I got this impression but couldn't find anything specifically saying it was archived. I filed a bug earlier and included https://dev.gnupg.org/T7993#210212 for one issue in it, but if it's not been revised since, perhaps it should be archived with a banner on each page or something, as it's readily found via search engines at the moment. > I believe GnuPG did not even support RSA until version 1.0.3 and > AES/Rijndael until version 1.0.4, which were released in 2000, meaning > the handbook exclusively addresses DSA and ElGamal, making it 25 years > out of date.
