Use and limitations

The tracker is descriptive research, not legal advice, and it does not claim that every enforcement matter involving software or algorithms is included. Check the primary-source links and the as-of date before relying on a record.

Integrity verification

From the release directory, run:

shasum -a 256 -c SHA256SUMS
