O.P. Added Security: Digital Signature
Hello everyone,

I'm currently working on version 3.21 (which will mostly include improvements for the Flaoting Contacts feature) and I thought you may want to know that I've been investing in a Digital Signature. This kind of thing is very expensive and necessitates lots of papers, however, I'm sure that you will enjoy appreciate the added security it will offer. Microsoft and many other companies are adding more and more security-oriented features in their software and I think it is now time for Messenger Plus! to use them.

If everything goes alright with the verificatioon process, I'll be able to sign all my binaries (like the setup) with a certificate bearing the name "Patchou". That way, you'll never have towonder if the version of Plus! you're trying to install is valid, supposed to be distributed publicly (I won't sign beta versions) and has not been tempered with.

That's all I wanted to say :)
Patchou
