Hasher 1.20

Here is a program which I haven't updated in a very long time! There are two main reasons for such a delayed update: I started a complete redesign of Hasher; Priorities have shifted toward other more popular software.

The actual redesigning of Hasher went through several stages. First, Version 2, which supported multi-threaded hashing and had spreadsheet style interface. Then I decided to add classical interface from Version 1.00. Then, there was a big pause in development and when I came back to it I started having completely different views on design of Hasher.

The next release of Hasher will be Version 3. It will contain refreshed and new looking classical interface, completely recoded hashing engine, ability to save hashes to a file and verify such files. Hopefully that will not take another couple of years!

Anyway, here is what's new in Hasher 1.20:
* Incorporated new hashing libraries (Delphi Fundamentals v3.28);
* Eliminated problem with SHA1 implementation, affected files larger than 1GB;
* Hasher can process multiple files, one-by-one, queuing them;
* Added option to write results of hashing and comparing to a log file;
* Added option to recalculate file hash if user changes the hash type;
* String hash is recalculated if user changes the hashing algorithm;
* Input field for calculating string hash is expended to accept multiple lines;
* General cleanup of the source code and minor optimizations;
* Added option to show hash/checksum in upper case;
* Added links to view and clear the results file;
* Added option to compare every 2 files;
* Removed SUM64 algorithm;
* Updated program icon;
