Downloading all the binaries of all platforms can take quite long, especially for slow connections, which may deter people from using this script and, therefore, to disregard security altogether.
This change introduces the new possibility of specifying the platform along with the version number, so that only the binaries that contain the platform name are downloaded.
Concept ACK, seems useful.

Just tested this. Found one issue: looks like the script hangs indefinitely when providing an argument that doesn't match any files. E.g.
./verify.sh 0.12.0-linx
I'll fix it, thanks for the feedback.

Updated: if a platform name is provided that doesn't match any files, it will fail now with an error instead of hanging.
NB: I don't know why the windows travis-CI build failed, looks unrelated to this...
