v8 - What's new
Direct downloads
To support direct uploads in
actions/upload-artifact, the action will no longer attempt to unzip all downloaded files. Instead, the action checks theContent-Typeheader ahead of unzipping and skips non-zipped files. Callers wishing to download a zipped file as-is can also set the newskip-decompressparameter totrue.Enforced checks (breaking)
A previous release introduced digest checks on the download. If a download hash didn't match the expected hash from the server, the action would log a warning. Callers can now configure the behavior on mismatch with the
digest-mismatchparameter. To be secure by default, we are now defaulting the behavior toerrorwhich will fail the workflow run.ESM
To support new versions of the @actions/* packages, we've upgraded the package to ESM.

v9.0.0Compare Source
New features:
getOctokitfactory function — Available directly in the script context. Create additional authenticated Octokit clients with different tokens for multi-token workflows, GitHub App tokens, and cross-org access. See Creating additional clients withgetOctokitfor details and examples.ACTIONS_ORCHESTRATION_IDenvironment variable is automatically appended to the user-agent string for request tracing.Breaking changes:
require('@actions/github')no longer works in scripts. The upgrade to@actions/githubv9 (ESM-only) meansrequire('@actions/github')will fail at runtime. If you previously used patterns likeconst { getOctokit } = require('@actions/github')to create secondary clients, use the new injectedgetOctokitfunction instead — it's available directly in the script context with no imports needed.getOctokitis now an injected function parameter. Scripts that declareconst getOctokit = ...orlet getOctokit = ...will get aSyntaxErrorbecause JavaScript does not allowconst/letredeclaration of function parameters. Use the injectedgetOctokitdirectly, or usevar getOctokit = ...if you need to redeclare it.@actions/githubinternals beyond the standardgithub/octokitclient, you may need to update those references for v9 compatibility.What's Changed

v7 What's new
Direct Uploads
Adds support for uploading single files directly (unzipped). Callers can set the new
archiveparameter tofalseto skip zipping the file during upload. Right now, we only support single files. The action will fail if the glob passed resolves to multiple files. Thenameparameter is also ignored with this setting. Instead, the name of the artifact will be the name of the uploaded file.ESM
