New Features

GUI (Kleopatra)

  • The German approval manual is now available as a Help item. (T6945)
  • If Kleopatra was — despite warnings — started with elevated rights, it will in this case now quit on close. (T7049, T7050)

Solved Bugs

GUI (Kleopatra)

  • Improved "Lookup on server" process when no Keyserver is configured. (T6761, T6866, T6868)
  • The gpg-agent will now be restarted immediately by Kleopatra in case the background processes are stopped with "Restart background processes". (T7021)

Engine (GnuPG)

  • There is no longer an unprotected smartcard backup key left on disk. This bug affects only users of GnuPG VS-Desktop® versions 3.2.0 and 3.2.1 if, and only if, they didn't followed the standard procdure on how to intialize an OpenPGP card or Yubikey. See 20240125-smartcard-backup-key for a security advisory. (T6944)
  • Revocation of a RSA2048 key (and other non-compliant algorithms) is now possible. (rG89c7eccba5)
