Calculation on :Audacity Manual-2.1.3-1.zip >>does not match

Post by A_Tsampalas » Wed Jul 26, 2017 2:21 pm

>> My operating system is : Windows 10 - 64 bits and the Audacity manual help file is .ZIP
I have just downloaded the new version of Audacity 2.1.3 and tried to install the help manual .
No problem with the program but the manual does not work.
After following your instructions for using the online Calculator I found the following différences :
a) Announced Values
Manuel Audacity - 19,72 MB | Version: 2.1.3
SHA256: 35a8f989ac8dfd24fa73716498feeffb82f838972280623309a557a3fa632a88
b) Obtained results
Manuel Audacity - 19,72 MB | Version: 2.1.3-1.zip
SHA256: 1c845bd568dee774bdf855281c6fb3ff6a368fb56f7a6377393f5bf1153fbbec

c) PS The values SHA256 for :
LADSPA-plugins-Win-0.4.15.exe
Audacity-Win-2.1.3.exe
>> are OK

Thanks for letting us know.

I "think" the problem is (I'll check), is that Audacity was originally released with the 2.1.3 version of the manual, but an important error was found and the manual had to be re-released as 2.1.3-1. So both checksums are probably correct, but the Audacity website needs to have the 2.1.3-1 checksum added.

The correct checksum for the 2.1.3-1 version of the manual is published on the download page at FossHub:
https://www.fosshub.com/Audacity.html/
and that matches your calculated value:
1c845bd568dee774bdf855281c6fb3ff6a368fb56f7a6377393f5bf1153fbbec

Yes, that's what happened.
The sha256 should be correct now.
