That is fortunately not true. I work full time on GnuPG and related software, Gniibe is working at least half-time on it, Ben started to work half-time and Andre spends most of his paid time on Gpg4win and also GnuPG. This is possible due to our generous donors as well as from a few successful projects we did in the last 3 years. > 2.

Right; we keep it - it is important to have a way to decrypt old data. Some minor changes will be done over time but for example, mitigation's against side-channel attacks and such won't happen. It does not require a lot of resources. > What I percieve a lot in this thread are variations of "I wanna stay in > bed for five more minutes mommy". I wonder if Werner and Robert should :-) Salam-Shalom, Werner -- # Please read: Daniel Ellsberg - The Doomsday Machine # Die Gedanken sind frei. Ausnahmen regelt ein Bundesgesetz.
