Cool, I was just building 0.13.0 from source this morning as the ‘binaries’ weren’t released yet!

The authentication pop-up looks nice, much more familiar (Chromium/Google-like). The change isn’t mentioned in the change log, is there a reason for it?

Glad you like it - I think you might be right about the change log needing to highlight it a little better.
No reason it shouldn’t…

No reason. An unintentional slip up with the commit naming I think. Looks like the commit wasn’t named appropriately for standard-version, which we’re using for generating the changelog these days.

If we’d labelled it a Feat then it would have been included. Something to bear in mind!

Looks good.

Does the “Maidsafe.net Ltd” just represent the application’s provided company name? or does it reflect the name of the codesign certificate used to create the dll?

I’ve expressed some concerns about apps impersonating other apps, which you can find in the following link - I’d really appreciate your thoughts @DGeddes and @joshuef
