From 1284a4f69b1421920c034098b929c35e62aa249e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Claude Date: Sat, 31 Oct 2026 07:22:25 +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 NVENCForgeGUI 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 NVENCForgeGUI instead.
