![]() In order to make sure that everyone of our existing users was informed, we included the information about the upcoming change in regards to GPG Mail 3 in the release notes of a few more releases of GPG Suite and the announcements on our website. We also mentioned that GPG Suite as well as GPG Mail would continue to be released under an Open Source license. Our GPG Suite version released at the same time included the first beta of GPG Mail 3 compatible with macOS High Sierra. Our annocunement stated that with the release of GPG Mail 3, our mail plugin would no longer be free as in "free beer". One year ago we announced our plans to start charging a fee for GPG Mail ![]() We released a new website as well, with only the most important information, since we were exhausted and were already prepared to add the missing pages after the weekend. It was of utmost importance to get the release out at least a few days before macOS Mojave's release, so our users would be notified and could install it in time. So at that point we were very very excited about sharing the good news. In almost 10 years working on GPG Suite we had never managed to accomplish that before. What has really happened?Īt 5am on Saturday morning, 09/22, Vienna time, we were finally ready to launch the release of GPG Suite 2018.4, which for the first time, would contain a stable release of GPG Mail for macOS Mojave prior to Apple's release. If you are interested in what has and has not happened, we would love if you kept reading. GPG Suite is still being released under an Open Source license, the full release code can be found on our website and on GitHub. Most of your questions should be answered in the FAQ now, and the page for the GPG Mail Support Plan. Our most important goal with the release of GPG Suite 2018.4 was to have GPG Mail ready before macOS Mojave was released to guarantee uninterrupted access to encrypted emails for our users who rely on GPG Mail on a daily basis. We have since taken the necessary steps to update our site with all the missing information and made sure that the release notes are abundandly clear now. Instead of focusing what might be of most interest to our existing users, we focused on what was most important for us – being able to provide a release with support for macOS Mojave from day one. That the stable version would require a support plan for continued use, as we had hinted at about 9 month and that the version of GPG Mail 3 which was going to be installed would be a 30 day trial. In the release notes we should have focused on re-emphasizing that GPG Mail 3 has now exited the beta phase. It was never our intention to deceive or trick anyone of you. We sincerely apologize for all the confusion surrounding this release.
