Quick update about the v1.5.0 release -- we just incorporated OSX code signing into our release, and as a result of a mistake where I calculated the checksums _before_ signing the OSX binaries, the current checksums for darwin are wrong. I am pushing up a corrected checksums file and signature now; the binaries themselves are the same and users of non-osx versions of Packer are unaffected.
Thanks!
