    Bug 795720 - Change MD5 sums to SHA512 ones.
    
    We should stop using MD5 sums altogether and push forward SHA256/SHA512
    hash sums instead. The website is also being updated to display these in
    favor of the deprecated MD5 sums.
    We are most likely not going to remove previously computed MD5 sums, or
    recompute SHA* hashes for older binaries, but at least we should stop
    doing MD5 sums of any future binary.
