Hi all,

I'm pleased to announce the release of version 0.31.0 of sequoia-ipc.

I have published sequoia-ipc on crates.io:

https://crates.io/crates/sequoia-ipc

You can also fetch version 0.31.0 using the ipc/v0.31.0 tag:

https://gitlab.com/sequoia-pgp/sequoia/-/tags/ipc/v0.31.0

which I signed:

$ git verify-tag ipc/v0.31.0 gpg: Signature made Fri Oct 27 16:39:49 2023 +02:00 gpg: using RSA key C03FA6411B03AE12576461187223B56678E02528 gpg: Good signature from "Neal H. Walfield neal@walfield.org" [ultimate] gpg: "Neal H. Walfield neal@gnupg.org" gpg: "Neal H. Walfield neal@pep-project.org" gpg: "Neal H. Walfield neal@pep.foundation" gpg: "Neal H. Walfield neal@sequoia-pgp.org"

This is a bug fix release.

The most noticeable fix is that using gpg-agent is now more robust. One problem was that when using a key managed by gpg-agent, e.g., from the chameleon, our gpg reimplementation, or from the octopus, our OpenPGP implemenation for Thunderbird, the first interaction would sometimes fail.

This has been improved in these commit:

https://gitlab.com/sequoia-pgp/sequoia/-/commit/648858b7b8ce1db35a6f5f4a993a... https://gitlab.com/sequoia-pgp/sequoia/-/commit/c5670ce4958a33c4a7c3b861bdb1...

We also added support for GnuPG's loopback pinentry mode.
