Hi there:

More sanity checking than an actual question, so this dll is not signed? Does anyone know if there is any semi-recent version of this that is signed? I just find this very strange and i mpretty sure there must be some sort of error on my side Cheers

A: 

No, it's not signed. However if you need it signed (like if you wanted to GAC it or something like that), you can do so yourself with the included source code.

Yes, I did that , but I found it very strange they wouldnt sign it no? Its a pretty basic requirement

Requirement for what? There are very few scenarios that actually require you to sign the assemblies and I'm guessing they assumed that for those few people who need that, you have the source code.

Signing an open-source project doesn't make sense. Do you?

  • Include the key file: In which case anyone can modify the code and sign it as if they're the original author.

  • Don't include the key file: So now if you need to change the original code you can't sign the modification and you can't reference it without the original signing.

It makes more sense to not sign it and let the person download the code and sign it themselves.
