We expect a 1.2.4 release candidate fairly soon.  It has some minor
bug and build fixes, as well as:

    * Support for Elgamal sign+encrypt keys has been removed.  Old
      signatures may still be verified, and existing encrypted
      messages may still be decrypted, but no new signatures may be
      issued by, and no new messages will be encrypted to, these keys.
      The only new message that can be generated by an Elgamal
      sign+encrypt key is a key revocation.

The current plan is for GnuPG 1.4 to have no Elgamal sign+encrypt
support at all.
