I am pleased to announce that Jacksum 3 has been released!
Jacksum 3 is a major release. I call it the "good things will take time" release ;-)

Here is an eagle view comparison chart with Jacksum 1.7.0. There was never an official Jacksum 2 release and I lifted the version number immediately to 3 due to the feature richness of Jacksum 3.

*1 SHA-512/224, SHA-512/256 were missing, because those algos were introduced in March 2012.
*2 BLAKE-[224,384,256,512], BLAKE2s-[8..256/8], BLAKE2b-[8..512/8], and BLAKE3 are supported; BLAKE2sp and BLAKE2bp are not yet supported
*3 including FNV-0, FNV-1, and FNV-1a for all bit lengths [32,64,128,256,512,1024]*4 Streebog-[256,512] (Russia, GOST R 34.11-2012); SM3 (China); Kupyna[256,384,512] (Ukraine, DSTU 7564:2014); LSH-256-[224,256], LSH-512-[224,256,384,512] (South Korea, KS X 3262)
*5 GOST, GOST Crypto-Pro (Russia, GOST R 34.11-94); HAS-160 (KISA, South Korea)
*6 all five candidates from round 3 the NIST SHA-3 competition were BLAKE, Groestl, JH, Keccak, and Skein
*7 before the SHA-3 competition they were proposals from the NIST crypto workshops called FORK-256, DHA-256, and VSH-1024
*8 SHAKE128, SHAKE256, KangarooTwelve, MarsupilamiFourteen
*9 while a file is read only once if multiple algorithms have been selected, the actual hash calculation occurred sequentially and not in parallel
