## Which version of OpenPGP does this address?
This documentation encompasses the core aspects of modern OpenPGP, demonstrating that, at a foundational level, there is a significant overlap in functionality across various versions. Our focus on version 6 does not imply a preference or superiority over other versions; rather, it serves as a current reference point. We acknowledge that earlier versions, particularly version 4, continue to be relevant and widely used in ongoing projects.
This documentation encompasses the core aspects of modern OpenPGP practices, applicable across different versions. This respects that, at a foundational level, there is significant overlap, continuity, and consistency from its earliest version to its latest.
Where differences between versions exist, specific attention is given to those aspects pertinent to application developers, ensuring that the content is version-agnostic and broadly applicable.
While using version 6 as a reference for current standards, we include insights derived from earlier versions, particularly version 4, which continues to be widely used in ongoing projects.
Where differences between versions exist, specific attention is given to those aspects pertinent to application developers, ensuring that the content is as version-agnostic as possible and, thus, broadly applicable for developers working with various iterations of OpenPGP.
