It would be nice if the api for core files provided sha256 checksums as well. Current endpoint example: https://api.wordpress.org/core/checksums/1.0/?version=4.7.4&local=en_US Current output example: {{{ { checksums: { 4.7.4: { wp-settings.php: ""fb589663ae16319c1e228edf604125e9"", ... } } } }}} Suggested change - Add a 1.1 endpoint with the following example output: {{{ { version: ""4.7.4"", local: ""en_US"", source: ""https://core.svn.wordpress.org/tags/4.7.4/"", zip: ""https://wordpress.org/wordpress-4.7.4.zip"", files: { wp-settings.php: { md5: ""fb589663ae16319c1e228edf604125e9"", sha256: ""0a0cd31b875f8e1357ecbbb27906dfdec6f4bede01409cd70a4e8d5e5a9ce021"" }, ... } } }}} Thoughts?",enhancement,new,normal,,API,,,
