INTEGRITY

Verify your download

Each official package has a matching .sha256 file. Toolbox and snap keep you on signed channels. This site does not host binaries and does not wrap the installer. If a store listing still says Community Edition 2025.2, treat it as stale. Prefer the unified 2026.2.3 build.
