Release trust without the framework
Two new public modules extracting the OpenPGP signing and verification model, so you can use it without adopting the whole framework.
Telemetry that asks, and telemetry that doesn't
Two telemetries with opposite consent defaults on one OTLP layer: consent-gated analytics for a CLI, implied-consent observability for a service.
