        @David-Riffet ,

        The lack of certicate and the reasons why was made clear in the announcement post and on the official downloads page and pages they link to, especially this page

          Apparently nobody reads anything, so it might be time to take a vacation from the Notepad++ forums until the certificate debacle is over. I for one question the decision to release a new version in this manner (because of all the noise it has already generated…and I’m sure will continue).

            Double-thumbs-up. ;-)

            And after I read this on the v8.8.2 final release announcement:

            “Due to the installer security issue, auto-updater will be triggered to this release in 1 day.”

            I say - brace yourself, now with the N++ auto-update on, it’s going to be a real false-positive ride (only in the N++ github issues are already 6+ new issues about AVs reporting something).

            And it obviously bothers package managers too:

              I pinned this and added KNOWN ISSUE to the title, to hopefully make it plainer to people that they don’t need to report it here.
