When looking at the changes towards the new 2.5.19 version of #GnuPG, there are many small things; like a way to use OCB for symmetric-only encryption, a few defect fixes and improvements.
Not that exciting, but maintenance of the well known #LibrePGP, OpenPGPv4 and CMS capable crypto engine.... you may want to know anyhow. ;)

@GnuPG The mentioning of OCB for symmetric encryption is misleading: We have this support for many years, the new option "use-ocb-sym" merely allows to switch to OCB for password-only encryption w/o forcing its use for public keys not claiming to support OCB; this is what the old option --force-ob would do.
