I still find it much easier to use off of a USB key than 2.x, and so continue to use it, FWIW. The 2.x version doesn't work with the (non-FLOSS) shell I use either, but that isn't a reason to keep it mentioned. Avi User:Avraham pub 3072D/F80E29F9 1/30/2009 Avi (Wikimedia-related key) avi.w

With the release of modern, is there intent to support ECC in classic?

Good morning/afternoon/evening. I know that this has been discussed previously, but now that GnuPG modern has been released with ECC support, is there the intention to add that support to the classic build in the near-to-internediate future? Thank you, Avi User:Avraham pub 3072D/F80E29F9

Re: With the release of modern, is there intent to support ECC in classic?

Understood, Werner and Rob, thank you for the clarification. I'll try to install a minimal version of GnuPG 2.1 and see how that works. As always, the work of the GnuPG developers, maintainers, and supporters is greatly appreciated! Avi User:Avraham pub 3072D/F80E29F9 1/30/2009 Avi
