GnuPG 2.x is a newer version of GnuPG with additional support for
S/MIME. It has a different design philosophy that splits
functionality up into several modules. Both versions may be
installed simultaneously without any conflict (gpg is called gpg2
in GnuPG 2). In fact, the gpg version from GnuPG 1.4 is able to
make use of the gpg-agent as included in GnuPG 2 and allows for
seamless passphrase caching. The advantage of GnupG 1.4 is its
smaller size and no dependency on other modules at run and build
time.

The advantage of GnuPG 1.4 is its somewhat smaller size and no
dependency on other modules at run and build time. The drawback
of 1.4 is its much older code base and that only minimal
maintainance is done. It is highly suggested to switch to 2.x
unless your system is not supported by 2.x
