Good #LibreOffice news:

"Patrick Luby (NeoOffice) fixed issues related to the transparency-to-alpha rework, fixed a Skia issue related to a changed default, fixed horizontal swiping and scrolling when using an RTL UI, made it possible to encrypt files with using public GPG keys with unknown Ownertrust on macOS and fixed macOS crashes"

This is item # 27 in the monthly dev / qa report: https://qa.blog.documentfoundation.org/2024/04/11/qa-dev-report-march-2024/

And it means that for the first time for as long as I can recall, #OpenPGP in @LibreOffice on #macOS is in an actual usable state 😮

Kudos Patrick for your persistence in addressing the nasty issues around this implementation.


#cryptography news: rpgp, the pure Rust #OpenPGP encryption engine used in all #deltachat apps, got quite some love lately, including a revamp of the main entry point for developers: https://github.com/rpgp/rpgp . You may regard rpgp as an extension of the #rustcrypto effort where a lot of the base code lives and is co-maintained by the wonderful diginifiedquire who also just landed a long awaited sha1-collision detector -- as one of the few people officially allowed to write crypto code :)
