Hi,

I just wanted everyone to understand the significance of this announcement:

>coreutils-5.96-4
>----------------
>* Sun Jun 25 2006 Tim Waugh <twaugh@xxxxxxxxxx> 5.96-4
>- Include new hashes (bug #196369).  Patch from upstream.
>- Build at -O1 on s390 for the moment (bug #196369).


This adds sha224sum, sha256sum, sha384sum, and sha512sum utilities to the
distribution. Attacks on md5sum have been getting better over the last 2 years.
While md5sum is not broken, I think its time to consider migrating to sha256sum
everywhere in the distribution.

Thanks,
-Steve Grubb
