NeoPG |
NeoPG comes in a single source package and installs as a single binary. No system services or global configuration are required. Distributions and embedded systems can easily include NeoPG.
NeoPG uses subcommands ("neopg encrypt ...") to provide contextual help, highlights important information in the output with colors, and reduces the complexity of common operations by providing sensible defaults. Arcane and obsolete features of OpenPGP are not supported.
NeoPG ships with a library and a command line interface to that library. Internal APIs are fully exposed and allow a high degree of customization. NeoPG is not a blackbox, and does not require indirect manipulation of the environment or configuration to achieve a specific goal.
NeoPG is a team effort. Feedback is important to guide future development, and bug reports are an early indicator of hidden architectural problems. NeoPG is moving to a liberal, inclusive license (2-clause BSD). And by making the code clean and simple, it is easier to port to different platforms.
NeoPG is developed under the control of continuous integration tests, code coverage reports, static analysis tools and fuzzers. Automatic code formatting and continuous code quality checks help to make source code readable and consistent.
