Description

Hey aptible Team,

would it be possible on the release-notes where we can copy paste the sha hashes and the ENV+Links to add something else then sha1?

According to a lot of videos and article google already did make a collision happen where 2 files have the same hash, in 2017.

IIRC the recommendation was to use sha2-family (sha256) or sha3-family, even the Department of Defense reacted to it back in the day.

Research direction

No files or tests are named. Start by locating how release notes produce the copyable hashes and where the ENV and links are assembled; determine which SHA-2 or SHA-3 option the project can support. Done means release notes no longer publish SHA-1 hashes and the resulting hashes can be copied and checked reliably.
