Release v0.18.1

Verifying the Release

In order to verify the release, you'll need to have gpg or gpg2 installed on your system. Once you've obtained a copy (and hopefully verified that as well), you'll first need to import the keys that have signed this release if you haven't done so already:

curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/MostroP2P/mostro/main/keys/negrunch.asc | gpg --import
curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/MostroP2P/mostro/main/keys/arkanoider.asc | gpg --import
curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/MostroP2P/mostro/main/keys/catrya.asc | gpg --import
curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/MostroP2P/mostro/main/keys/andreadiazcorreia.asc | gpg --import

Once you have the required PGP keys, you can verify the release (assuming manifest.txt.sig.negrunch, manifest.txt.sig.arkanoider, manifest.txt.sig.catrya, manifest.txt.sig.andreadiazcorreia and manifest.txt are in the current directory) with:

gpg --verify manifest.txt.sig.negrunch manifest.txt
gpg --verify manifest.txt.sig.arkanoider manifest.txt
gpg --verify manifest.txt.sig.catrya manifest.txt
gpg --verify manifest.txt.sig.andreadiazcorreia manifest.txt

That will verify the signature of the manifest file, which ensures integrity and authenticity of the archive you've downloaded locally containing the binaries. Next, depending on your operating system, you should then re-compute the sha256 hash of the archive with shasum -a 256 <filename>, compare it with the corresponding one in the manifest file, and ensure they match exactly.
