Releases

4.3.0

  • Bump @actions/cache to v4.1.0

4.2.4

  • Bump @actions/cache to v4.0.5

4.2.3

  • Bump @actions/cache to v4.0.3 (obfuscates SAS token in debug logs for cache entries)

4.2.2

  • Bump @actions/cache to v4.0.2

4.2.1

  • Bump @actions/cache to v4.0.1

4.2.0

TLDR; The cache backend service has been rewritten from the ground up for improved performance and reliability. actions/cache now integrates with the new cache service (v2) APIs.

The new service will gradually roll out as of February 1st, 2025. The legacy service will also be sunset on the same date. Changes in these release are fully backward compatible.

We are deprecating some versions of this action. We recommend upgrading to version v4 or v3 as soon as possible before February 1st, 2025. (Upgrade instructions below).

If you are using pinned SHAs, please use the SHAs of versions v4.2.0 or v3.4.0

If you do not upgrade, all workflow runs using any of the deprecated actions/cache will fail.

Upgrading to the recommended versions will not break your workflows.

4.1.2

  • Add GitHub Enterprise Cloud instances hostname filters to inform API endpoint choices - #1474
  • Security fix: Bump braces from 3.0.2 to 3.0.3 - #1475

4.1.1

  • Restore original behavior of cache-hit output - #1467

4.1.0

  • Ensure cache-hit output is set when a cache is missed - #1404
  • Deprecate save-always input - #1452

4.30.7 - 06 Oct 2025

  • [v4+ only] The CodeQL Action now runs on Node.js v24. #3169

3.30.6 - 02 Oct 2025

  • Update default CodeQL bundle version to 2.23.2. #3168

3.30.5 - 26 Sep 2025

  • We fixed a bug that was introduced in 3.30.4 with upload-sarif which resulted in files without a .sarif extension not getting uploaded. #3160

3.30.4 - 25 Sep 2025

  • We have improved the CodeQL Action's ability to validate that the workflow it is used in does not use different versions of the CodeQL Action for different workflow steps. Mixing different versions of the CodeQL Action in the same workflow is unsupported and can lead to unpredictable results. A warning will now be emitted from the codeql-action/init step if different versions of the CodeQL Action are detected in the workflow file. Additionally, an error will now be thrown by the other CodeQL Action steps if they load a configuration file that was generated by a different version of the codeql-action/init step. #3099 and #3100
  • We added support for reducing the size of dependency caches for Java analyses, which will reduce cache usage and speed up workflows. This will be enabled automatically at a later time. #3107
  • You can now run the latest CodeQL nightly bundle by passing tools: nightly to the init action. In general, the nightly bundle is unstable and we only recommend running it when directed by GitHub staff. #3130
  • Update default CodeQL bundle version to 2.23.1. #3118

3.30.3 - 10 Sep 2025

No user facing changes.

3.30.2 - 09 Sep 2025

  • Fixed a bug which could cause language autodetection to fail. #3084
  • Experimental: The quality-queries input that was added in 3.29.2 as part of an internal experiment is now deprecated and will be removed in an upcoming version of the CodeQL Action. It has been superseded by a new analysis-kinds input, which is part of the same internal experiment. Do not use this in production as it is subject to change at any time. #3064

3.30.1 - 05 Sep 2025

  • Update default CodeQL bundle version to 2.23.0. #3077

3.30.0 - 01 Sep 2025

  • Reduce the size of the CodeQL Action, speeding up workflows by approximately 4 seconds. #3054

3.29.11 - 21 Aug 2025

This update, introduces automatic caching when a valid packageManager field is present in your package.json. This aims to improve workflow performance and make dependency management more seamless. To disable this automatic caching, set package-manager-cache: false

steps:
- uses: actions/checkout@v5
- uses: actions/setup-node@v5
  with:
    package-manager-cache: false

Make sure your runner is on version v2.327.1 or later to ensure compatibility with this release. See Release Notes
