All platforms: The server can now dictate the repository hashing algorithm to the client

UVCS currently supports two file hashing algorithms: SHA1 and MD5. The hashing algorithm in use depends on the FIPSCompliant flag defined both in client.conf and server.conf.

However, both client and server had to have the flag configured to the same value for hashing to work OK. Misconfigurations could result in repositories storing hashes in one format whilst the clients expected the hashes in a different format, and the other way around.

Now, the hashing algorithm to use can be configured from the repository server only. If both server and client are using this UVCS version or newer, the client will honor the configuration set on the server regardless of the client.conf FIPSCompliant setting.

For newer clients working against older servers, or the other way around, the client's FIPSCompliant flag is still in use, to ensure backwards compatibility.

All platforms – Plugin for JetBrains IDEs: Show recommended cm version and download link in Configuration view

The Configuration view now displays the recommended cm version for the current plugin build, with a clickable "Download" link that downloads the matching cm client bundle directly from the IDE. The download runs in the background with a progress indicator and saves the file to the user's Downloads folder.
