Notepad++ v8.8.3 Release Candidate

@PGomersall said in Notepad++ v8.8.3 Release Candidate:
nppRoot.crt is not found at that location
I think you missed two of Don’s words from his sentence: “the root certificate will be available” – “will be” implies future tense, so not yet.
–
update: an hour later, that file does exist at https://github.com/notepad-plus-plus/notepad-plus-plus/blob/master/nppRoot.crt … so no more waiting -

But if you do, please provide me the URL of nppRoot.crt - I will include it into my release note & Ressources page.
Sorry if I wasn’t fast enough for the Release Notes…

Considering @donho said above, “BTW, I should make https work, I know - it’s on my TODO list.”, I can confidentally conclude that the goal is to get it renewed. ;-)

@donho VirusTotal is flagging v8.8.3 with the following:
Is this a concern or a false positive?
Thanks.
-
@Ben-H
False positive.
Because if I put malware into Notepad++, I would not tell you. -
@donho
Thanks. Is there a way to check with BKav Pro security vendor to see why it is a false positive? We just needed some explanation or confirmation that we are in the clear in order to satisfy the audit requirement by our company. Appreciate the Notepad++ team as always. -
@Ben-H I have just written to BKAV customer services and asked them to disable the false positive. I’ve had a good experience with this company and I’m sure it will disappear soon.
