- This version is not properly codesigned as in the over a year since the last update standards have changed and I haven't bothered to move all the dependencies in to a Frameworks folder and try signing again. Just can't be bothered as it doesn't affect running the app, sorry! Compile from source if that's an issue for you. Right-click or ctrl-click and choose 'Open' to bypass gatekeeper warning.
