Hi,

actually the topic says it all. Either I missed the checksums to confirm my download was ok, or there are no checksums.

I feel like there should be a way to verify that download was not broken.

Best

There are GPG signatures at https://github.com/commercialhaskell/stack/releases (the files with `.asc` extension) that can be used to verify, but we could add `.sha256` files pretty easily as well for future releases.  Can you think of any reason we should _also_ include md5/sha1, or would just sha256 be enough?

Sounds good to me. That was meant as or, not and.
