I won't be able to join due to most important local activities. Weel, unless they are canceled due to too stormy wheather. But a pirate shouldn't care.

• Last week:
  • libgcrypt: T4274: Fail selftests when checksum file is missing in FIPS mode only
  • dirmngr: T4367: gnupg fails to build with gcc9
    • Removing questionable use of compound literals.
  • libksba: T4104: gpgsm/ksba removes leading zeros from signature byte array
    • BER/DER encoding INTEGER has zero prefix, but PKCS#1 is fixed length octets.
    • For ECDSA, we use INTEGER, thus we need zero prefix in libksba
    • In gpg-agent, we should use the format of libgcrypt for smartcard
  • smartcard reader project: https://www.gniibe.org/memo/development/ttxs/ttxs-hardware.html
  • Chopstx 1.2.14

• This week:
  • Gnuk 1.2.14 on Monday
  • More on smartcard reader project
  • Testing Scute (piv and openpgp card)

I wonder if we will need a new GnuPG release for the next Gpg4win because of the VS-NfD GPGSM change.

Last week:

• Mostly Gpg4win work. Fixed some more issues for Gpg4win-3.1.6
• Worked with a likely customer on some GpgOL problems and communication.
• Still more problems keep popping up.
• Did not get around to look at the Gpgtar problem.

This week:

• Further Gpg4win work, both for the customer and for the community. I think T4347 T4332 T4350 might be still blockers.
