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.

What's Changed

• Add proxy integration test by @​Link- in #​754
• Upgrade the module to ESM and bump dependencies by @​danwkennedy in #​762
• Support direct file uploads by @​danwkennedy in #​764

• @​Link- made their first contribution in #​754

v3.0.0

Compare Source

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

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

v2.6.1

Compare Source

2.6.1 is a patch release focused on restoring linked discussion thread creation when
discussion_category_name is set. It fixes #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 #​765

v2.6.0

Compare Source

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.

What's Changed

Exciting New Features 🎉

• feat: support previous_tag for generate_release_notes by @​pocesar in #​372

v2.5.3

Compare Source

2.5.3 is a patch release focused on the remaining path-handling and release-selection bugs uncovered after 2.5.2.
It fixes #639, #571, #280, #614, #311, #403, and #368.
It also adds documentation clarifications for #541, #645, #542, #393, and #411,
where the current behavior is either usage-sensitive or constrained by GitHub platform limits rather than an action-side runtime bug.

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.

It fixes #705, fixes #708, fixes #740, fixes #741, and fixes #722.

same-filename concurrent uploads, and blocked-tag cleanup behavior.
