v8.0.1

What's Changed

Full Changelog: actions/download-artifact@v8...v8.0.1

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

Full Changelog: actions/download-artifact@v7...v8.0.0

v7.0.0

v7 - What's new

[!IMPORTANT] actions/download-artifact@v7 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. 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.

What's Changed

• Update GHES guidance to include reference to Node 20 version by @​patrikpolyak in actions/download-artifact#440
• Download Artifact Node24 support by @​salmanmkc in actions/download-artifact#415
• fix: update @​actions/artifact to fix Node.js 24 punycode deprecation by @​salmanmkc in actions/download-artifact#451
• prepare release v7.0.0 for Node.js 24 support by @​salmanmkc in actions/download-artifact#452
