age with ssh dont work

[brunskutscher]

following the docs i tried to use (public) ssh key (ed25519 and rsa) as recipients for encrytption with age (e.g.):

sops -e --age 'ssh-ed25519 AAAA ...' test.env

this failed always with:

failed to parse input as Bech32-encoded age public key: malformed recipient "ssh-ed25519 AAAA ...": mixed case

as stated this is the same for ssh-rsa.
i tried the same using .sops.yaml and SOPS_AGE_RECIPIENTS, same result.

after looking into the code base (age/keysource.go) my impression is that the error thrown is using a "wrong code path" and recipients with ssh- are simply not recogniced.

tried with (sops --version) sops 3.9.4 (latest)

3.10.0 has not yet been released, so to get the feature that only exists on the main branch you need to compile it yourself.

The README in the repository is for the main branch, not for the latest relased version.
