If you look at the checksum textfile, it now says Hash:SHA256
(For awhile it mentioned SHA1 or something, referring to the GPG sigs.)

It's also in the Beta release notes, with specific instructions to use
sha256.

(Just below the yellow background warning you to back up data, under the
screenshot tour--or, just search sha256 on the page.  :)  )
