 # Changelog
 
+## 4.1.2
+- Do not throw `NoSignature` (exit code 3) if no valid signatures were found during `decrypt`, even though
+  signature verification was requested.
+
 ## 4.1.1
 - Restructure test suite to allow simultaneous testing of multiple backends
 - Fix IOException in `sop sign` due to premature stream closing
