⚠️ Important Changes

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.

`v3.0.7`

Fix for the download stuck problem has been added in actions/cache for users who were intermittently facing the issue. As part of this fix, new timeout has been introduced in the download step to stop the download if it doesn't complete within an hour and run the rest of the workflow without erroring out.

Full Changelog: actions/cache@v3...v3.0.6

`v3.0.5`

Compare Source

Removed error handling by consuming actions/cache 3.0 toolkit, Now cache server error handling will be done by toolkit.

`v3.0.4`

Compare Source

In this release, we have fixed the tar creation error while trying to create it with path as ~/ home folder on ubuntu-latest.

`v3.0.3`

Compare Source

Fixed avoiding empty cache save when no files are available for caching. (#624)

`v3.0.2`

Compare Source

This release adds the support for dynamic cache size cap on GHES.

`v3.0.1`

Compare Source

Added support for caching from GHES 3.5.
Fixed download issue for files > 2GB during restore.

`v3.0.0`

Compare Source

This change adds a minimum runner version(node12 -> node16), which can break users using an out-of-date/fork of the runner. This would be most commonly affecting users on GHES 3.3 or before, as those runners do not support node16 actions and they can use actions from github.com via github connect or manually copying the repo to their GHES instance.
Few dependencies and cache action usage examples have also been updated.

`v2.1.8`: Updating actions/core to version 1.10.0

Compare Source

The ::save-state and ::set-output are deprecated. The newer version of actions/core >1.10.0 uses the new syntax for save and set output. After this change, customers using actions/cache@v2 won't see deprecation warning message.

`v2.1.7`

Compare Source

Support 10GB cache upload using the latest version 1.0.8 of @actions/cache
