You can see the steps in the build and release process here:?

A long time ago, there was a step included to submit the released Windows executable to McAfee / Norton for whitelisting. That stopped working due to some changes on their and the step was removed. IIRC, they required running some Windows executable that wasn’t available during our release process, which is run on a mix of Linux and Mac machines.

If somebody could write up detailed instructions for submitting to whitelist(s) that can be done from a non-Windows machine, I’d be happy to add those.? If they’re scriptable, that would be even better, as building a test/production release already takes quite a bit of time and attention already. Automation really helps reduce errors.

Alternately, if somebody wants to take on the role of doing the submissions once the files are available (typically a day or so before the release email), that would be _really_ great.
