Hello,
I have been running 26.1-rc1 since the 16th and things have been smooth.
I did have to change the value of `epa-pinentry-mode' to 'loopback to get prompted for a passphrase when opening an encrypted file. But, when sending messages in Gnus with `mml-secure-message-sign', instead of being prompted for the passphrase, a 'Wrong type argument: char-or-string-p, nil' error is reported, which I believe occurs in or around `mml-compute-boundary'.

Please (setq debug-on-error t) to get a backtrace and report this bug
with `M-x report-emacs-bug'.

I've proposed a patch there which renames `epa-pinentry-mode' into
`epg-pinentry-mode', any comments would be appreciated; we're
stumbling towards a solution but the bug thread is somewhat lacking
input from people with a strong grasp of how epg and epa code fits
together...
