Just merely stating that it would be cool have BLAKE2 among the available hashing functions
[for those who don't know, BLAKE2 is the integrity function available in new RAR archives (RAR5), and was one of the finalists at the SHA3 competition. Keccak was the winner, but isn't yet standardized]

Blake2 is much faster than MD5.
Also, it was BLAKE that was in the SHA3 competition, not BLAKE2.

Re: New hash: BLAKE2
Hmmm... I'm not too familiar with Microsoft's dev center and not a very experienced programmer so I'm not really sure what this page references. Windows API I'm guessing. I'm not sure how I would go about bringing Blake2 to their attention so it can be added. There are official implementations of it here:
https://github.com/BLAKE2/BLAKE2
and I know I've seen some c++ libraries for it.
