Provider.ts in electron-update does not support SHA2 hashes

See original GitHub issue

electron-builder version: 20.22.0

electron-updater version: 2.23.2

Target: Windows and Mac OS X

We use a custom generic update server for delivering app updates and the installation files. Our system only stores the SHA256 code. When delivering our latest.yml / latest-mac.yml files the electron updater throws this error: https://github.com/electron-userland/electron-builder/blob/d5536297dcb9ff4e306ed04b9f354fccbb490eee/packages/electron-updater/src/providers/Provider.ts#L113

The issue is caused above: https://github.com/electron-userland/electron-builder/blob/d5536297dcb9ff4e306ed04b9f354fccbb490eee/packages/electron-updater/src/providers/Provider.ts#L99 where our SHA256 gets dropped.

Is this intentional (and support of SHA256 hashes will be dropped permanently)? Can we add a line:

sha2: updateInfo.sha2,

after line 99?

Why not simply use latest.yml generated by electron-builder?
