This week

• libgcrypt topic branch {gniibe/4293} for X* function API
  • merge a part of X25519
  • make a topic branch for X448
• Learn Microchip smartcard reader chip specification and possibly write to Purism people

Last week:

• Worked on GPGME race conditions: Unified the lists of contexts and fds. The new scheme should be easier to understand and maintain. Further improvements are possible. See branch wk/new-wait.
• Fixed bug T4257 and thus T2919 in my working copy
• run-threaded still leaks file descriptors created by a pipe call. Not yet sure why.
• Improved trace code.
• Released gpgme 1.13.1 with collected fix (but not those from above)

This week:

• Work on switching between card applications on the fly for Yubikeys.
