In March 2026, delivered configurable output lengths for SHAKE128 and SHAKE256 in the checksum feature of uutils/coreutils. This enhancement adds support for user-specified output lengths by updating internal structures to handle bit-length specifications and adjusting tests to validate correct behavior. The change improves flexibility and usability of checksum utilities, enabling broader adoption and easier integration with downstream systems.
