I spent my afternoon with git-filter-repo and while that worked nicely I failed to come up with a new build system for the compendium that worked, I tried to do the full autotools shebang but in the evening I realized that a simple static Makefile would probably be better like with the website branch. But I leave that to someone else. I will now tag gpg4win-4.2.0 as "the-last-compendium" and include the pdfs from that version from now on and just remove the compendium from master.
@aheinecke Backport to gpg4win/23.07?

Works for me.
The poppler API exposes key usage extensions, and I'm trying to reconstruct them from the canX flags, which of course is highly inaccurate.
Technically, the canX are already checking a flag internally because _gpgme_key stores the can_X values as single bits. There are still 17 unused bits in _gpgme_key, i.e. there's plenty of space for more flags like can_haz_cheezeburger.
Pushed the change into master of libassuan (to be 3.0).
OK, still the whole usage stuff screams for a flag style api IMO. With all the canX then reduced to checking for the according flags internally.
@werner I am assigning this to you for triage. Basically set it to wontfix or whishlist if you think it would be worthwhile or not for future canHazCheezeburger things
npth_t is untouched for Windows 64-bit.
npth_connect and npth_accept should deprecated (since it's not consistent with 64-bit Windows). In gnupg master, there is no use.
In libassuan 3.0, we distinguish the integer identifier for process and the HANDLE (by T6487).
This was problem was solved.
assuan_sock_accept approach is taken in gnupg master.
gniibe/t6606 patches are all pushed into master.

Good idea.
Use the is_qualified flag to figure out QES certificates. This is more than just a capability flag.
NonRepudiation is not a well defined term. It is used by X.509 but often used similar to a digital signature. Thus this does not make sense. The is_qualified flag is what we need for QeS and it seems we already got this in gpgme.
gpgme puts digitalSignature and norRepudiation into canSign. We need them separated at the sources (maybe exposing keyUsage directly in gpgme. That would also make the code in poppler better and more accurate. I'm trying to reconstruct the keyUsages from the canSign&friends functions.
But shouldn't we then rather rename the shortcut of Kleopatra to: GnuPG VS-Desktop - Kleopatra ? That would make it discoverable under both names.
Our sales team gets the support calls and they have to explain that really often.
All the patch related to this are now merged
werner I strongly disagree here. There is no need for this for our software on Windows and that is definitely not the Windows way, esp. with our current feature set. Do you really think a user wants to start "GnuPG VS-Desktop" to then have a selection between Okular, Outlook, and Kleopatra? That is not how this works at all. Definitely not High priority for us if you think Kleopatra is too hard to discover then we could add another start menu entry for Kleopatra called "GnuPG VS-Desktop" but a starter that only offers to switch between Okular and Kleopatra currently does _not_ have high priority, For windows this is solved with the windows registry, If you want to make Okular - GnuPG Edition your default PDF reader you can, similarly for Kleopatra and please also keep in mind that a user wants to "Encrypt" or "Decrypt" a file. And does not necessarily care about Kleopatra.
