Where can I find the Nightly Build checksum? Thanks!

They get generated and are there, but I just see there is no link to them. You can find them for example here:

I have just added links to these checksum files on the download page:

Great, thanks for your rapid response. Have a nice Sunday!

To complete the job, I would suggest to add the checksum for the Portable downloads too. ;-)

Makes sense! Just did that, and replaced the word "checksum" in the links with a ≃ symbol (Tilde Equal):

Hi Ansgar, The checksums for nightly builds are not available anymore. Did you change your mind about this? Have a nice weekend

No I did not change my mind. I had to alter the sign process with my new code signing certificate. Thanks to Microsoft and others the newer code signing certificates need a hardware USB token in the actual signing process. With such a hardware token I had to remove the signing step from my automated build, and now only releases are signed, manually.

During the changes I did here I also removed the automated generation of checksum files, which was done after the automated signing. I am now again automatically generating the checksum files for the builds, which you can see in the newest nightly build of revision 7073. But note the builds are no longer signed, due to that manual process.

Sorry to hear about your hassle. Unfortunately, unsigned nightly builds is too risky for me. I will stick to signed releases from now on. Thanks
