+@chapter GnuPG version compatibility
+
+As of February 2016, there are three active branches of GnuPG: 2.1,
+2.0, and 1.4.  All those branches should work flawlessly with Emacs,
+with basic use-cases.  They have, however, some incompatible
+characteristics, which might be visible when used from Emacs.
+
+@itemize
+@item
+The key store format used by 2.1 is incompatible with 1.4.  That
+means, a key created with 2.1 might not be visible with 1.4.
+
+@item
+2.1 uses a fixed Unix domain socket for gpg-agent, and ignores the
+@code{GPG_AGENT_INFO} environment variable, used by 2.0 and 1.4.
+
+@item
+2.1 (2.1.5 or later) has a mechanism to direct the Pinentry password
+prompt to the Emacs minibuffer@footnote{To enable this feature, add
+@samp{allow-emacs-pinentry} to @file{~/.gnupg/gpg-agent.conf} and let
+gpg-agent reload the configuration, with: @samp{gpgconf --reload gpg-agent}},
+which would be useful when you use Emacs remotely or from a text-only
+terminal.  That feature is not available in other versions, and more
+specifically, with 2.0 (as of 2.0.29), there is no way to avoid the
+graphical prompt.
