Distribute windows version as .zip

Closed this issue · 3 comments

Windows has native support for extracting .zip files and .7z requires installation of a special program - this creates a barrier of entry for casual users wanting to check the project out.

7z has better compression and is generally more optimized with the added bonus that installing 7-zip adds support for many other compression formats, it doesn't have any downsides besides having to actually install it

Its a single 80mb file - even if zip is twice the size at 160mb it doens't matter

Considered for next release. Closed as its not code related.
