When signing future releases, please avoid relying on the SHA1 digest algorithm since it is cryptographically weak and incompatible with the current OpenPGP standard.

$ sq inspect wcd-6.0.7.tar.gz.asc --keyring wcd.gpg 
wcd-6.0.7.tar.gz.asc: Detached signature.

because: No binding signature at time 2026-09-12T08:39:21Z
because: Policy rejected non-revocation signature (PositiveCertification) requiring second pre-image resistance
because: SHA1 is not considered secure
