I have new versions of jigdo and jigit just about ready to go. I've defined a new format v2 for jigdo, which uses SHA256 instead of MD% throughout. The tools to produce jigdo files will now allow the user to choose which format to create (defaulting to v1 *for now*), while the client tools will auto-detect and work with either format. I'm working on a website for the new jigdo binaries, ready with Windows builds of the tools as well. Richard (original author of jigdo) is happy with what I've done and will redirect users to my new stuff. I'm going to get that finished, then start publicising the new tools and the version switch. After a reasonable period I'll switch our production code to format v2. So, progress... -- Steve McIntyre, Cambridge, UK. st...@einval.com "... the premise [is] that privacy is about hiding a wrong.
