Don't know if there are published MD5s/ SHA1SUMs. but: The Windows versions are digitally signed, and the signature can be verified (on Windows) with right-click/ "Properties"/ "Digital signatures" tab. I don't know if the versions for other OSs have a similar feature. The signature is even better that an MD5, because it (1) "Ensures software came from software publisher" and (2) "Protects software from alteration after publication". The MD5 is about (2), for (1) you have to trust the source of the MD5.
