SWG bar release information

The current release manifest publishes the installer version, download URL, and SHA-256 checksum. The home page download follows the published release.

Version 2.4.0

Verified on November 1, 2026, the official 2.4.0 installer includes the signed SWGBar native network extension for domain bypass. The downloaded package matches the published SHA-256 and passes Apple signature and notarization checks. First use requires macOS approval. Quitting stops active bypass but keeps saved domain choices; reopening can restore them. The detailed tutorial and case study remain pending final verification on 2.4.0.

Version 2.3.7

Published on October 24, 2026, SWG bar 2.3.7 includes Chrome companion 2.1.13, with support for all 12 website languages. Connection labels, observation times and certificate trust labels follow the Chrome interface language.

Chrome Web Store updates are published separately after review. Check the version and languages on the store listing: updating the Mac app does not itself update an extension installed from the store.

Version 2.3.5

Version 2.3.5 was checked on October 23, 2026. Its release source improves license verification feedback and quitting from the Dock. The installer targets Apple silicon Macs running macOS 14 or later.

The website’s language expansion is a website update and does not, by itself, change the installed application’s version or supported interface languages.

Verify a download

Compare the SHA-256 of the downloaded package with the value in the current release manifest. On macOS, the built-in checksum command can calculate it:

shasum -a 256 ~/Downloads/SWGBar-macOS-arm64.pkg

Adjust the path if you saved the file elsewhere. Matching hashes confirm that the bytes match the published checksum; they do not replace macOS code-signing or notarization checks.

Before updating

Save any detection evidence you need to retain. Network changes and upgrades can clear local detection history. Older installer URLs are retired when a new version is published, so always follow the current download link.
