Full Changelog: v13.0.0-alpha3...v13.0.0-alpha4
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:
gpg --keyserver hkps://keys.openpgp.org --recv-keys 96C225207F2137E278C31CF7AAC48DE8AB8DEE84
Once you have his PGP key you can verify the release (assuming manifest-v13.0.0-alpha4.txt and manifest-v13.0.0-alpha4.txt.sig are in the current directory) with:
gpg --verify manifest-v13.0.0-alpha4.txt.sig manifest-v13.0.0-alpha4.txt
You should see the following if the verification was successful:
gpg: Signature made Sat Apr 11 00:02:24 2026 EDT
gpg: using RSA key 96C225207F2137E278C31CF7AAC48DE8AB8DEE84
gpg: issuer "zeusln@tutanota.com"
gpg: Good signature from "Zeus LN <zeusln@tutanota.com>"
gpg: aka "ZEUS Support <support@zeusln.com>"
That will verify the signature on the main manifest page which ensures integrity and authenticity of the binaries you've downloaded locally. Next, depending on your operating system you should then re-calculate the sha256 sum of the binary, and compare that with the following hashes:
cat manifest-v13.0.0-alpha4.txt
One can use the shasum -a 256 <file name here> tool in order to re-compute the sha256 hash of the target binary for your operating system. The produced hash should be compared with the hashes listed above and they should match exactly.
