Release 1.1.87

Bug Fixes

Trust Bundle: "Add Additional From" now includes the built-in JRE trust store

Previously, when the trust anchor mode was set to "Add Additional From", the additional certificates from the selected file were added on top of the EST CA certificates only. The JRE built-in trust store was silently ignored, causing TLS connections to servers with certificates issued by well-known public CAs to fail unexpectedly.

Now, selecting "Add Additional From" correctly merges all three sources:

1. The JRE built-in trust store
2. The EST CA certificates retrieved via Get CA Certificates
3. The additional trust anchors loaded from the specified file
