Checksum for software authentication

• Jan 10, 2015 - 04:43

Is there any place where we can see a checksum (e.g. SHA-256) of the downloadable files?

I'm running OSX 10.8, and I downloaded "MuseScore-1.3.dmg" from http://musescore.org/en/download/musescore.dmg, and I'm sure it works just fine, but it's generally unsafe to execute programs downloaded via plain HTTP, without some kind of authentication. Is there any way I can ensure that the .dmg file hasn't been tampered with?

(Unfortunately, simply providing the checksum here won't work, because this forum is itself served via HTTP...)

Thanks for raising this issue. We'll be adding the checksum and https support to musescore.org when we release 2.0.
