Congratulations on the beta release, it is good to see this
development continuing steadily and I can confirm that it is working
rather nicely.

A trivial issue with this beta release is the naming; which at least
for me gives gpg (GnuPG) 2.1.0-betabeta442 currently :)

Anyways; If anyone using gentoo wants to try out 2.1, there is a live
ebuild app-crypt/gnupg-9999 in my overlay accessible through
layman[mercurial] titled k_f.
