Sorry, maybe it's too early in the day but I don't get what the lesson was. Could you explain?

[orliesaurus]

(IMHO) the lesson is that sometimes you're excited to tell the world about what you built, that you forget about some "other stuff"

i.e. I don't think that the authors of this tool wanted to have developers be forced to use the latest version of their tool.

It's probably that they didn't think about it when they wrote the code, but now they know and hopefully this gets fixed in the next release?

Yeah, exactly. A lot goes into shipping, and sometimes things like this can be overlooked, especially on a small team that needs to deliver broad platform support right out of the gate.

There are some bugs that are just hard to find until they're out there.

I just don't understand what the thing about "downloading everything as .gz" means. It's not like a gz is a rare file format, it seems like a totally reasonable format to download something in.
