TUI really is one of the best features to really get into gdb. visually stepping through the disassembly really makes debugging more appealing, I really wish they dont abandon this aspect of gdb

Cool, but why are the release checksums in MD5?

MD5 is fine for verifying a download is not corrupted, so that's probably the intended use.

For that purpose, TCP already includes a CRC32. I'd say cryptographic hashes are generally meant for more than corrupted downloads.

Which is not that hard to fool on large files with multiple, sistemic errors.
