What's new in 1.3.2
age v1.3.2 is a minor release with a wide range of fixes and hardening improvements.
Some previously-accepted inputs are now rejected: headers over 2 MiB or 1024 recipients, malformed SSH keys in recipients files, and non-UTF-8 plaintext written to a terminal (force with -o -).
Pre-built binaries now cover windows/arm64 and darwin/amd64, and release archives include the compatibility plugins (age-plugin-pq, age-plugin-tag, and age-plugin-tagpq).
