Yeah, thanks!  I realized this too by trying to do this in Python:

    >>> import hashlib
    >>> hashlib.sha256('foo'.encode()).hexdigest()
    '2c26b46b68ffc68ff99b453c1d30413413422d706483bfa0f98a5e886266e7ae'
    >>> hashlib.sha256('foo\n'.encode()).hexdigest()
    'b5bb9d8014a0f9b1d61e21e796d78dccdf1352f23cd32812f4850b878ae4944c'

Thanks again.
