Source code releases

These are the canonical release forms of GnuPG. To use them youneed to build the binary version from the provided source code.For Unix systems this is the standard way of installing software.For GNU/Linux distributions are commonly used (e.g. Debian, Fedora,RedHat, or Ubuntu) which may already come with a directlyinstallable packages. However, these version may be older so thatbuilding from the source is often also a good choice. Someknowledge on how to compile and install software is required.

The table lists the different GnuPG packages, followed by requiredlibraries, required tools, optional software, and legacy versionsof GnuPG. For end-of-life dates see further down.

GnuPG distributions are signed. It is wise and more secure to check out for their integrity.

Remarks:

• Pinentry is a collection of passphrase entry dialogs which isrequired for almost all usages of GnuPG.
• GPGME is the standard library to access GnuPG functions fromprogramming languages.
• Scute is a PKCS#11 provider on top of GnuPG.
• GPA is a graphical frontend to GnuPG.
• GnuPG 1.4 is the old, single binary version which still supportthe unsafe PGP-2 keys. This branch has no dependencies on theabove listed libraries or the Pinentry. However, it lacks manymodern features and will receive only important updates.

GnuPG binary releases

In general we do not distribute binary releases but leave that tothe common Linux distributions. However, for some operatingsystems we list pointers to readily installable releases. Wecannot guarantee that the versions offered there are current. Notealso that some of them apply security patches on top of thestandard versions but keep the original version number.

End-of-life announcements

We announce the end-of-life date for a current stable version atthe time a new stable version is released. We maintain oldbranches for at least two years. For GnuPG 2.2 we consider 2.1.0as the birth of this new stable branch. For the other packages wedon't maintain branches and thus there is no end-of-life; alwaysuse the latest version.

• tba: To be announced.
• (1): Legacy version; see remarks above.
