About that notice
The installer is signed with a publicly trusted certificate. Windows SmartScreen still warns about signatures it has not seen many times yet, and ours is new. Continue only if the publisher shown is Michał Jantos; if the notice names anyone else or says the publisher is unknown, do not run the file. The notice goes away on its own as more people install Return. How releases are signed and verified: Security.
