Merge Risk: Medium

This upgrade from version 1.83 to 1.85 is a minor version update but spans two significant feature and security releases. While no major API removals are documented, the nature of the changes introduces a medium risk of behavioral changes.

Key Changes:

  • Version 1.84: Introduced an updated OpenPGP implementation to align with new draft RFCs and added a new FIPS-compliant keystore. [2]
  • Version 1.85: This is a large security-focused release that includes fixes for over 30 CVEs. [5] The release notes describe it as a "significant hardening of the APIs," particularly around cryptographic parsers and validation. [1, 4]

Potential Impact:
The API "hardening" and numerous security fixes, especially those related to stricter validation in keystore and message parsing, could alter behavior that applications may have inadvertently relied upon. [1] These are technically bug fixes, but they can break systems that depend on the previous, more lenient behavior.

Recommendation:
Developers should verify application functionality after the upgrade, paying close attention to areas that use OpenPGP or involve parsing externally supplied cryptographic data or keystores.
