+Subject: [PATCH] reflect 2.1 reporting for key imports
+
+GnuPG 2.1 changes how it reports key imports.  These changes should
+make the pygpgme test suite compatible with GnuPG 2.1.

+Subject: [PATCH] passphrase_cb is deprecated
+
+https://bugs.gnupg.org/gnupg/issue767 indicates that
+gpgme_set_passphrase_cb is a deprecated corner of the API and that
+developers using gpgme should really rely on the gpg-agent to handle
+this stuff.  This should actually simplify things for most
+installations -- just strip out all passphrase handling from your
+application entirely, relying on gpg to figure out how to find the
+agent, and relying on the agent figuring out how to prompt the user
+(if necessary).
+
+However, if a developer really wants to use the passphrase callback
+approach, they'll have to use loopback pinentry.  This sets up the
+test suite to be able to make those tests.

+Subject: [PATCH] handle generic error when no passphrase callback present
+
+apparently gpg 2.1 returns ERR_GENERAL right now if the pinentry was
+in loopback mode and no passphrase callback was supplied.  Earlier
+versions supplied ERR_BAD_PASSPHRASE.
