Release Notes (v2.1.4.3)

NOTICE: The current minor version number (3 in v2.1.4.3) has not been stabilised, during which time feedback can be given on any problems encountered. Depending on the situation, certain issues will be quickly fixed and released with a new minor version number. If the issue affects your daily use, please keep checking this page and download the latest version.

  • Bug Fixes: Resolved various reported issues, including interface display problems and AppImage crashes (#166, #165, #151).
  • Key Search Enhancement: The keyword search now includes all UIDs of a key (#164).
  • Key Details Access: Double-clicking a key in the key list will open its details (#163).
  • Customizable Key List Columns: Users can now adjust the types of columns in the key list (#152).
  • Key Generation: Added support for generating subkeys with Elgamal, X448 and ED448 algorithms. The primary key also supports more algorithm options, all mentioned depending on the GnuPG version. (#154)
  • Flatpak Dark Mode Support: Flatpak now supports both manual and automatic dark mode (automatic mode may not work in all cases).
  • PaperKey Integration: Integrated the PaperKey functionality as a module, allowing export of a printable and storable key format. (BETA)
  • Memory Safety: Adopted the mimalloc library with the highest security mode on Windows and Linux platforms. This includes various security measures to prevent heap memory usage issues and related attacks. (Removed by v2.1.4.3)
  • Pinentry Modularization: The integrated Pinentry has been modularized and moved to the module repository.
  • Module System: Continued to enhance the module system by separating module code from application code and placing it in a new repository.
  • Qt6 Version Updates: All Qt6 release versions are now using Qt 6.7.2.
  • macOS 14 (M1) Support: Provided build versions for macOS 14, fully built on the M1 platform. This means that eligible Mac users no longer need to install Rosetta. As a trade-off and considering the end of its maintenance period, builds for macOS 11 will no longer be provided.

NOTE: The Qt5 version of GpgFrontend no longer comes with modules, only the application ontology is included. Therefore, the Qt6 version is recommended.
