Subject: Re: Recommendations GnuPG-2 replacement
Hi,
I started neopg.io two months ago to provide a modern replacement for
GnuPG. It will go back to a single-binary architecture like gpg1 was,
but move forward on just about every other issue:
* Written in C++
* based on the Botan crypto library instead of libgcrypt
* typical library + CLI (with subcommands) architecture
* better testing (CI, static analysis)
In the beginning, things will be somewhat unstable as I am cleaning up
and restructuring the internals completely, but I try to keep every
commit a somewhat running version (currently keyserver lookup is broken
because I am not registering the root certificate of the keyserver CA -
yes, openpgp keyservers have their own self-signed root CA).
You can follow the progress on neopg.io and the resources linked from
there. I am keen on documenting the changes and the reasons for them as
I go along. I am open to suggestions, just open an issue on GitHub.
Thanks,
Marcus
