Supported Versions

The EasyPGP project is an open-source project that aims to provide a convenient way to generate PGP key pairs, encrypt messages, and decrypt messages. As an open-source project, the support and maintenance of the project are driven by the community. Therefore, only the latest version of the project will receive regular updates and security patches.
