Getting Started - FreeBSD Incorrect Download Path

On the release notes page, in the FreeBSD "getting started" section, it has a curl command for downloading the release. I've found that from the packaging code and the downloads below that, it should have a .zip extension rather than a .tar.gz extension. I looked for where that might be edited so I could send a PR but couldn't find it. Thanks!

Thanks for finding this! There's no PR needed. It's just a typo on the release page. I fixed it seconds ago.

Thank you!

BTW, is it standard to use tar.gz or .zip for FreeBSD?

I'd subjectively say .tar.gz.

After deeper review, for best use with FreeBSD, it'd be advisable to provide the FreeBSD binary bundle in tar.gz format rather than .zip. I can provide a PR if this is accepted as desired work. Thanks!

A PR would be great. Then I'll just repackage against v0.4 and update the release page.
