Holy crap, Garth is alive too?? How are you, man? On 09/12/2014 01:19 PM, Garth Dahlstrom wrote:

Ehm, not exactly. "Digital DJ Pro" is still listed on their site with 1.78M downloads. I don't know if it's comforting or horrifying that it appears to be based on Mixxx 1.5.0.
Anyway, I would like to formally hijack this thread to talk about code signing (on Windows at least.) I think we should definitely do it in any case because it protects against tampering with the executable (and even if someone builds it from source, they still can't sign it with our cert.) Plus it looks more professional than "We can't verify the source of this application."
StartSSL.com offers 2-year code signing certs for $50 (personal identity validation.)
