Hi Sebastian,

Sorry, I simply didn't upload the new files, online now (would have been with
the next dictionary release anyway). It's also documented in the Wiki.
Thanks, that simplifies the process.
Concerning presentation, I'd suggest a link `[SHA512]' after each
download link on the downloads page, pointing to the corresponding
.sha512 file.
Ok, so you wouldn't present the hash directory on the website?
Those checksums are long. Does not really look nice in my opionion to
put them right after the file links. Also, the people who are going to
compare the checksums will have to run sha512sum (or equivalent)
anyways, so providing the possibility to just use `sha512sum -c
file.sha512' does not sound so bad.
I wonder whether
it would confuse people if they would download a .sha512 file. But I'm not
using
checksums regularly and don't know what's best practise. If nobody has any
objections, I'll implement it that way in the next days.
Maybe a short description how to use the .sha512 files should be added.
Another option would be to put all the checksums in one big file, e.g.
named SHA512 and link to that. However this is rather problematic due
to all the files being updated independantly and residing in different
directories.
Greetings
Einhard
