It is not a day-to-day used system so is isolated from driveby/email security attacks. +## Status: Go to cdarlint/winutils for current artifacts + +I've been too busy with things to work on this for a long time, so I'm grateful for cdarlint to take up this work: +[cdarlint/winutils](https://github.com/cdarlint/winutils). + +If you want more current binaries, please go there. + +Do note that given some effort it should be possible to avoid the Hadoop `file://` classes (Local and RawLocal) to need the hadoop native +libs except in the special case that you are doing file permissions work. If someone wants to do some effort into cutting the need for +these libs on Windows systems just to run Spark & similar locally, file a JIRA [on Apache](https://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/Dashboard.jspa), then a PR against [apache/hadoop](https://github.com/apache/hadoop). Thanks ## Security: can you trust this release?
