Shkarko GpgFrontend 2.1.2

Next Steps
The journey to version 2.1.2 took an unexpected half year, primarily due to extensive modifications in the core architecture and some challenging setbacks. This process, while arduous, was a period of significant learning and development. The application, once scattered, has now been meticulously reassembled. As a result of these efforts, it now functions smoothly and effectively.In light of this experience, the focus for the next 4–5 versions will be on stability and minor enhancements. My commitment is to release a new, refined version every 2-3 months, ensuring consistent improvements without overwhelming changes.Flatpak
With great pleasure, I announce that our application is now accessible on Flathub.What's New
