Thanks All

But again, verifying the signature on windows doesn't seem to instill confidence at all
Corvwin  doesnt have a certified key
I am not a certificate expert, so I dont know how all of this works

So,  I still hope Corwin or the Windows Binaries volunteers will still be able to provide
SHA-256 hashes

That's easy: you need to use the correct key signature.  The signature
is shown on the download page:

   ECE7 7CF4 17C7 6C1A CFCE 7C2B 5B61 3551 1580 F007
