Hi DJ –
1. We do usually post some notes on the website in a blog posting with each new version, depending on the nature of the particular release. We plan to post something this week for the version released on Friday. It just hasn’t been published yet. Usually the blog posting will follow the actual release of the new build by several days up to about a week.
2. We don’t publish file hashes. We *do* sign the BatchPatch.exe, which is superior to just publishing file hashes. Scott just wrote a posting, which is now also linked off of the download page, that explains why digitally signing a file is superior to publishing a file hash. You can see it here if you’re curious:
