Time flies!

### Kleopatra

* For OpenPGP smart cards supporting ECC Kleopatra now allows generating keys 
for the curves supported by the cards. Moreover, the keys stored on an OpenPGP 
smart card can now be (re-)generated separately. ([T4429](https://
dev.gnupg.org/T4429))<br>

* The notepad now has a dedicated Import button. Previously, the Sign/Encrypt 
button changed to Import when certificate data was detected in the notepad. 
This behavior made encrypting certificate data impossible and wasn't good for 
usability and accessibility. ([T6188](https://dev.gnupg.org/T6188))
* Secret key backup of S/MIME certificates was fixed. ([T6189](https://
dev.gnupg.org/T6189))
* The Certificate Dump window now opens in the foreground when clicking "More 
Details" in the Certificate Details window for an S/MIME certificate opened from 
the Group Edit dialog. ([T6180](https://dev.gnupg.org/T6180))
* Canceling an encrypt operation triggered from the notepad doesn't show an 
error message anymore. ([T6196](https://dev.gnupg.org/T6196))
* If one enters a bad passphrase when importing an S/MIME certificate in 
PKCS#12 format, then a proper error message is shown. ([T5713](https://
dev.gnupg.org/T5713))
* Fixed potential invalidation of keys referenced by commands which could 
cause those commands to fail unexpectedly. ([T6157](https://dev.gnupg.org/
T6157))
* Unusable actions are now disabled when the details of a remote key (i.e. the 
result of a lookup) are displayed. ([T6201](https://dev.gnupg.org/T6201))
* The Certify dialog no longer offers expired user IDs for certification.
([T6155](https://dev.gnupg.org/T6155))
* The keyboard focus indicator for labels is only drawn if the label received 
focus by a keyboard command. ([T6111](https://dev.gnupg.org/T6111))
* Errors during Web Key Directory (WKD) lookups (which happen in the 
background when doing a key lookup) are now ignored. ([T6202](https://
dev.gnupg.org/T6202))
* Nicolas Fella fixed raising the main window on Wayland. (https://
invent.kde.org/pim/kleopatra/-/merge_requests/28)

On a related note:

* The Qt binding of GpgME (used by Kleopatra, KMail, and other KDE 
applications) can now be built for Qt 6.

Ingo
