1.1

At the request of beta users:

• More hash algorithms. Ukrainian, Russian, and Chinese government standards are now included, as well as a lot of exotics. (Thank you, BouncyCastle!)
• Better organization of hash algorithms. Out of the box users will only see MD5, SHA-1 and SHA-256 for options, but more can be easily selected.
• Persistence over invocations. Did you get just the right combination of hash algorithms for your workflow? It'll still be there after you quit and restart.
• More and better icons, to help people who are not fluent in English. If you can recognize a country's flag you can select their official algorithm suite.
• Tooltips galore.
• Changed the tab pane's tab names to "Hash a Text" and "Hash a File", to reduce confusion between the File tab and the File menubar option.
• MD5 and SHA-1 are part of the "Common Hashes" suite (and will stay there: they're obsolete but they're also still heavily used), but every other obsolete hash has been moved to the "Obsolete" suite.

Due to an oversight I neglected to tag the Windows and macOS builds with architectures. The Windows one is for x86_64, the macOS one for aarch64.

1.0 released!

QuickerHash is a Free Software tool originally intended to help digital security trainers teach nontechnical people. Rather than ask nontechnical people to open a terminal prompt to use sha256sum, QuickerHash gives a simple GUI that encourages exploration. Users can type in text or select a file, see how different algorithms perform differently in terms of speed and output, and more — all without the fear of breaking the computer that many of them feel when they see a terminal.

Under the hood this is a Java application targeting Java 26, packaged up neatly with jpackage. Pre-built binaries are available for all major platforms. The MacOS version has gone through Apple's vetting process. Detached GnuPG signatures are available for all binaries.
