Users may still need to explicitly approve the downloaded app through Finder or macOS Privacy & Security. Release copy must not describe these builds as Developer ID signed, notarized, or Gatekeeper-approved.
 
 Windows releases are currently unsigned. SmartScreen may warn until code signing is added.
