Version 2.5.13-1 of
gnupg2
is available in the Cygwin distribution:
CHANGES (from upstream Annouce)
We are pleased to announce the availability of a new GnuPG release:
Version 2.5.13. This release adds new features and fixes a couple of
bugs.
Note that this 2.5 series is fully supported and thus ready for
production use. This means we won't break anything but may add some
more features before 2.6.
The main features in the 2.5 and 2.6 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. Please be
aware that the 2.4 series will reach end of life in June next of year.
