GnuPG 2.1.8 is a bugfix release that fixes a regression that occurred when using EdDSA keys with SSH (Secure Shell), re-implements the ability to send very large keys to key servers, and adds support for exporting secret keys via Assuan. Furthermore, it is now possible to translate validity strings in key listings, as well as to transmit FAILURE status lines in order to help the GnuPG Made Easy (GPGME) library.
