Various code refactoring has taken place to improve overall code quality, without functional changes:

• registry

signtool release

This release adds support for windows signtool in order to add authenticode to windows binaries.
It also fixes the following issues:

• Double results in antivirus detection
• Better CIM tempstamp creation function (+ compatibility layer for wmi_queries < 0.9.5)
• Adds typing requirement for python < 3.5

UTC datetime

This release only renames a function so it's more clear that the datetime object it requires should be in UTC format, also allows to localize the resulting CIM timestamp.
