+ Warning
+ -------
+
+ This version is from a legacy branch of GnuPG. We provide this
+ version only for two purposes:
+
+ - To decrypt and verify old messages created using PGP-2 keys.
+ Due to security problems with PGP-2 keys, these keys are not
+ anymore supported by the current stable GnuPG versions.
+
+ - For ancient pre-POSIX platforms which are not capable of
+ building the modern GnuPG-2.
+
+ Although there are no plans to stop basic maintenance of the 1.4
+ branch, it will not see any updates except for severe security
+ problems. Side-channel attacks and the like won't be fixed in
+ this branch. It is strongly suggested to migrate to the current
+ stable GnuPG version and - if at all needed - use the 1.4 version
+ only for the above listed purposes.
