Original: Jacksum 4 is here – a major release of my open-source checksum tool (current release: 4.0.2). • 586 algorithms, and --in

Developer Johannes Lauter has released Jacksum 4, a major update to his open-source checksum tool, now at version 4.0.2. The new version supports 586 algorithms, with an --info option explaining whether a given algorithm is considered broken and why. A --check-strict mode reports changed, added, removed and unreadable files, and output styles match tools like shasum for easier drop-in use.

Why now: The release is fresh news of interest to developers and security-minded users who rely on checksum tools.
