lukele··on Deutsche Telekom, Web.de and GMX launch "E-mail made in Germany" initiative
One very interesting tidbit - regardless that this is simply some PR stunt at exactly the right time - according to a renowned german news magazine Die Zeit, two of the founders of Narus, which helped develop the PRISM technology, are now working for the Deutsche Telekom. Go figure!

lukele··on GPGMail 2 is finally here
SHA Hash and signature will be added tomorrow. In all the excitement we forgot about that. Please file the bug report for GPGPreferences on https://support.gpgtools.org Thanks!

It's "self-contained" in /usr/local/MacGPG2. Only creates symlinks into /usr/local/bin but will avoid that if it recognizes another gpg already being linked there. Also, linking warnings when using homebrew's GPG are resolved.

10.9 is being actively tested internally and we've already released two hacked together preview versions for it. Doing everything we can to be on time this time for real.

You got a point. Added that!

Not connected to Apple, just a very old icon which was never really updated. Might happen in the future though, to avoid legal issues

All versions before this were beta. This is the stable version of GPGMail 2 with 77 bugs fixed from the last beta, so you should update.

GPGMail uses a very well known and white spread technology OpenPGP as its base. Everyone you want to use it with has to have a mail client which supports OpenPGP in one form or another, but there are many plugins out there, who add support for your favorite mail clients on windows and linux.

Enigmail for Thunderbird: http://www.enigmail.net/home/index.php

GPG4Win provide plugins for Outlook: http://gpg4win.org

Evolution on Linux has OpenPGP support built in.

FYI: Another term used for OpenPGP is gnupg or GPG, should you want to google for other solutions on other operating systems.

lukele··on GPGTools – OpenPGP Tools for Apple OS X
This should be no longer the case from version MacGPG2 2.0.19 upwards.

It's true we should have mentioned it in the release notes, I think we forgot. Mentioned it only on Twitter. Will definitely do better in the future!

We've found a kind of "hole" in Apple's sandboxing (they know about it but I guess it's necessary for legacy software) and hope they don't close it too soon

Actually, there's a temporary workaround which you can use and works till you update to a new version (works with any app or package not signed with an Apple ID) Simply right-click open and you'll not see the error message. No need to disable gatekeeper in System Preferences
