SHA -- ok PGP -- ok I've built JMeter from the source archive ( ./gradlew :src:dist:build -Prelease ) The resulting archives seem to contain more-or-less the same files.
The resulting binary seems to work. Unfortunately, it turns out *.class files are sensitive to the minor versions of the Java compiler, so it is somewhat hard to reproduce the binary. I guess we would like to include Java version used by the release manager as an additional release.properties file or something like that. For this time I've installed openjdk version "1.8.0_222", and the binaries are different again. Next time I'll try 1.8.0_201 (the one Milamber used). One more issue: macOS does not display the application icon when switching between applications. That is caused by extra quotes added around the path in https://github.com/apache/jmeter/commit/9dbb0b23469cb996d5a29233d53c21ab7a0a952e Vladimir
