Download hashes are wrong (or wrong/corrupt/infected files on the server)

Post by exener »

Download hashes are wrong for at least some of the v1.40 releases (or the wrong/corrupt/infected files were placed on the server). For example, the 64 bit ZIP download is supposed to be:

AE05BB151F7AE6A33437376A8C3A6290B155B5C7B72D0B3CFEDD60A5A495E263
but is actually:
FDB2C6917D033036F64322F0072E256660531880150714207721D7AE35D7E827

I reported this issue for a previous version, but received no response.

With all the talk about computer security these days, it's interesting that few people bother to even check hashes.

(Note that I'm currently testing the code on an isolated testing system, and I haven't found any obvious problems with it yet. But without all the source code, or the time to closely examine the executables, only the author can know for sure.)
