Hi,

here are the noteworthy changes in Kleopatra.

## Kleopatra
* Joey Berkovitz made sure that keys stored on smart cards are fully usable 
with Kleopatra as soon as Kleopatra has first encountered the smart card. 
([T5782](https://dev.gnupg.org/T5782, [MR](https://invent.kde.org/pim/
kleopatra/-/merge_requests/11))
* Secret subkeys can now be exported without the secret primary key. This is 
useful if you want to share the encryption subkey of a shared email address. 
This is possible from the Details dialog of OpenPGP keys.
* Settings that are marked as read-only (via KDE's Kiosk support or via global 
GnuPG options) cannot be changed anymore in the configuration dialog. ([T5791]
(https://dev.gnupg.org/T5791))
* One can now easily retrieve all OpenPGP keys that another OpenPGP key was 
certified with. Additionally, it's now possible to configure Kleopatra to 
retrieve all certification keys of newly imported keys automatically. ([T5805]
(https://dev.gnupg.org/T5805))
* One can now trigger a restart of the background processes (gpg-agent, 
dirmngr, scdaemon, etc.), e.g. after one has changed their configuration. 
([T5775](https://dev.gnupg.org/T5775))
* Usability and accessibility of Kleopatra's main view, i.e. the certificate 
list, ([T5841](https://dev.gnupg.org/T5841)) and of the OpenPGP key generation 
([T5832](https://dev.gnupg.org/T5832)) was improved. This is part of the major 
goal to make Kleopatra fully accessible. ([T5824](https://dev.gnupg.org/
T5824))

Regards,
Ingo
