Where to find the publisher’s latest version
The publisher’s official site and the app store listing are the source of truth for the latest version number. Boost does not publish or guess version numbers.
How to verify a downloaded file
- Compare the file size in the download dialog against the publisher’s published size.
- Compute the SHA-256 hash of the downloaded file.
- Compare the hash character by character against the publisher’s published hash.
What to do if the hash does not match
Do not install the file. Delete the download. Re-fetch the file from the publisher’s official URL and re-compute the hash. If the second hash still does not match, contact the publisher’s support channels before doing anything else.
