internal to make use of
newer features from the supporting libraries.

Note that the oldÿ2.4 series reaches end-of-life in just two months.
Thus update toÿ2.5.19 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 GnuPGÿ2.4 is no
longer supported.
