I want to release the binary files without compression(tar.gz), can you add an option for disable compression?

@Deardrops Why without .tar.gz is useful? Any special use case?

@wangyoucao577 Sometimes I want to release a exe file for windows users. But they may have no compression software installed in their computer. If I share a download link with tar.gz for them, they will have no idea how to use the tar.gz file.

@Deardrops Do you think whether use .zip instead of .tar.gz can solve your problem? If raw .exe, many security softwares may alert issue, and will delete files silently...

@wangyoucao577 good idea!

@Deardrops One more question, what's your Go version? I may implement it in my project, but may not support too old Gos.

@wangyoucao577 go 1.11 when I open this issue, but I think my tiny project could upgrade to go1.14 successfully.

@Deardrops Good. I have implemented it. Please have a try my latest action https://github.com/marketplace/actions/go-release-binaries, it'll release .zip instead of .tar.gz for windows. If any problem please create issue for it directly.
Enjoy!
