Hello,

the development of Gpg4win-3.0 is still ongoing but we have  published good 
testing versions under:

	https://wiki.gnupg.org/Gpg4win/Testversions

Especially for GpgOL users 3.0 should be worth to try out.

In the meantime we want to announce the availability of the new, stable 
Gpg4win-2.3.4. This is a security/maintenance release which does not bring
new features but updates some base libraries and fixes a security vulnerability 
(CVE-2017-7526).

The download is available via the usual download page:

        http://www.gpg4win.org/download.html

You use Gpg4win? Then please help us with your donation that we can make 
maintenance and security updates in future as well! Thank you!
