PGP 2.5 / PGP 2.6
I feel that we should stick with PGP 2.5. It makes me wonder when MIT comes out with version 2.5 and then TWO weeks later decides to scrap it and go with a new version. WTFO? Something smells wrong here! I say stick with 2.5 and don't upgrade to 2.6! ------------ To respond to the sender of this message, send mail to remailer@soda.berkeley.edu, starting your message with the following 8 lines: :: Response-Key: ideaclipper ====Encrypted-Sender-Begin==== MI@```&]S^P;+]AB?X9TW6\8WN:^P&2$:G<'CM.^XL(UI)(0XA"*@FT;^`?8\ M05_9?3X9LT68(?"HY91G\H"\(O.7"27L;H0>302V#6U:^E3CT3U%5EL766HC :3@6;`,2S/8'$0\9OR@)X"G8KG]1SV=<K#C(` ====Encrypted-Sender-End====

Has anyone checked 2.5? Does the date restriction code exist there as well? It seems like MIT was planning the 2.6 release from the start. To go to this amount of trouble while leaving a UN-modified, legal version available would be counter-productive (unless they are counting on 2.6 flooding 2.5 off the net).

MIT's press release on 2.6 also mentions bugs in 2.5 that have been pointed out to them. I'm all for liberating 2.5 from MIT but we need to fix the bugs in it that they fixed in (or are fixing in) 2.6.
