It is not a change in Emacs, it is most probably the fact that you've
upgraded your GnuPG in the meantime. etc/PROBLEMS has this to say
about the problem:
*** Saving, via EasyPG, a file encrypted with GnuPG hangs
This is known to happen with GnuPG v2.4.1. The only known workaround
is to downgrade to a version of GnuPG older than 2.4.1 (or, in the
future, upgrade to a newer version which solves the problem, when such
a fixed version becomes available).
