MAJOR disappointment - PGP and GPG won't work

I've been using GPG (Open source version of PGP) to sign important e-mails for some time now. After upgrading to Snow Leopard, GPG quit working, so I did some research. It seems Apple has made so many changes in Mail that neither PGP nor GPG can be used to sign or encrypt e-mail any longer, and the GPG group indicated that Apple won't disclose enough details about the changes for them to update their software. PGP (a commercial company) has said, "Wait for the next version" but provided no time line when this will be available.
This is a major disappointment for me and for other security/privacy conscious Mac users. What is wrong with Apple all of a sudden?

My understanding is that if Apple documented its mail plugin API's then developers of GPGMail and the like could update their plugins. As it stands they must use trial and error to create updates, and the plugins break with each mail update.
FYI, the GPGMail author is saying he won't be updating this plugin, for lack of time (40 hrs estimated) and he's looking for help.
This is a real disappointment indeed. I really need this functionality, and I don't want to go back to Thunderbird/Enigmail to get it.
You can either switch to using S/MIME which is built-in or wait for the soon to be available upgrade for MacPGP (i.e. not the free one).
