# Changelog ## Amber 6.6.3 - Fix the "start service on boot" setting not being respected after an app update - Fix a crash on the offline flavor caused by a `SecurityException` from WorkManager network tracking left over from an upgrade - Fix the Russian translation of the "Amber is a free and open source project" string - Fix a release build failure caused by an AGP 9.4.0 regression Download it with [Zapstore]( [Obtainium](https://github.com/ImranR98/Obtainium), [f-droid](https://f-droid.org/packages/com.greenart7c3.nostrsigner) or download it directly in the [releases page](https://github.com/greenart7c3/Amber/releases/tag/v6.6.3) If you like my work consider making a [donation](https://greenart7c3.com) ## 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: ``` bash gpg --keyserver hkps://keys.openpgp.org --recv-keys 44F0AAEB77F373747E3D5444885822EED3A26A6D ``` Once you have his PGP key you can verify the release (assuming `manifest-v6.6.3.txt` and `manifest-v6.6.3.txt.sig` are in the current directory) with: ``` bash gpg --verify manifest-v6.6.3.txt.sig manifest-v6.6.3.txt ``` You should see the following if the verification was successful: ``` bash gpg: Signature made Fri 13 Sep 2024 08:06:52 AM -03 gpg: using RSA key 44F0AAEB77F373747E3D5444885822EED3A26A6D gpg: Good signature from "greenart7c3 <greenart7c3@proton.me>" ``` 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: ``` bash cat manifest-v6.6.3.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. ## Older versions Release notes for previous versions live in [docs/changelogs](docs/changelogs/README.md).
