What's New

  • Added verification against GitHub's own SHA256 digest for each release asset (assets[].digest, computed server-side at upload time), replacing the project's own separately-published .sha256 files (these have been removed from previous releases).
  • Added a direct Releases API call in START.bat's first-run bootstrap so it can read the asset digest before core.ps1 exists to do it for you.

Improvements

  • Removed an extra network request per update check - the digest is already present in the release data the script fetches, so nothing extra needs to be downloaded or parsed to verify it.
  • Strengthened the trust model for update verification: GitHub computes the digest independently of whatever uploaded the asset, rather than the project generating both a file and its own checksum for that file.

NOTE: You only need to download START.bat - the PowerShell core will automatically download itself.
