Title: Updated today where can I get the hash of the .exe and .dll's ?
Post by: dfatm on 21 05 2021, 21:40:31

Hi,

For some reason when I started it up today it said updates were available.   I checked the website nothing new looked like it was released.  How can I verify the .exe and .dll hash against released versions?

Thanks.

Because we backport fixes from dev version to stable from time to time.

Seems like it's not a hash of the whole binary, but only some part of file. This allows the updater not to download files if they differ only by the build date in the PE header.

The easiest way to make sure the files are identical is to use a PluginUpdater (https://wiki.miranda-ng.org/index.php?title=Plugin:PluginUpdater/en).
