I just upgraded to 1.30 and Malwarebytes is flagging it as malware:

I'm sure it's a false-positive: https://www.virustotal.com/gui/file/e31f8a4967fd1aa8d110bf965ae02f02d9a91e8c2a405f54c7c8ac8775d3cc03 (same with the installer)

This is a known issue (see, e.g. #20): every time I release a new version, one of the antiviruses on VirusTotal gives a false-positive. I tried to send them reports, but developers seems to just add a file hash to the list of exceptions, so the problem pops up again once the next release comes out. Unfortunately, I cannot help here.
