Of course we are using a new Authenoitcode Cert.  But we can't simply
resign old releases becuase this would require to entirely unpack
everything, resign the binaries, create a new installer and sign that
new installer.  That is a different software then and requires a new
version.

Further: Authenticode signatures have a timestamp and thus you have
assurance when they were issued.

Gpg4win 5.0 is not too far away.


Salam-Shalom,
