Update policy now that it is a paid service
I find it outrageous that you did not change your update policy now that GPG Suite is a paid service. MacOS Catalina has been released 3 weeks ago and there has been a long beta phase beforehand, still you have not managed to have a compatible version ready.
You do have a good product, but your release management sucks!
We have had the same issue with the previous releases of macOS as well, however, GPG Suite was not a paid service back then and that meant "it is done when it is done". Fair enough. But now it is a paid service! And when you first introduced it, you advertised a "faster and more sustainable development". What has become of that?

I'm sorry because I am a long time user, my still existing first mail handled with the suite is 15 years old... but I shall agree with Mirco, been payed means be professional, being professional means being used for working, being used for working doesn't means "wait to decrypt your important email till... who knows?"
Do you have a plan? a Deadline? a beta to try?
Anyway, as Mirco says, it's a really good product - congrats for that - but having a good release plan makes the difference, it's the answer of the question "can we rely on you?"
So, again, good job! congrats! and please let me say yes to that question.
PS: I know I can copypasta to decrypt, but where is the pleasure?

Hi Mirco and Carovita,
I am really sorry to having to disappoint on a test version. Trust me, we hear you and understand your frustration. We are now testing 10.15.1 and are checking if it breaks anything.
The discussions we linked with the 10.15 ticket will be the first to know once we have a first test version ready.

Hi all,
