This would be best asked on

The answer is: no - the situation is similiar to earlier reports.
GnuPG and Gpg4win development needs serious funding to be able to larger 
necessary steps like an overhaul of the user interface or an PGP/MIME GpgOL.

There are some ideas to try to get some funding for GnuPG, which Werner can 
best report on. He improved his system for volunteer payment (some call it 
donations) for instance. 

In Germany there were some political statements aming to support funding GnuPG 
or Gpg4win, but no tangible plans that g10code or Intevation have been 
approached with. 

Right now our best and most reliable source of funding is single "donations".
Though they can only support Gpg4win/GnuPG development on a very low level,
we are very grateful for each single one. Thanks!

Best,
Bernhard
