thanks for the clarification. i was not objecting to the workflow, i was trying to understand so that i can interact with the bug tracker appropriately. I was unaware of the difference between "milestones" and other project tags. I'll try to get that right in the future.

I have added the NEWS for Kleopatra for Gpg4win 4.4.0. I have excluded the following tickets from the NEWS for various reasons:

Please do not add milestone tags.

gnupg24 (gnupg-2.4.5) is a milestone and means "fixed in gnupg24 (gnupg-2.4.5)". I suggest not to question the workflow of the people running this bug tracker.

@ebo i'm not sure i understand why you removed the gnupg24 (gnupg-2.4.5) project label. the report indicates that GnuPG 2.4.6 at least (other versions untested, but i didn't see a gnupg24 (gnupg-2.4.6) label in this system) produces MPI artifacts for EdDSA/Ed25519 signatures that are non-compliant with all the known specifications. the 2.2 series appears to retain compatible MPI formats.

Fixed and now autosaved draft are also correctly restored when restarting gpgol.js

with no real world impact.

This is not a bug in 2.2, this is a bug in 2.4.

2.2. reaches EOL in 6 weeks and thus we won't look at a potential problem with no real world impact.

I suggest to make the following text changes for the VSD versions only:

after a bit more testing, it looks to me like 2.2.45 will revise the signature packet to use 0x00ed as the MPI header for r, if it receives input from 2.4.6. And 2.4.6 will revise the signature packet to use 0x0100 as the MPI header for r. So the same OpenPGP self-sig will change shape each time it is passed back and forth between the different versions.

In select_application function, we can minimize the holding W-lock.

This may requires major changes for scdaemon.

For the cancelling operation, each card reader access should have an independent resource manager context.
Currently, a single pcsc.context is shared by all reader accesses.

Hard lockup should be avoided. In particular, following conditions should meet:

• gpgconf --kill scdaemon can kill scdaemon
• KEYINFO requests can be answered for other connections of scdaemon

As of 2024-11-18, my hypothesis is:

• there are some sort of race conditions between PC/SC + card reader (or its driver) + smartcard + scdaemon on Windows, at least at initial use after boot
• because of this, SCardConnect of PC/SC call wrongly fails (somehow confirmed by @ebo's experiments + @gniibe's speculation), or wrongly never returns (@gniibe's guess, side info: its slowness is observed in T7400).

@ebo Thank you for your testing.

@ikloecker indeed we try only for 5 seconds:
