No, I do mean that support for all PGP 2-related stuff has been dropped from the current stable branch. Modern GnuPG (≥ 2.1) can neither read nor write anything that has been generated by PGP 2.x. Compatibility starts with PGP 5, which dates back to 1997. > When I wrote "2.x.y" above I meant that users should be able > to continue decrypting legacy-encrypted data (albeit with a change of > commands/options compared to the present) with whatever the > currently-supported version of 2.something is at any point in the > future. Well, that's already not the case. If you have pre-1997 data, you need to use GnuPG 1.4, which again *is* still supported precisely for this use case. (You could also, in theory, use GnuPG 2.0.x, but *that* branch is explicitly no longer supported.) Damien
