   #GnuPG 2.1.0 is out: secring.gpg is no longer used, but the announcement doesn't say how secret keys are now maintained. !security

      #GnuPG 2.1.0 feature-overview doc says, most parts of the system no longer know about secring storage at all: https://www.gnupg.org/faq/whats-new-in-2.1.html#nosecring

      I'm a little conservative WRT major revs of !security software: trying to decide now, is it finally time to upgrade from #GnuPG 1.4 to 2.0?

         GnuPG v1.4 and v2.1 are both supported and under active development; v1.4 is completely functional and is reasonably lightweight; v2.x has more comprehensive commands and additional support for things like S/MIME and ssh — if you're using v1.4 and it's doing everything you need then there's no reason to switch to 2.x
