It is an old contentious point. Some claim that the exact version is helpful to locate vulnerable implementations. Other do not agree with that and like to have the version number to have some insight into which versions are actually in use. In the light of recent events the first group got more traction and thus I changed the default. However, I kept the major version number because it is quite interesting to notice the usage of GnuPG-2 compared to -1. Salam-Shalom, Werner -- Die Gedanken sind frei.
