How did you go with your testing?
From my point of view this has been terrible.
As it looks like they have just skipped a major release and made a mess of it.
We are an FSI that sends daily encrypted data to a third party.
To get it kind of working had to change the gpg-agent.conf file and use the
--pinentry-mode loopback argument when signing and decypting.
To make things worse, our recipient no longer could not decrypt the files?
I am using yum, so it was easy to downgrade back to 2.0.30 and its dependencies.
More testing needs to be done and more documentation around the changes.

Hi guys,
The version of GPG in the toolbox is 2.0.30, which was deprecated by the GNU GPG team back in 2017...!!
Is there any likelihood of a modern version being compiled for AIX?
