This security alert will appear. Click the More Info link, and then Execute anyway.
This dialog is ugly. To fix this, i need a validated security certificate. Certum offers a low priced 1 year certificate for open source projects for € 17.22 per annum. If someone funds at least three years of certification (€ 51.66), i will use that money to buy a new certificate each year. Then I will also implement a secure autoupdater. Get in contact with me. For transparency: Currently total raised money: € 0.
