Great! It seems that some of the changes are directly connected to the topics of the Mailpile blog post Some thoughts on working with GnuPG.

GnuPG 2.1.0 and Mailpile

Thanks for the link, I didn't really know just how small the GPG "team" is... It's really amazing how small the pool of developers is with a lot of our critical infrastructure code. Unsung heroes, tragedy of the commons.

Heh, looks like "Heinrich Heine (Der Dichter)" has been replaced by "Glenn Greenwald <glenn@example.org>".

If Smári's thoughts on GnuPG reveal something, it is that we need to spread more knowledge about how GnuPG works. In the post, the supported API of GnuPG, GPGME is miss-spelled and the current python libaries for interacting with it were not identified. http://wiki.gnupg.org/APIs shows that pyme has moved to a new location with 0.9 published on May 2014 and the alternative pygpgme's 0.3 is from 2012. There is example code which is nice to work with.

Of course the command line interface is not the best stable interface to program GnuPG, it is because it is used as an interface to humans using the command line. GPGME is much better, of course it can be improved further.

Yes, Werner and his company g10code need your support, see http://g10code.com/index.html#sec-1-1 . (Full disclosure: My company Intevation is a business partner of g10code.)
