Special note for Windows users: the Windows binaries are not signed at this time. The GCF is in process of obtaining a signing certificate, but we still wanted to share this release to the wider audience. If you upgrade to 0.15.3, you’ll need to whitelist the binaries with your antivirus and/or firewall at this time. GCF signed binaries (which do not need to be whitelisted) will be available as soon as we obtain our signing certificate. We apologize for the inconvenience.

Below is an excerpt from the release notes.
