We can and should just replace SHA1 hashes with SHA256 hashes for older releases, instead.
@FiloSottile, any news about adding SHA256 hashes for older releases?
@perillo It's unlikely we'll have time for this while in the Go 1.17 freeze, but perhaps afterwards.
@dmitshur, well, it is not really an important change. Thanks for the reply.
These versions don't have the SH256 checksum available, however the SHA1 checkum is listed on https://golang.org/dl, as an example https://golang.org/dl/#go1.4.3.
In order to support them, it is necessary to print a warning in case the SHA256 is not available, instead of terminating the program. Here is an example of the warning from my CL (not yet submitted):
