+- Downloads will check the content-type returned to determine if a file can be decompressed and skip the decompression stage if so. This removes previous failures where we were trying to decompress a non-zip file. Since this is making a big change to the default behavior, we're making it opt-in via a version bump.
+- Users can also download a zip file without decompressing it with the new `skip-decompress` flag.
