I think you agree: we should upgrade to 2.1 here and elsewhere (though some external programs such as Pius cannot deal yet with 2.1, so we need to be careful.) Thanks, Ludo’.

Hi Ludovic, What was the rationale for commit ae3bded, which downgraded the gnupg version used by gpgme from gnupg-2.1 to gnupg-2.0? My reading of gpgme's NEWS makes me suspect that gnupg-2.1.x is not only supported, but likely to be a superior choice. NEWS includes: * More precise error codes are returned if GnuPG >= 2.1.8 is used. * Fixed regression for GPGSM use with GnuPG < 2.1. If there's a reason to stick with gnupg-2.0 for gpgme, it might be good to add a comment to explain why. What do you think?
