Thanks for saying this! It is incredible how widespread still is the belief that FNV is a good hash function, when much better ones exist that are faster even on short keys.

I am only repeating what my tests say. I was surprised frankly, given FNV's reputation, to see it fail so many tests. Also I put a lot of effort into improving the quality of testing that smhasher does, so there are many hashes that would pass the old version which will fail the new one.
