Salt 2016.3.5 Release Notes

Version 2016.3.5 is a bugfix release for 2016.3.0.

Improved Checksum Handling in file.managed, archive.extracted States

When the source_hash argument for these states refers to a file containing checksums, Salt now looks for checksums matching the name of the source URI, as well as the file being managed. Prior releases only looked for checksums matching the filename being managed. Additionally, a new argument (source_hash_name) has been added, which allows the user to disambiguate ambiguous matches when more than one matching checksum is found in the source_hash file.

A more detailed explanation of this functionality can be found in the file.managed documentation, in the section for the new source_hash_name argument.
