  Alright, #gpg4win version 5 has just been released. Leap to https://www.gpg4win.org . The "What's new" page is a bit crude right now and the release notes need to be adjusted to the used CSS, but except for these website things, its ready.

Kudos to all the testers and bug reporters; you did a great job.
