Signed Executables

We started using our code signing certificate to sign the application EXE, installer and FFDec JAR files. This is measure against some antivirus vendors who kept (incorrectly) marking our installers as malicious. Also it is mark that software was not tampered with.
The software author should show something like “CZ, Středočeský kraj, Jindrich Petrik, Jindrich Petrik” although you can see some improper characters instead of “ř” and “č” as its not in English alphabet.

Note that signed executables are not available on Flathub version of FFDec as they build our software on they own server where there they do not have our signing keys.

MSI Windows Installer

We switched from Nullsoft Install System (NSIS) setup.exe to MSI (Windows Installer) format. I think this may also help to remove false positives in antiviruses.
Before installing MSI for the first time, I would recommend to uninstall the old version via previous NSIS uninstaller as we do not do this automatically.

Version Info on Splash Screen

Windows executable (ffdec.exe) contains splash screen to display before java loads.
The splash screen has now version information included. Also the ffdec.exe has same version info as the app.

Slovak Translation (AI)

I added Slovak translation which was generated solely by Copilot Claude AI, i just updated it a bit.
It is an experiment. A know Slovak a bit and it seems that the translation is usable.

Updated German Translation (AI)

Since German translation was not touched a long time, I told the AI if it can be improved. I hope it worked. Not sure. It’s an experiment.
