To ensure security, the Monero team has provided SHA256 hashes for verifying downloaded files. Users are encouraged to check these hashes against the GPG-signed list available at the official downloads hash page. Two verification guides are available: one for beginners on Windows and another for advanced users on Linux, Mac, or Windows command line.

A comprehensive guide for the GUI wallet is included in the downloaded archives, with an online version also available for user reference. The complete list of changes can be viewed on GitHub, along with the source code.
