I downloaded v 2.1.3 on May 19 but the site says published on 22nd May 2023?

I am confused. Did the site got hacked?

This is a very security sensitive piece of software.

Can anyone help? At best the Author.

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

All is well and v2.1.3 is legitimate. I originally intended to release this on the 22nd May, however the early access release went very well with no issues, so I ended up releasing it for public download a few days early.

Regs,

Shane.

What the heck are you doing?

Confuse me???

How can I trust you?

You don't even provide a checksum????

Don't misunderstand me, but this is a no- go.

Please don't misunderstand me. I really like your Soft.

But in these times, I prefer to be secure and not fuck around with security issues.

What hinders you to get a checksum? - Of any kind?

Getting power over your keyboard and mouse is something like getting... long story...

Greetings and thanks

Hi,

All Input Director executables, including the installer, are digitally signed (a file's digital signature includes a cryptographic hash, which is like a checksum) that can validate integrity and that they haven't been tampered with.
