Which update stream formats to upload. One or more of ini, inibare or xml.
ARS supports two update formats, INI and XML. The INI format (deprecated) gives update information for exactly one release, the latest published one. The XML format is Joomla's XML extension update which includes the latest published versions which satisfy every combination of Joomla and PHP you have declared in your environments. It has additional information which convey the PHP compatibility which are not canonical to Joomla's XML update scheme (Joomla just ignores them).
The ini and inibare formats refer to ARS' INI format updates. The difference is the file extension. With inibare there is no file extension, just the base_name. With ini the file will have a .ini extension.
The xml format refers to ARS' XML update format. The uploaded file will have a .xml extension.
