is it planned?

MD5 is insecure.

But pull requests are welcome.

MD5 is insecure.

Indeed. There's a known and used collision attack for MD5.
However, there is no known preimage attack for MD5 which is why it is still very much in use for download verification and the like. Maybe it has it's place in meteor-crypto, too.

So the digest.js library we are using has support for it already. Also node.js crypto module has support for it. So adding MD5 and SHA1 this to this package would be quite straightforward. You can make a pull request with tests and documentation.

sometimes, just a hash function is needed, and it's security is not in concern.
like creating unique file name based on the hash of file content

You can still do SHA256 and just take the first N characters. ;-)
