Symlinking by default would be nice. about zip-release

Hey @mcourteaux.
I am a little hesitant to make that a default behavior, so I encourage you to use the custom parameter instead that can be used to pass any additional arguments to the executed command.

Yeah, for me I was packaging a lot of *.so files double or tripple (just because of the way the symlinking with the version numbers works). I even tried --symlinks in custom, but it didn't work. Perhaps, the docker image has a zip-executable that doesn't have that function?

That's why I switched to .tar.gz for the linux release.

@mcourteaux you may try again with the --symlinks custom parameter as there was an issue with it for the zip command as that was also fixed in the latest release.

Aaah that most likely explains the behavior I observed! Good catch! To be honest, I don't have the need to test it again, but the code fix you linked will almost certainly make it work indeed. Thanks for looking into this!
