What's Changed
Packaging Changes
- The setup is now significantly smaller and no longer includes the portable version.
- BCU is now distributed as a framework-dependent application. If .NET 6 is not installed, the installer will automatically download and install it. If you need a stand-alone build like in the previous releases, download the portable version.
Code Signing
- BCU executables and installer are no longer signed. While signing helped reduce false antivirus detections, it also caused some issues. For more details, see discussion #737. Code signing may return if a solution is found.
