Following the discussion with Arnout and Peter, I marked this patch as
"Changes Requested" (it was not merged in master prior to the 2018.08
release). And instead, I committed a fix in master now, only for the
v2.0.12-beta version of synergy. For this one, the hash of the tarball
was already correct.

Best regards,

Thomas
