Small change in plans guys...

We realized that the machine in the middle attack scenario was a very serious security risk for our users. and so decided to get out a very quick release to address pretty much just that.

We went ahead and released version v4.5.19.3753 which most users should get through auto-update, or can manually get at https://www.rainmeter.net/.

Since this was also addressed in this v4.5.28.3779 pre-release version you guys are currently testing, you guys won't need to do anything just now, other than carry on testing as you can, and again, let us know of any issues. The 4.5.19.3753 release was done to ensure the wider base of users got that fix as soon as possible.

We have a few more tweaks to do, and then we will do a full release in the next couple of days.

I think you should release this new version. :thumbup:
I used it now already many days and works totally stable, never had any problems at all.
