It is committed to making OpenPGP +easier to use, so that more people can use the tool to protect their privacy. + +## Relationship with OpenPGP(pgp) and Gnupg(gpg)？ + +OpenPGP is a data encryption and decryption standard, and GpgFrontend supports it. GnuPG is a cryptographic software +used to encrypt, sign communication content and manage keys for asymmetric cryptography. It follows the OpenPGP +standard. GpgFrontend drives gnupg at runtime to implement operations such as encryption and decryption. + +## How to obtain and use GpgFrontend？ + +The various versions of GpgFrontend will be released in the GitHub repository, and you can find and download the latest +version in Releases. After downloading, you can refer to the instructions in ReadME and you can start using it in just a +few steps. + +## I found some flaws in GpgFrontend, what should I do? + +If you find a defect in GpgFrontend, you are welcome to create an issue in the GitHub repository to describe the +problem. When I see your issue, I will respond as soon as possible. If you do not have a GitHub account, please email my +personal mailbox. For contact information, please see [Contract](contract.md). + +## Can I modify the code of GpgFrontend? + +If you have any good ideas, you are free to modify the code of GpgFrontend. You are welcome to submit a Pull Request to +add your good ideas to the next version. + +You can contribute completely anonymously, and you can email me patches. + +## Why should I install GnuPG additionally? + +The source code of GpgFrontend does not contain operations such as encryption and decryption, which requires Gnupg to +provide support. In addition, for users with higher security requirements, they can let GpgFrontend drive their trusted +copy of Gnupg. This design improves the security of GpgFrontend. + +## What is the release version with BETA? + +The release version with the word "beta" means that some modules of this version have not yet been thoroughly tested. In +addition, some support for the beta version may not be complete. But rest assured, I will test after the beta version is +released, and release a stable version at an appropriate time. + +But starting from 2.0.0, BETA versions will not be released unless there are special circumstances. + |
