Attention Windows Users Some anti-virus scanners might report that the setup exe contains a troyan. Such reports are most likely a false positives, see http://nsis.sourceforge.net/NSIS_False_Positives. (NSIS is the installation system used to build the Windows installer.)

Update for Windows Users The previously uploaded version, which used the Qt4 libraries, appeared to crash on Windows 64bit systems, apparently due to a bug in Qt4. I've now switched to using Qt5 on Windows, which should hopefully fix the issues.
