I'm sure I can't be I deliberately removed the link. For those who really really need 1.4 for Windows, they should just read the announcement to see where you can find a binary. After all it has been there for more than a decade and the README files on the FTP server tell that as well. New users on Windows shall not use 1.4 thus it is not anymore linked from the web page. Whether there will be future 1.4 binaries has not yet been decided. Salam-Shalom, Werner -- Die Gedanken sind frei.

Location of GnuPG 1.4.11 Windows binary
I just thought the following might be helpful for Windows users of GnuPG 1.x. I had been running 1.4.10 on Windows for some time and I thought it was time I checked for an upgrade so I visited http://www.gnupg.org/download/ to see if there was a new version. I found that 1.4.11 was available but that the binary download links had disappeared! The only reference to Windows binaries is now via Gpg4win but that project only provides Windows binaries of 2.x and not 1.x. Happily however I found that the traditional standalone Windows binary installer is still in available via FTP. It's simply not linked from the GnuPG website as far as I can see. Here's the link: ftp://ftp.gnupg.org/gcrypt/binary/ Thank goodness for that. If anyone from GnuPG is reading this, please don't stop building (and providing links to) Windows binaries for GnuPG 1.x. I'm sure I can't be the only user of it. :-) I'm sure it wouldn't be the end of the world for me to learn how to compile it for Windows but I know that the GnuPG developers will probably do a better job of it than me. ;-) ___ Gnupg-users mailing list Gnupg-users@gnupg.org http://lists.gnupg.org/mailman/listinfo/gnupg-users
Re: Location of GnuPG 1.4.11 Windows binary
You must have missed my enquiry from some time in July. I was looking for it as well only to copy the link location of one of the FTP links and do some self-searching. It would be useful if they announce 1.x.x upgrades so people will not have to randomly decide when to check the directory for an upgrade. I installed GPG4WIN and uninstalled it because it was just too much for me and the 1.x.x branch is more simple for me anyway since I only need it for the Enigmail extension.
