Description

GnuPG Made Easy (GPGME) is a C language library that allows to add support for cryptography to a program. It is designed to make access to public key crypto engines like GnuPG or GpgSM easier for applications. GPGME provides a high-level crypto API for encryption, decryption, signing, signature verification and key management.

GPGME comes with language bindings for Common Lisp, C++, QT, Python2 and Python 3.

GPGME uses GnuPG and GpgSM as its backends to support OpenPGP and the Cryptographic Message Syntax (CMS).

This is not yet fixed. KDE still applies a patch to gpgmepp (and gpgmeqt) to ifdef a few GCCisms.

• ebo added a comment to T4195: Fix time API in gpgme.

While key generation works now with an expiry date up to 2106-02-04, the representation on the command line is a bit ugly.

timegrid closed T6688: Kleopatra GPGME: Reported assert on exit as Resolved.

I'm not sure, how to reproduce this. On gpg4win-5.0.0-beta479 @ win11 I quit Kleopatra with a smartcard inserted, the process exits with code 0, so it looks fine and I'm setting this to resolved.

I decided to prioritize developer experience and provide simplified, high-level functional abstractions instead of maintaining 1:1 parity with the underlying gpgme library functions. See example in T8021
