From 3d6b2dc03b9510685774f79183d9781830770a60 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Claude Date: Sat, 31 Oct 2026 07:22:23 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] A friendly note: a star helps, and so does telling me what you use it for README: a short note right below the download links. Stars are how small projects qualify for free code signing, which makes the Windows warning go away for everyone; and an issue saying what people use NVENCForge for is just as welcome. Release workflow: every release text now ends with the same note in one line, for the people who read it while updating. Once the files are signed, the line says the star helps others find NVENCForge instead.
