Download for both releases on same page, link "Details" below both numbers goes to the bottom of the page. MD5s turn out to be for 4.35. Any chance of listing MD5s for 4.28?

Pages on the site only list MD5s for the primary download. The platform includes and checks MD5s for everything it supports including LO Still. This applies to all secondary downloads like Chrome Beta, etc. Eventually we'll be splitting out secondary downloads to be separate apps with their own pages and they'll list MD5s.

There's nearly no reason for MD5s for LO Portable anyway, though. The installers are digitally signed so they can't be modified after publishing. And the installers have self-checks built in so they'll fail to work and show an error if altered after compilation. Those serve ensuring security *far* better than an MD5 which, on its own, would be rather trivial to fake on a modified EXE by adding padding elements.

Sometimes, the impossible can become possible, if you're awesome!
