The current gpg4win code signing certificate[0] is notAfter: 2025-07-02 12:12:13. I wish to alert the gpg4win developers so they can renew it, and release gpg4win 5 (and other) packages signed with the new cert. My apologies if this is not an appropriate list; gpg4win-users-en and gpg4win-devel both seem dead.

Please note, I absolutely never use Microsoft anything, I do not use gpg4win, and I cannot check this myself. I am remotely/anonymously urging a GnuPG newbie to install gpg4win 5 beta[1] with post-quantum encryption; everyone should use PQC *yesterday*.[2] Since the user does not yet have a bootstrap gpg, they cannot verify the PGP signature from Werner Koch’s dist signing key. The user wisely tried to verify package integrity with Microsoft code signing, and asked me what the expired cert error meant instead of ignoring it.

Good user! Do not ignore certificate validation errors! Complain loudly!

Always,
