Hello all,
I've recently started looking into gpg-agent again, because it seems
the redraw issues that used to plague pinentry calls have been
resolved. In doing so, I discovered that there's now a Gnupg2 (or
rather, 2.0.9) that is available above and beyond my standby Gnupg
1.4.9. The www.gnupg.org website says that Gnupg2 is more suited for
desktop use, and that got me curious: what's the difference between
the two? What's the advantage of using one over the other? I have both
installed now, but neither the man page nor the gnupg.org website
makes the difference and/or benefits particularly clear.
Does anyone here know what the differences between the two are? Why
gnupg2 is recommended for "desktop" use moreso than gnupg1?
~Kyle
