-t raw: qnxprobe is updated to 1.57. On NTFS, a cloud provider's online-only placeholder (OneDrive Files On-Demand) is no longer staged as zeros, a file the Windows Overlay Filter compressed with XPRESS is staged as its content, and an NTFS-compressed file with a compression unit that ends early is staged at its full length.

Every download holds one program, vleapp. Started without arguments, from the Start
menu, the Applications folder or a double-click, it opens the window. Given arguments in a
terminal, it is the command line. On macOS the command line is inside the app:
/Applications/VLEAPP.app/Contents/MacOS/vleapp --helpFor tools that run VLEAPP themselves. The options, output and exit codes of vleapp
are those of earlier releases, but the downloads changed shape: there is no vleappGUI
any more, since vleapp without arguments opens the window. On Windows and macOS,
vleapp needs the folder it came in, so run it from there rather than copying the
executable elsewhere on its own; on Linux the AppImage is the whole program.
First launch
The macOS disk images are signed with a Developer ID and notarised by Apple, so they open
without a warning.
The Windows binaries are not signed yet, so SmartScreen says "Windows protected your PC"
the first time. Choose More info, then Run anyway.
On Linux, make the AppImage executable once (chmod +x VLEAPP-*.AppImage). It needs FUSE
to start; where FUSE is not available, run it with --appimage-extract-and-run.
If you would rather not clear a warning, run from source instead; the README has the steps.
Verify what you downloaded
SHA256SUMS.txt covers every file in this release. On macOS or Linux, from the folder you
downloaded into:
grep <the file you downloaded> SHA256SUMS.txt | shasum -a 256 -c -Use sha256sum in place of shasum -a 256 on Linux. On Windows, in PowerShell:
(Get-FileHash -Algorithm SHA256 .\<the file you downloaded>).Hashand compare it with the line in SHA256SUMS.txt, which is lower case.
Linux
The build is made on Ubuntu 22.04, so it needs glibc 2.35 or newer and will not start on
an older distribution.
