2.0.20 beta available

[David Tomaschik]

Hi Werner,

A question about the release notes:

* Decryption using smartcards keys > 3072 bit does not work.

Is this a regression (since it's listed as a change) or should it read
"does now work"?  I don't have any 4k keys on smartcards to try with, but
I'm interested to know the status.

Thanks,
David
