Well I felt it was the easiest and most open way of keeping people updated, if they're interested in the updates. As you've seen I do try to post to it regularly. Keep an eye on the blog for beta testing details. I'll post them there and on the web site as well.
I've decided to move updates over to a blog on the digestIT site, allowing me to better keep everyone up to date on the progress of the new version. Visit the blog if you're interested.

The multithreading idea is actually on hold as well -- still considering it. Overall it'll probably be a detriment to performance, though it would be a neat feature to have if I can get it working. Plus the control I'm working on for the user interface (which is getting a revamp, by the way) wouldn't really handle multithreading too well, in my opinion. So for now that idea's on hold.

Oh yes, great Idea. I think we don't need multithreading. The behavior of the Unix MD5 is good enough. One Input File with the digest and the corresponding Filename per line.

Right now digestIT 2004 does not have that ability, but the new version of the software will. I have actually been recently talking with a prospect and the talk has generated even more ideas that I will also be implementing. It's going to be interesting once development becomes fully active once again, which should be very soon.
I will try my best to keep things up to date here. If I decide to move update news to a new location, such as a blog or something like that, that will be posted here and on the home page.

Hi, I'm a software quality engineer for a very small (by comparison) office of a major aerospace company and I can say that I'd be interested in getting the professional level if it has the features you mention. Here's how I use checksums...developer generates the a build file for the latest release, the build file references 20-200 source files, every file has a checksum run (we use MD5) and all the MD5s get put into one main file, the build is compiled and the binary files' MD5 checksums are also run and put into a file, everything gets put onto a DVD and then *I* have to run the MD5s all over again before stamping the DVD with my aproval.
When the DVD arrives at the test/customer/partner site, another sw quality engieer or configuration management engineer will load the software into their system and *again* run MD5 checksums on every file to verify they all made it okay. SO, anything that I can use to generate and verify multiple MD5s and also toss them into the version description document? Oh yeah, I'd pound on my manager's desk until she bought it for me!
help the newbie? please « Result #9 on Feb 20, 2006, 12:57pm »
ok, so i'm new to this and looking for some help i'm very confused so i hope this makes sense
i downloaded open office, and i checked the md5 checksum by right clicking and selecting "calculate md5 hash", i then compared the output with the md5 hash written on open office's web site, they matched, i understood this
what i don't understand is how you verify a download with a .sig file, also i downloaded an extension for mozilla thunderbird named enigmail, their signature file is a .asc file, what do i do with that?
so i get how to check with the main website if the checksum is written there, but don't understand how to check it with these files, also if you download this signature file from the same place you downloaded the program, how is that secure?
