GPG 2.1 notes:
- GPG 2.1 eventually times out the passphrase in memory, at which time auto-fetch will stop working unless you type the passphrase again. Manually performing a check-send will cause the passphrase prompt to reappear and auto-fetch will resume if it was enabled.
- You can create ECC keys, but they are not compatible with GPG 1.4. ECC keys are for testing in closed groups at this time. You cannot contact me using an ECC key. My public servers do accept ECC keys.
- If you install the Windows GPG 2.1 version and want to go back to GPG 1.4, uninstall the 2.1 version first, then install the 1.4 version. notification in earlier versions.
