Version 2.2.22 of GnuPG has been released. GnuPG stands for GNU Privacy Guard and is also often abbreviated to GPG. This is a collection of tools for securing communication flows and data. It can be used to encrypt data and create digital signatures, and to provide a framework for public key cryptography. It supports both OpenPGP and s/mime standards. For more information, please refer to this page. The main changes made in this release are listed below.

Noteworthy changes:

  • gpg: Change the default key algorithm to rsa3072.
  • gpg: Add regular expression support for Trust Signatures on all platforms. [T4843]
  • gpg: Fix regression in 2.2.21 with non-default –passphrase-repeat option. [T4991]
  • gpg: Ignore –personal-digest-prefs for ECDSA keys. [T5021]
  • gpgsm: Make rsaPSS a de-vs compliant scheme.
  • gpgsm: Show also the SHA256 fingerprint in key listings.
  • gpgsm: Do not require a default keyring for –gpgconf-list. [T4867]
  • gpg-agent: Default to extended key format and record the creation time of keys. Add new option –disable-extended-key-format.
  • gpg-agent: Support the WAYLAND_DISPLAY envvar. [T5016]
  • gpg-agent: Allow using –gpgconf-list even if HOME does not exist. [T4866]
  • gpg-agent: Make the Pinentry work even if the envvar TERM is set to the empty string. [T4137]
  • scdaemon: Add a workaround for Gnuk tokens <= 2.15 which wrongly incremented the error counter when using the "verify" command of "gpg --edit-key" with only the signature key being present.
  • dirmngr: Better handle systems with disabled IPv6. [T4977]
  • gpgpslit: Install tool. It was not installed in the past to avoid conflicts with the version installed by GnuPG 1.4. [T5023]
  • gpgtar: Handle Unicode file names on Windows correctly (requires libgpg-error 1.39). [T4083]
  • gpgtar: Make –files-from and –null work as documented. [T5027]
  • Build the Windows installer with the new Ntbtls 0.2.0 so that TLS connections succeed for servers demanding GCM.
