 Fingerprinting and [SRI](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/Security/Subresource_Integrity) can be applied to any asset file using `resources.Fingerpint` which takes two arguments, the resource object and a [hash function](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cryptographic_hash_function). 
 
-The default hash function is `sha256`. Other available functions are `sha512` and `md5`.
+The default hash function is `sha256`. Other available functions are `sha384` (from Hugo `0.55`), `sha512` and `md5`.
 
 Any so processed asset will bear a `.Data.Integrity` property containing an integrity string, which is made up of the name of the hash function, one hyphen and the base64-encoded hash sum.
