Hi there,

Any plans on code signing the binary releases?

indygreg commented 2 years ago

My initial thinking was it wouldn't make sense to sign because the distributions would be redistributed as part of a larger application and would be signed as part of that larger application.

But I understand it can be useful to have pre-signed binaries available. I'll consider doing this as part of the release process. Although I don't have an EV signing certificate for Windows yet (but it is something I may acquire shortly).

That's great news! Thanks for the info. I shall pass it to my boss, who is the one with concerns.
