Problem Description

FreeTube is an excellent app, and seeing it has been in development and use for about 3-4 years, even if it is still considered "beta", for security reasons it makes sense to have checksum verification file(s).

I am aware of issue #765 -- but that was 3 years ago, the app looks and behaves pretty mature now, I think it is time to reconsider.

Every software release is safer when checksum verification file(s) are generated during build.

Please add checksum verification files to the release (SHA256, SHA512, etc.)

I would like to be able to verify the integrity of downloaded files/binaries.

Example projects on github which are doing that:

Thank you!

This is greatly appreciated.
