GnuPG VS-Desktop 3.2.1

GnuPG VS-Desktop® version 3.2.1 is available since 2024-01-08. This is a bugfix release for Windows versions only. The previous version was 3.2.0.

Solved Bugs

GUI (Kleopatra)

  • During startup, the new code implemented in Version 3.2.0 to reduce icon load times could trigger a crash. This issue was particularly noted on Windows Server 2016 Enterprise LTSC. However, if Kleopatra launches successfully for you, you are not affected by this problem. (T4066)
  • A permission check issue was discovered that could incorrectly fail to detect write permissions on NTFS network shares. This would lead to an error message when attempting to save decrypted files in such a folder. This issue was introduced in Version 3.2.0. (T6917)

Outlook Add-In (GgpOL)

  • A crash issue has been resolved that could occur when switching between different Outlook views, for example, from the calendar back to the mail view, while a crypto mail was open. This crash was only happening in Outlook versions older than Outlook 2019 or when the "always preview messages" setting was enabled. This potential crash affected all modern versions of GpgOL. (T6861)

Known Problems

There are isolated reports that GpgOL in version 3.2.0 or 3.2.1 is showing some issues when displaying encrypted emails which did not occur in version 3.1.26. If this is the case for you, please send us a log file. Proceed as follows:

Please check the "Enable logging" box in the GpgOL options in the Troubleshooting tab and select the log level +Outlook API. Then restart Outlook and look at a mail that you had problems displaying. Then deactivate logging again immediately and send us the log file with your customer number to support@gnupg.com, together with a brief description of the problem.

Workaround

In the Troubleshooting tab of GpgOL under "Potential workarounds", check the box "Do not save encrypted mails before decryption".
