A single-fix patch release that corrects the standalone installer's zstd archive selection logic on systems where the zstd binary is not installed.
Fixed
- Standalone installer no longer selects zstd archives when
zstdis not installed -- Thetar_supports_zstd()function returnedtruefor GNU tar >= 1.31 regardless of whether thezstdbinary was actually present on the system. Since GNU tar shells out tozstdrather than linking against it, this caused extraction to fail. The fix checks for thezstdbinary upfront before evaluating the tar version. A separate fallback branch inget_ext()that could also select a.tar.zstarchive without verifying zstd availability has been removed. #8460 by @octo
