Hi Volker,

sorry for the late update, but there was an awesome Jazz festival in Bremen 
which kept me away from computer keyboards for two evenings and a whole day.

### Kleopatra
Usability and accessibility was again a main focus of development in the last 
two months:
* pinentry-qt got many accessibility improvements ([T5863](https://
dev.gnupg.org/T5863)) and a few bug fixes ([T5866](https://dev.gnupg.org/
T5866), [T5867](https://dev.gnupg.org/T5867)).
* The recipient input field used in the file encryption dialog (and also for 
the notepad) also got lots of accessibility improvements, e.g. by making it 
work with keyboard only, by adding accessible error handling, by making sure 
that screen readers get the information they need, etc. ([T5845](https://
dev.gnupg.org/T5845), [T5876](https://dev.gnupg.org/T5876))

Moreover, new features were added:
* You can now revoke your own keys, e.g. if you have created a new one and 
want to make sure that people switch to the new key. ([T5859](https://
dev.gnupg.org/T5859))
* You can revoke individual user IDs, e.g. if you stop using an email address. 
([T4087](https://dev.gnupg.org/T4087))
* Adding new user IDs was simplified with a lot of attention to making in 
particular the error reporting (e.g. if you enter a wrongly formatted email 
address) accessible. ([T5916](https://dev.gnupg.org/T5916))

And a few smaller things were added or fixed:
* Force visual focus of button with input focus when OpenPGP certificate 
generation dialog is shown. ([T5832](https://dev.gnupg.org/T5832))
* Make "Show not certified certificates" button show "good" OpenPGP keys that 
have not yet been certified by the user. ([T5850](https://dev.gnupg.org/
T5850))
* Force usage flags if key type is forced in OpenPGP certificate generation 
dialog. ([T5865](https://dev.gnupg.org/T5865))
* Allow specifying the minimum and maximum validity of newly created OpenPGP 
keys. ([T5864](https://dev.gnupg.org/T5864))
* Show "wrong password" error instead of confusing "bad session key" error, if 
the user enters a wrong password when decrypting symmetrically encrypted data. 
([T5939](https://dev.gnupg.org/T5939))
* Delay displaying a "no key found" error until the lookup running in the 
background is completed without finding a matching key. ([T5945](https://
dev.gnupg.org/T5945))

Regards,
Ingo
