🛡️ Trust Every Byte: Introducing SHA256 Integrity Checks

Have you ever downloaded a large file—an album, a video, or an archive—only to find it’s corrupted and won’t open? A single flipped bit during a transfer can render a file useless. With v1.0.3, this is a problem of the past.

We’ve integrated SHA256 hash verification into the core of RoseWire’s file transfer process.

So, what does that mean for you?

Think of a hash as a unique, unforgeable digital fingerprint for a file. If even a single byte of the file is altered, the fingerprint changes completely.

Here’s how it works now:

1. Fingerprint on Upload: When you share files from your library, the RoseWire client now generates a unique SHA256 hash (the fingerprint) for each one.
2. Verification on Download: When a friend starts downloading your file, the server tells their client what the original fingerprint should be.
3. Automatic Check: Once the download is complete, their client generates a new fingerprint from the received file and compares it to the original.

If the fingerprints match, the file is perfect. If they don’t, RoseWire automatically deletes the corrupted file and marks the transfer as “Failed” with an error message. This protects you from saving and attempting to use broken files, saving you time and frustration.

🎨 A Fresh Coat of Paint: Theme Improvements

We believe your tools should look and feel good to use. This update brings a few nice quality-of-life improvements to the client’s theming engine:

• Consistent Colors: The secondary accent color now always matches your primary choice, creating a more unified and polished look across the app.
• Better Visibility: Selected icons in the navigation rail now use a high-contrast color (white or black), ensuring they are always easy to see, even if you choose a very light accent color like white.

Happy Sharing!
