When signing data with spaces at the end of lines with --textmode (and

I can't seem to find anything related to this with googling or from
NEWS
or ChangeLog file. Was it changed accidentally? Will this get fixed
again in future versions, or should I just stop using --textmode for
my
emails?
This is not a bug. There was a "buglet" in the original OpenPGP
specification around text canonicalization. GnuPG follows the updated
spec (RFC-4880) now. To revert to the older spec, use the "--rfc2440-
text" for this specific issue, or "--rfc2440" for a full reversion.
