<p>thanks for the feedback. We are glad to hear from users. But
requesting support for an unreleased OS is ... well we can't
deliver that. We support stable OS releases and if our tools work
in a developer environment that makes us very happy but it is
nothing we can guarantee.</p>
<p>We are currently hard at work to get a stable GPGMail verion for
10.7 out the door and are making great progress. So requesting
support for an OS for which the dev preview <a title=
"Discussion #1" href="/discussions/everything/1">#1</a> has been
out 5 days or so is a bit odd.</p>
<p>We are doing all this in our spare time and are a very small
team. At the same time Apple does not support mail plug-ins but
rather tolerates them. There is no api or documentation which does
not simplify development of such a plug-in. Quite the opposite is
true. With the huge changes in mail in 10.7 a total rewrite from
scratch became necessary.</p>
<p>Hope you understand our position on this.</p></div>Stevetag:gpgtools.tenderapp.com,2011-11-04:Comment/138586932012-02-22T10:50:39Z2012-02-22T10:50:39Zpgp mail in Mountain Lion (web)<div><p>I find this a shame as a professional IT person it is part my
job to update and test my system before the rest of the
organisation does. This means I must always be bleeding edge.
Unfortunately each time I upgrade GPGtools I bleed!.</p>
<p>I have got so used to the ease of gpgtools that I hate going
back to the command line as my productivity goes down.</p>
<p>But my point is.. most likely person to use gpg is an IT
professional most likely person to upgrade to the latest oS is an
IT professional. So to me it makes sense to stay in front of the
stable releases all the time..</p>
<p>So that said I'm not really a programmer but if there is
anything I can do that helps the development cycle to get gpgtools
out the door quicker to keep up with developing operating systems
please let me know</p>
<p>regards<br>

OS update where Mail.app is updated requires major updates to all
the available plugins, based on how much has changed.<br>
For Lion it was basically everything, for Mountain Lion it should
be rather small but unfortunately still significant.</p>
<p>As Steve already said, we don't have too much time on our hands
and are still a very small active team, 4-5 people, taking care of
all GPGTools programs.<br>
Since we have to make a living too, we can only work on this in our
spare time.</p>
<p>It makes me sad to say it, but the greatest help at the moment
is financial support, since that way we can devote more of our time
to this project.</p></div>Luke Letag:gpgtools.tenderapp.com,2011-11-04:Comment/138586932012-02-22T12:45:30Z2012-02-22T12:45:30Zpgp mail in Mountain Lion (web)<div><p>I can totally understand that projects done in spare time can't
be maintained with ease. But in this particular case, a good place
to start would be to at least outline the cause of the
incompatibility (you guys would developed it so you would have the
easiest time pinpointing it) without necessarily solving it right
now. That way, you'd give the community something to think about
and maybe someone could contribute with a patch.</p></div>Jaymzutag:gpgtools.tenderapp.com,2011-11-04:Comment/138586932012-02-22T12:48:53Z2012-02-22T12:48:53Zpgp mail in Mountain Lion (web)<div><p>Late edit @ Luke - Have you guys considered publishing either
the whole gpgtools suite or the plug-ins and tools individually on
Appstore for a small fee (like Growl did) ?</p></div>Jaymzutag:gpgtools.tenderapp.com,2011-11-04:Comment/138586932012-02-22T15:06:21Z2012-02-24T10:29:18Zpgp mail in Mountain Lion (web)<div><p>Hi Jaymzu, what exactly do you mean by outline the
incompatibility?</p>
<p>We've already considered releasing GPGTools in the App Store,
but the only possible app is the GPG Keychain Access and even that
one, is probably not gonna be making it because of the App Store
rules and from June 1st on, sandboxing.</p></div>Luke Letag:gpgtools.tenderapp.com,2011-11-04:Comment/138586932012-02-24T10:28:27Z2012-02-24T10:28:27Zpgp mail in Mountain Lion (web)<div><p>Hey Jaymzu: here's the ticket system for GPGMail: <a href=
