Notepad++ 8.8.7

With this release v8.8.7 Notepad++ is now signed by a legitimate certificate issued by GlobalSign. This is a major security milestone, and it should permanently resolve all concers regarding the authencity and integrity of Notepad++ releases.

It’s been a challenging few months, struggling with administrative hurdles and dealing with certificate authorities to make this happen. Essentially, for an open-source project to obtain a certificate under its name, it must be recongnized as a business entity. In our case, that meant creating and registering a nonprofit organization (NPO) with the project name in the maintainer’s country of residence. This process fullfilled the certificate company’s requirements.
