The files were GPG signed by me. Here is the fingerprint for my key (or find it under "Windows" on https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs): ECE7 7CF4 17C7 6C1A CFCE 7C2B 5B61 3551 1580 F007 Emacs 30 contains several fixes/changes for users of the executable self-installer Windows: - The uninstaller will now remove (at most) one version of Emacs (rather than all versions added via the executable self-installer) - Options for selecting custom install location are honored - Uninstalling removes empty parent folders created under the selected installation and Start Menu short-cut paths - Users are no longer asked to "Accept" the GNU Public License in order to install Emacs For Windows users, please note that the self-installer has been in significant part rewritten in this version. For those publishing self-builds on/for Windows please note that admin/nt/dist-build/build-deps-zips.py should be working now but I've only tested it for x64 builds in Windows 10 under MSYS2/MSYS (not MinGW64, etc) shell. Your help testing is greatly appreciated. The following people made critical contributions to the Windows installer fixes included in this release, improvements made to the build dependency related scripting and/or helped out with testing, research, finding problems, explaining stuff to and otherwise unconfusing Corwin, and so on: Дилян Палаузов, Elijah Gabe Pérez, Sebboh, Michael Hoffman, Ricky Tigg, Joel Reichter, Trent Buck, johnjay, Brian Palmer, Grym as well as the Emacs maintainers and innumerable others I've neglected to mention. Without that assistance this would probably have been impossible and certainly would have been less enjoyable. Thanks for Emacs: it's wonderful Corwin
