self-extracting archives. These archives contain all the
files in the release and come in the form of a script that
will extract and run the release automatically.</p></div>
<div class="paragraph"><p>This allows you to package the release as a single file
that can then be executed.</p></div>
<div class="paragraph"><p>This feature is currently experimental. Feedback is much
appreciated.</p></div>
