Nothing here updates itself, or checks whether it should. When there is a new version you come and get it. Wingman never contacts anybody to ask whether a newer version exists. This table is the record; compare the number here with the one in Wingman's own About box.
Verify your download
Every download on this page carries the SHA-256 of the exact file it links to.
On Windows, open a terminal where the file is and run:
certutil -hashfile Wingman-1.8.0-win64-Setup.exe SHA256
Compare what it prints with the digest in the table below. A digest that does not match is not the file this page is talking about, and you should not run it.
About the access code
The build is published at an address derived from your access code, so nothing in this page's markup reveals where it is — no link, no path, no file name a reader of the source could guess. That is what the code buys: not secrecy, and not security. A short shared code can be worked out by anybody willing to try, and this build will not draw a control that looks like a lock and is not one. What it does is keep the hangar tidy while Wingman is in private beta. Every download's SHA-256 is published whether you have a code or not, because a digest is a fact about a build and somebody handed a copy out of band is exactly who needs one.
What a checksum here does and does not prove
It proves the bytes you have are the bytes published here. It is not a code signature and does not pretend to be one: The installer is not code-signed yet, so Windows says the publisher cannot be verified. That warning is telling the truth. Signing is a launch item and it needs a confirmed legal identity behind it, which is not something a build can give itself.
The install itself is reproducible file by file against the
MANIFEST.json inside it. The installer wrapper is not,
because the compressor stamps its own build time into the archive and
there is no switch for it — so the SHA-256 on this page identifies
the file that was published, which is a checksum's whole job.
Releases
Every build this project has produced, with the SHA-256 of each file. Only the current one is ever offered: nothing has ever shipped publicly, so every earlier number is a pre-release that was superseded before it reached anybody.

Versions are read from the files themselves. A major number means a league or a draft log written by an older build stops being readable; a minor means a screen appeared or changed what it does; a patch means a defect closed with no screen moved.
The open-source software inside Wingman is listed with every licence, read off the build itself.
