Signed Windows executables

[Neil Hodgson]

Windows executable downloads will, from now, be signed with a certificate from Certum.

A signature will be present for Scintilla.dll, Lexilla.dll, SciTE.exe, and Sc1.exe for both 64-bit and 32-bit versions as well as versioned name variants like Sc32_558.exe.

The signature will contain "Open Source Developer, Neil Hodgson".

The signature can be checked by opening the file properties of each executable where there will now be a "Digital Signatures" tab. Select that tab and the Signature list will show the signature although it will be cramped into a narrow column so resize or click Details.

Thanks to Tabular Editor for sponsoring this work and Certum for providing low cost certificates for open source developers.

A new version of SciTE will be released soon.
