Thank you Patrick, In general, I recommend GnuPG 2.0.x for regular users. 2.1.x is the current development version of GnuPG with sometimes major changes (and errors) between each version. I don't see this recommendation matched on the Enigmail website or the GnuPG website. If GnuPG 2.1.x is less supported by a particular Enigmail version, it would be helpful to state so in future Enigmail changelogs. A note to say that Enigmail 1.9.4 is known to work up to GnuPG 2.1.13 for example would be of great help. The Enigmail changelog[1] says "This version requires GnuPG 2.0.7 or newer. GnuPG 1.4.x is not supported anymore." since version 1.9 The GnuPG website[2] says "2.1.14 is the modern version with support for ECC and many other new features". When I go to the download page on gnupg.org and follow the links, I see links to GnuPG 2.1.14 for Windows, created by GnuPG, and OSX, created by you. 1) https://www.enigmail.net/index.php/en/download/changelog 2) https://gnupg.org/ -- Samir Nassar web: samirnassar.com email: [email protected] PGP: pgp.samirnassar.com
