All previous releases served the Linux binary as a .tar.gz file, but the 1.0.1 switched to a .zip file. Can we have a .tar.gz file as well? Switching formats for different releases breaks install scripts (like mine).

If .zip is the new permanent format, I can update my script to work with that, but it'd be nice for Sia to use consistent file formats for the releases.

.zip is the new permanent format, because our auto-update code expects a zip archive. Apologies for the inconvenience

Sorry to break compatibility. There will probably be a few more compatibility bumps in the future, but we're trying to preserve compatibility as much as possible.

I definitely appreciate you making the issue, it's good to see what things we are accidentally breaking.
