What's New in PGPony
7.1.0
July 4, 2026
PGP/MIME messages. You can now send and receive encrypted messages that carry a body and multiple attachments together, the same format Thunderbird and most desktop mail clients use. In the Encrypt tab, the new Bundle mode lets you write a message, add photos and files, pick recipients, and encrypt everything into a single RFC 3156 .eml, a standalone .asc, or a plain inline block. On the decrypt side, a PGP/MIME message opens to a structured view showing the body and each attachment with a preview and save option. Encrypted .eml files from desktop clients open and decrypt directly. Multi-file share-in. Share two or more files into PGPony from any app and they'll be packaged and encrypted together as one Bundle automatically. Password-protected files. Encrypt any file with a shared password instead of a key, producing a standard .gpg file compatible with GPG on desktop. Decrypt works the same way in reverse, no key needed, and is interoperable with files created by gpg -c. The password prompt appears regardless of which key you have selected. Localization. Applied translation improvements across Brazilian Portuguese, Spanish, French, German, and Japanese, including a community-reviewed pass on the Portuguese strings. Hardware key improvements. Fixed a signing mismatch for offline-primary key layouts where the signing check was comparing against the primary fingerprint instead of the on-card signing subkey. PIN cache duration changes now apply immediately to a PIN already in memory. PIN keyboard. Letters are now the default keyboard for PIN entry, since OpenPGP card PINs can be alphanumeric. Privacy. The Encrypt screen now clears your message, files, and attachments automatically after you close the result, so nothing lingers between sessions. Bug fixes. Decrypting a Bundle and interacting with its attachments no longer freezes the app. Large encrypted files open without freezing. The Email Encrypted Message flow now correctly defaults to the right sending account.
