Hi Marek, Do you mean pre-calculated txt output files? I think that is the idea of megatest, check up-to-date pygr with old version and see what causes errors or differences.
If you mean "diff" rather than MD5, I think it is worth doing that. We can get a bunch of results, what's really changed... Of course, it will be better to use compressed files rather than big text files.
