Subject: [PATCH] md5sum,sha*sum: fix --ignore-missing with checksums starting
 with 00

* NEWS: Mention the fix.
* src/md5sum.c (digest_file): Add a new MISSING parameter to
return whether the file was missing, separately from the digest.
* tests/misc/md5sum.pl: Add a test case.
Fixes http://bugs.gnu.org/24795

   ls --time-style no longer mishandles '%%b' in formats.
   [bug introduced in coreutils-7.2]
 
+  md5sum --check --ignore-missing no longer treats files with checksums
+  starting with "00" as missing.  This also affects sha*sum.
+  [bug introduced with the --ignore-missing feature in coreutils-8.25]
+
   nl now resets numbering for each page section rather than just for each page.
   [This bug was present in "the beginning".]
