 - unless you downloaded the bundled version, have a look at `resources/migrate.sql` to find instructions how to update to new releases

 When running this program from the pre-built .exe, Windows SmartScreen Defender might warn you about an unknown publisher or untrusted certificate. This is expected, as the executable is signed with the author's personal self-signed certificate. Properly signing with a root certificate trusted by Windows and other operating systems is costly and requires funding that this project does not have. 
 
-You should still check the `timerecord.exe` and verify it's actually original. To this end, it has been signed with a certificate that is described in the next section. To ensure your `timerecord.exe` has not been tampered with, open its certificate by viewing its properties through the context menu. Navigate to Digital Signatures, then Details, select View Certificate, then again Details.
