What's New in PGPony
8.0.1
August 1, 2026
This update fixes an issue where a hardware security key was not offered for signing on the Encrypt tab, even though it could still decrypt normally. If your YubiKey or other OpenPGP card holds your primary key in the signature slot alongside a separate signing subkey, PGPony now recognizes it correctly, so Sign Message and encrypt-and-sign work as expected. Thanks to the testers who reported it.
