+title: Use generic hash for runtime wasm in resolve_state_version_from_wasm
+
+doc:
+  - audience: Node Dev
+    description: |
+      Changes the runtime hash algorithm used in resolve_state_version_from_wasm from DefaultHasher to a caller-provided
+      one (usually HashingFor<Block>). Fixes a bug where the runtime wasm was being compiled again when it was not
+      needed, because the hash did not match
+crates:
+  - name: sc-chain-spec
