Hi, not sure this is the right place, tried to ugrade the homebrew cask to the latest (RC2) from RC1, and the checksum wasn’t matching. I uninstalled and cleared cache, but the problem persists on install:
```auto

None of those two correspond to any of the checksums in the md5sum.txt, but that could be due to the cask packaging? I know next to nothing of the internals of homebrew

> Hi, not sure this is the right place
It is!
First thing - ParaView 6.1.0 is out, so RC2 is no longer the latest.
Second thing - when a final release is out, the release candidates are moved to an archive URL, in this case [https://www.paraview.org/files/v6.1/RCs/](https://www.paraview.org/files/v6.1/RCs/). So the checksum mismatch may because you are now getting a “file not found” response from [paraview.org](http://paraview.org), assuming brew pulls it directly from [paraview.org](http://paraview.org).
