Download Gpg4win 4.1.0

Version 4.1.0 of Gpg4win has been released. This program can add a bit of security to sending emails and files. These can be encrypted with OpenPGP or S/MIME. In addition, a digital signature can be used to verify the integrity of the files or emails as well as the sender. To achieve all this, Gpg4win uses a number of external programs such as GnuPG, Cleopatra, GpgOL and GpgEX. It was also done before G.P.A used, but that is no longer the case. The changelog for this release can be found below.

Changes in version 4.1.0:

• GPA: So long, and thanks for all the fish. To reduce maintenance and overall quality of Gpg4win we have decided to retire GPA. Over the last decade Kleopatra has made large improvements in quality and is very well maintained and the focus of our development. [rW3f7ed3834f]
