Dfx deploy gzip

Isn’t dfx suppose to use gzip per default for deployment purpose?

If yes, as of which version?
If no, there is an option to turn this on?

Ok, for some reason it is not the default. The option is called gzip.

"canisters": {
    "backend": {
      "type": "rust",
      "package": "backend",
      "candid": "src/backend/backend.did",
      "optimize": "cycles",
      "gzip": true
    }
  }
