   The latest push uses a slightly different approach: It includes the hashing 
mode option in the algorithm name, e.g. `SHA-512/salted`, `SHA-512/legacy`, 
`SHA-512/plain`. Mode `plain` is the default if not specified, e.g. as in 
`SHA-512`. Unless the algorithm is read from the database, in which case the 
option from `<hashingMode>` is used instead (default `plain` again). The 
benefits of this are:
   
   - No extra column needed, so **no database migration** necessary!
   - No `hashingModeFallback` anymore, as the existing `hashingMode` setting 
_is_ the fallback.
   - No configuration changes necessary; James will start upgrading `legacy` 
mode passwords to `plain` ones by default.
   - Hopefully easier to introduce advanced hash algorithms like PBKDF2, 
bcrypt, etc. in the future.
   - Bonus: Now includes JPA!
