     - Re-implement zip support using native zipfile module.
 notes:
     - Requires C(zipinfo) and C(gtar)/C(unzip) command on target host.
-    - Can handle I(.zip) files using C(unzip) as well as I(.tar), I(.tar.gz), I(.tar.bz2) and I(.tar.xz) files using C(gtar).
-    - Does not handle I(.gz) files, I(.bz2) files or I(.xz) files that do not contain a I(.tar) archive.
+    - Requires C(zstd) command on target host to expand I(.tar.zst) files.
+    - Can handle I(.zip) files using C(unzip) as well as I(.tar), I(.tar.gz), I(.tar.bz2), I(.tar.xz), and I(.tar.zst) files using C(gtar).
+    - Does not handle I(.gz) files, I(.bz2) files, I(.xz), or I(.zst) files that do not contain a I(.tar) archive.
     - Uses gtar's C(--diff) arg to calculate if changed or not. If this C(arg) is not
       supported, it will always unpack the archive.
     - Existing files/directories in the destination which are not in the archive
