GitHub creates release archives on-the-fly and they are not guaranteed to be stable. This fact was discovered after few years of relying on the assumption of stability of such archives :)

In most cases the problem can be solved just by updating Hunter to latest version and using latest packages version in case you have saved non-default versions in LOCAL.

There will be no automatic update of hashes introduced since it affects binary cache, hence all the packages should be re-uploaded. And upload procedure is not automatic yet. Instead update will be introduced on demand.

The best solution is to find archive with old SHA1 in local Download directory. Then upload it as asset attached to the same release tag and add new URL to Hunter. In this case it will fix new builds and keep old cache binaries, feel free to open new issue and provide the link to old archive.
