# AeroCore Booster Releases

This repository is the official public release repository for
**AeroCore Game Booster**, the installer distribution for AeroCore's game
booster product line. It provides release artifacts for installation and
update delivery.

It contains installers and release metadata only. Product source code is
maintained separately.

## Downloads

Download published builds from the
[Releases](https://github.com/AeroCore-IO/booster-installer/releases) page.

A release may contain:

- `AeroCore-Booster_v<VERSION>_linux-x86_64.tar.gz` — application and runtime
  bundle.
- `AeroCore-Booster_v<VERSION>_linux-x86_64.tar.gz.sha256` — bundle checksum.
- `AeroCore-Booster-Setup_v<VERSION>_linux-x86_64.AppImage` — online
  installer.
- `AeroCore-Booster-Full-Setup_v<VERSION>_linux-x86_64.AppImage` — offline
  installer, when published.
- A component manifest recording the versions and source revisions used in
  the build.

Release candidates use tags such as `v0.1.0-rc.1` and are marked as
pre-releases. They are intended for testing and may be incomplete or unstable.

## Verifying a Download

When a SHA-256 file is provided, verify the downloaded artifact before running
it:

```bash
sha256sum --check AeroCore-Booster_v<VERSION>_linux-x86_64.tar.gz.sha256
```

Compare the result with the checksum published in the same release.
