This change bugs me, mostly because the checksum files it creates aren't following any kind of standard. I would have preferred the content of the generated file not just be a raw checksum, but actually follow GNU coreutils default format or, more preferably, the BSD "tag" format (see https://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man1/sha512sum.1.html). Following a standard file format allows one to quickly and easily use standard tools to verify the checksum (`shasum -c *.sha512`). Having this plugin enabled by default, and not easily disabled by deactivating a profile or setting a property or something, makes it very frustrating. I'm already doing my own thing to generate checksums, and this generates redundant ones that are far less useful and it's difficult to disable it. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
