Using GPA 0.9.4 in linux. I downloaded a file and its signature as a .asc from a website that I have used many times. While looking at the spelling of the filename, I accidentally clicked on the signature file and launched GPA so decided to use it to verify the download. GPA gave me a 'bad' stat

moving up from 2.0.26 to 2.1.1

2015-02-10 Thread Philip Jackson
