Hello.

It is not really a new feature but it is important change of the next version of SMath Studio. Starting from the next version binaries and installers will be always signed with a valid code certificate. This means that any user will be able to check if the program or it's part is created by me or modified by somebody (f.e. virus). See differences on the screenshots below.

This is properties of the file issued by me:


This is properties of the broken file:


User Account Control (UAC) introduced in all Windows versions starting from Vista is also help to easily define author of the file.

Setup package created by me:


Altered Setup package:


Best regards, Andrey Ivashov.

P.S.: As long as code certificates are not free I have had to pay for them using funds collected from donations. Many thanks for all the donations and for your support!

hi DEV
have you thought of funding the android version of SMath using some crowdfunding platform ?
they are sites visited for people eager to support interesting projects, here you have a successful project which attained the initial goal :
http://www.kickstarter.c...-create-your-own-sprites
At least it could be interesting to promote SMath and increase its popularity

Edit:

I could only find this calculator project, it was not funded (aimed for a pretty ambitious 50 000$) but it got over 3000 bucks!! not bad..
http://www.kickstarter.c...os-for-the-android-world
I'm sure you wouldn't go wrong with a funding goal of 6000$ if you made an appealing video.

Edit:
Some advices to win a Kickstarter campaign:

plus send letters to sites that already wrote about SMath to promote the campaign, and an email notification to every SMath forum member asking for spreading the word.
