v7.0.0

v7 What's new

Direct Uploads

Adds support for uploading single files directly (unzipped). Callers can set the new archive parameter to false to 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. The name parameter is also ignored with this setting. Instead, the name of the artifact will be the name of the uploaded file.

ESM

To support new versions of the @actions/* packages, we've upgraded the package to ESM.

• Add proxy integration test by @​Link- in actions/upload-artifact#754
• Upgrade the module to ESM and bump dependencies by @​danwkennedy in actions/upload-artifact#762

v6.0.0

v6 - What's new

[!IMPORTANT] actions/upload-artifact@v6 now runs on Node.js 24 (runs.using: node24) and requires a minimum Actions Runner version of 2.327.1. If you are using self-hosted runners, ensure they are updated before upgrading.

Node.js 24

This release updates the runtime to Node.js 24. v5 had preliminary support for Node.js 24, however this action was by default still running on Node.js 20. Now this action by default will run on Node.js 24.

v8.0.0

v8 - What's new

[!IMPORTANT] actions/download-artifact@v8 has been migrated to an ESM module. This should be transparent to the caller but forks might need to make significant changes.

[!IMPORTANT] Hash mismatches will now error by default. Users can override this behavior with a setting change (see below).

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 the Content-Type header ahead of unzipping and skips non-zipped files. Callers wishing to download a zipped file as-is can also set the new skip-decompress parameter to true.

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-mismatch parameter. To be secure by default, we are now defaulting the behavior to error which will fail the workflow run.

ESM

To support new versions of the @actions/* packages, we've upgraded the package to ESM.

What's Changed

• Don't attempt to un-zip non-zipped downloads by @​danwkennedy in actions/download-artifact#460
• Add a setting to specify what to do on hash mismatch and default it to error by @​danwkennedy in actions/download-artifact#461

Node.js 24

This release updates the runtime to Node.js 24. v6 had preliminary support for Node 24, however this action was by default still running on Node.js 20. Now this action by default will run on Node.js 24.

v3.0.0

3.0.0 is a major release that moves the action runtime from Node 20 to Node 24. Use v3 on GitHub-hosted runners and self-hosted fleets that already support the Node 24 Actions runtime. If you still need the last Node 20-compatible line, stay on v2.6.2.

What's Changed

Other Changes 🔄

• Move the action runtime and bundle target to Node 24
• Update @types/node to the Node 24 line and allow future Dependabot updates
• Keep the floating major tag on v3; v2 remains pinned to the latest 2.x release

v2.6.2

Full Changelog: softprops/action-gh-release@v2...v2.6.2

v2.6.1

2.6.1 is a patch release focused on restoring linked discussion thread creation when discussion_category_name is set. It fixes [#764](https://github.com/softprops/action-gh-release/issues/764), where the draft-first publish flow stopped carrying the discussion category through the final publish step.

If you still hit an issue after upgrading, please open a report with the bug template and include a minimal repro or sanitized workflow snippet where possible.

What's Changed

Bug fixes 🐛

• fix: preserve discussion category on publish by @​chenrui333 in softprops/action-gh-release#765

v2.6.0

2.6.0 is a minor release centered on previous_tag support for generate_release_notes, which lets workflows pin GitHub's comparison base explicitly instead of relying on the default range. It also includes the recent concurrent asset upload recovery fix, a working_directory docs sync, a checked-bundle freshness guard for maintainers, and clearer immutable-prerelease guidance where GitHub platform behavior imposes constraints on how prerelease asset uploads can be published.

If you still hit an issue after upgrading, please open a report with the bug template and include a minimal repro or sanitized workflow snippet where possible.
