       | The default compression for Git archives has recently changed. As
       | result, archives downloaded from GitHub may have different
       | checksums even though the contents are completely unchanged.
       | 
       | GitHub doesn't guarantee the stability of checksums for
       | automatically generated archives. These are marked with the words
       | "Source code (zip)" and "Source code (tar.gz)" on the Releases
       | tab. If you need to rely on a consistent checksum, you may upload
       | archives directly to GitHub Releases. These are guaranteed not to
       | change.
