Releases
All releases and checksums
Every test release of the validator, newest first, with its notes and the SHA-256 of each file. The list comes from the signed release feed, releases.json, and its signature, releases.json.sig. Only the newest release can be downloaded; older ones stay here for the record.
This release runs the 6529 chain, a test chain, beside daily TDH signing. Its test currency, $fake6529, is deleted at the switch to $6529, planned for 1 January 2027. The chain starts at 12:00 UTC on 13 November. Most validators signing daily TDH when this release was cut are on the chain's first roster and don't need to sign anything new. If yours isn't, Awards and Keys say why and what brings it in. Awards shows what your validator earns, what's still vesting, and what's released each morning. Send $fake6529 from Awards. Your wallet signs each transfer. There is no gas, and the transfer pays a fee in $fake6529. A transfer can't be undone. If the chain stops on this computer, an alert says so. Daily TDH signing goes on.
A validator that doesn't update keeps signing daily TDH but doesn't run the chain or earn $fake6529. After 7 days with no chain vote, it leaves the chain's roster at 22:00 UTC.
- Help doesn't explain the chain yet. The Awards, Send and Keys pages explain each state.
rc.15 checks an automatic update through its first day's vote. If the new release can't sign that day, your validator goes back to the one before. The Network page shows which releases the validators run, by TDH, and the rings show TDH. You get an alert when your account's authorization changes. The Log can copy a range, and the app follows your Light or Dark choice.
- Windows: installing by hand over rc.14 (Update now, or rc.15's Setup.exe run yourself) asks once about files in use. Press Ignore. The automatic update asks nothing.
- Windows: if the app asks you to install again right after an update, don't uninstall. Restart Windows; the message goes away.
- Windows: if another program holds validator.exe when rc.15 goes back to rc.14, run Setup.exe from 6529.io/validator after the restart.
- Mac: an app that fails its signature checks is removed and never run.
- Linux: going back leaves the package manager's record whole.
rc.14 installs updates by itself. When 6529 releases an update, your validator downloads it within 12 hours and installs it once that day's vote is sent. If the new release doesn't start properly, it goes back to the one before, with your settings as they were. It is on by default on Windows, in the Mac app and with the Linux .deb. To turn it off, use Settings › About › Install updates automatically. Go back on the Update page still returns you to the release you had.
- On Windows outside Program Files, or a Mac account that can't replace apps in Applications, updates don't install by themselves; the page says so. Use Update now.
- Before you go back by hand to rc.13 or older, turn automatic updates on.
- Help says what to do after a stolen wallet: make new keys and authorize them from a wallet you still hold.
- "A different result" shows only where your key signed one.
- An urgent update that installs by itself is a note, not an alert.
rc.13 is a regular update: install it when it suits you. The Update page now shows the full notes of every release before you press Install.
- Under the hood, each day's work, signing, joining, grants and Tor connections now run as small state machines, each tested against its model in Lean.
- A home validator no longer tells anyone who asks which keys run on it.
- Signing out of Windows no longer stops the validator.
- A validator you stopped stays stopped until you press Start.
- Windows in any language reads the service the same way.
- A failed install, update or restart no longer leaves the validator off.
- Tor can connect through this computer's proxy, and Network has a Test Tor speed button.
- Four more 6529 relays, in more parts of the world.
- After a restart, each day picks up where it left off, and a day without a certificate is no longer shown as certified.
rc.12 fixes new validators on the new chain: after the 8 November switch, a validator joining for the first time could not load the network's history. Nothing else changed.
rc.11 fixes installing and updating on Windows set to a language other than English, such as Spanish. There, every install and update stopped with error 0x80070643, because the installer misread the validator service's status. rc.11 reads it correctly. If the validator shows as stopped after you install it, press Start in the app. Nothing else changed.
rc.10 runs Sunday's switch exactly as rc.9 does. If you run rc.9, you don't need to update before Sunday. If you run rc.8 or older, update before Sunday 8 November, 00:00 UTC, to rc.9 or rc.10. On a Mac, choose Quit for an update, then drag the new app to Applications and open it. On Windows, if Setup shows "Files in use", press Ignore.
- Sign on your phone: scan the code and sign with the wallet on your phone.
- Update now: the app downloads the next release, checks it and installs it when you press Install.
- Open in your browser, from the logo's menu and the app's menus.
- The top bar shows the release this computer runs.
- How TDH is computed, rebuilt with figures you can change.
- A Tor report to copy when you ask for help.
- Today says why an authorization doesn't count yet, and from when it does.
- Fixed: a failed Windows update keeps the validator; the menu-bar logo on macOS 26; one key per computer in a first authorization.
Update before Sunday 8 November, 00:00 UTC. From then signed TDH counts only on the new chain that rc.9 runs; it moves there by itself, with your key and authorization. On a Mac, follow the update steps in the release notes. On Windows, if Setup shows "Files in use", press Ignore.
- Sunday's total TDH is the one 6529.io shows: the zero and dead addresses count.
- Sunday is agreed once accounts with more than 2/3 of validating TDH run rc.9 and have signed. Nobody is penalized either way.
- Settings opens again; Quit, Cmd-Q, copy and paste work in the Mac app; Quit for an update.
- A Mac update no longer leaves the validator off, or on the old release.
- A wallet that joined its account after a cutoff counts from the next day; no more "sign again".
- Progress never goes back; Today says when this computer signed.
- New: How TDH is computed, one card per account and the day's figures in TDH on Network, and which release each validator runs.
The fourth release for testers. Install it over rc.7; a stopped validator stays stopped. Open the page from the app: its address changed. On a Mac, quit the app first.
- Fixed from your reports: no clash with 6529 Desktop; Authorize waits for Ethereum; a bad bridge line no longer stops it; any Windows user can use the app; open sections stay open; times in UTC; the Mac app no longer reopens and works on macOS 12.
- A validator that starts late, restarts or wakes from sleep catches up on what it missed.
- Network leads with the validators: TDH and days signed, today and tomorrow.
- On a network that blocks Tor, it gets in by a bridge by itself (lyrebird comes with it), or offers Connect without Tor after asking.
- 6529's Bootstraps also listen on port 443.
- A key that also signs on another computer stops before it can vote twice.
- The app shows the service's log; Report a problem makes a cleaned report.
The third release for testers. Install it over rc.6.
- The page comes up in seconds, before Tor and Ethereum. On a network that blocks Tor, the page says so and the validator keeps trying.
- While it starts, the app shows each step and what it is doing now. If a step takes too long or the service stops answering, it says which, with Restart the validator service.
- On Windows, rc.7 replaces any earlier test release, files included, and removes extra entries in Installed apps.
- The app's window no longer stays blank, and only one copy of the app runs for each user.
- On Windows, no small see-through window at the top left of the screen.
- One Ethereum server's impossible answer can no longer stop the daily scan.
- The page keeps your place when it redraws, and "Why that day" gives the first signature's exact rule.
- A fresh light-client checkpoint.
The second release for testers. Install it over rc.5.
- Your vote goes out as soon as it is signed: no random wait. A home computer needs to be on from about 00:15 to 00:30 UTC.
- The Network page shows the validators and accounts taking part today, and how much of the TDH has signed.
- The app signs in your browser, and moves on by itself once the authorization is signed anywhere.
- A new install shows the network's newest agreed day within seconds of its first peer, and the block scan shows how far it is and the time left.
- Keys shows each of your account's computers, and since when each key counts.
- With Tor off, a validator finds three of 6529's built-in peers by IP address.
- A fresh light-client checkpoint, and fixes for rc.5's known issues: the old NOT_GRANTED note, the light-client warning, the development-build message and a Mac system service's Update steps.
The first release for testers.
- Mac and Windows: the 6529 Validator app, with its own window and 6529's logo in the menu bar or by the clock. Its menu pauses, stops and starts the validator.
- No peers to add. A fresh install takes the TDH history from the network and checks it against a checkpoint built into the release.
- Once an hour the validator reads 6529's signed list of releases and tells you when a newer one is out. It never installs anything.
- It finds its country from data in the release, and Settings has a country picker.
- An account can authorize up to 16 computers and choose each one's share.
- Shorter, plainer words on every page, and rewritten Help.
- Every package carries the licences of the code and data it includes.
