Hash Calculator Changelog

What's new in Hash Calculator 1.3

• Wrapped into a single jar file: I have now wrapped the entire application along with the resources like images and the doc files inside a single jar file with the help of the fatjar hence making it easier to distribute and also avoids the possibility of loosing any important resource files.
• Added Native Look & Feel: I have given the application native look & feel so that the application interface will resemble the users' operating systems look and feel making it more user friendly.
• Removed Algorithm Name from the Hash text output: From a usability standpoint, based on suggestions from users I have now removed the algorithm name that is appended to the calculated hash text in the textbox in order to maximise the viewable hash. Since it is already known what hashing algorithm is being currently used, mentioning it again in the hash text box was redundant and also reduced the visibility of the hash itself especially in the case when the hash is reasonably long.
• Fixed Click To Hash Button's Tooltip: The click to hash button in the main screen had a static tooltip which indicated "Click to calculate MD2 hash" even when the hashing algorithm was other than MD2, I have fixed this to be a dynamic tooltip indicating the current hashing algorithm being used.
• Fixed initial status bar message error: The initial status bar message that is displayed in the startup of the application indicated the incorrect version information, I have fixed this in this release. I hope this application serves a good purpose to you and helps you in your work. I have tried to make sure it is working perfectly and is extremely easy to use for just about anybody, but I still may lack a thing or two from here and there. I would appreciate feedback from you so if you have any suggestions or ideas or any problems that you may have faced, please do inform me about the same. e-mail : [email protected]
