Any particular reason why app-crypt/gnupg-2.3.0 is still package.mask'ed? This GnuPG version brings important new features, especially support for using multiple card readers and tokens at the same time. Thanks.
As per https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/info-gnu/2021-04/msg00000.html, it is not a stable release and is for “testing”.
Thanks for the pointer - didn't know it was just a testing release. Does this mean there are no plans to unmask 2.3.x?
No worries, I was curious at first too. We’ll see what the maintainers say, but given how critical gpg is, I imagine they will wait either for 2.4.x (when this becomes stable) or at least a few more releases in to this series.

Thanks, this looks interesting.
