Now ```tar.xz``` format is widely used, and the official arduino IDE download URL also shows that arduino uses ```tar.xz``` format. (https://downloads.arduino.cc/arduino-1.8.9-linux64.tar.xz). As we all know, the tar.xz format has the optimal size compared to tar, tar.gz, tar.bz2, and zip. (https://www.rootusers.com/gzip-vs-bzip2-vs-xz-performance-comparison/) Therefore, it is very unreasonable not to support tar.xz. Supporting this format can save almost half of the bandwidth resources and download time when compressing the gcc toolchain, making users more comfortable.

Arduino is an open-source physical computing platform based on a simple I/O board and a development environment that implements the Processing/Wiring language. Arduino can be used to develop stand-alone interactive objects or can be connected to software on your computer (e.g. Flash, Processing and MaxMSP). The boards can be assembled by hand or purchased preassembled; the open-source IDE can be downloaded for free at https://www.arduino.cc/en/Main/Software

For more information, see the website at: https://www.arduino.cc/ or the forums at: https://forum.arduino.cc/
You can also follow Arduino on Twitter at: https://twitter.com/arduino or like Arduino on Facebook at: https://www.facebook.com/official.arduino -
To report a bug in the software or to request a simple enhancement go to: https://github.com/arduino/Arduino/issues
-
More complex requests and technical discussion should go on the Arduino Developers mailing list: https://groups.google.com/a/arduino.cc/forum/#!forum/developers
-
If you're interested in modifying or extending the Arduino software, we strongly suggest discussing your ideas on the Developers mailing list before starting to work on them. That way you can coordinate with the Arduino Team and others, giving your work a higher chance of being integrated into the official release https://groups.google.com/a/arduino.cc/forum/#!forum/developers
