7     WARNING: This branch is the testing branch of WinPT. The next stable
8 twoaday 2 branch will be 1.0. Do not use it in production environments.
9 wk 1
10     This branch mainly introduces smart card support for the OpenPGP card.
11     For more information please visit www.g10-code.com/p-card.html. Alternativ
12     you may ask on the [email protected] list for general information
13     about the card and the GPG 1.3 support to use it. The stable branch of
14     GPG (1.2) does not have any support for it. Please remember that the
15     1.3 branch is also unstable and thus use it with some caution.
16    
17     On the other side, we encourage people to test this branch (WinPT+GPG)
18     to track down bugs and to help that it will become stable (1.4) soon.
19    
20    
21     _In any case please use GPG 1.2.3 or later for WinPT 0.9_.

53 twoaday 2 Known Problems
54     ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
55    
56     Sadly but true, WinPT has some limitations with XP. The core functions should
57     work without any problems but some features won't work or only limited. For
58     example that the clipboard viewer does not contain the plaintext after
59     decryption. We work on it and hope to provide fixes ASAP.
