* [Fixes a regression](https://code.forgejo.org/forgejo/runner/pulls/354) that was introduced in version 5.0.0 by which it was no longer possible to mount the docker socket in each container by specifying `[container].docker_host = ""`. This is now implemented when `[container].docker_host = "automount"` is specified.
* Fixes a regression that was introduced in version 5.0.0 by which [skipped jobs were marked as failed instead](https://code.forgejo.org/forgejo/act/pulls/67). The workaround is to change the job log level to debug `[log].job_level: debug`.
* Security: the `/opt/hostedtoolcache` directory is now unique to each job instead of being shared to avoid a risk of corruption. It is still advertised in the `RUNNER_TOOL_CACHE` environment variable. Custom container images can be built to pre-populate this directory with frequently used tools and some actions (such as `setup-go`) will benefit from that.
* Breaking change: the default configuration for `docker_host` is changed to [not mounting the docker server socket](https://code.forgejo.org/forgejo/runner/pulls/305) even when no configuration file is provided.
* [Add job_level logging option to config](https://code.forgejo.org/forgejo/runner/pulls/299) to make the logging level of jobs configurable. Change default from "trace" to "info".
* [Don't log job output when debug logging is not enabled](https://code.forgejo.org/forgejo/runner/pulls/303). This reduces the default amount of log output of the runner.
* Do not panic when [the number of arguments of a function evaluated in an expression is incorect](https://code.forgejo.org/forgejo/act/pulls/59/files).
* Breaking change: fix the default configuration for `docker_host` is changed to [not mounting the docker server socket](https://code.forgejo.org/forgejo/runner/pulls/305).
* [Remove debug information from the setup of a workflow](https://code.forgejo.org/forgejo/runner/pulls/297).
* [Allow graceful shutdowns](https://code.forgejo.org/forgejo/runner/pulls/202): when receiving a signal (INT or TERM) wait for running jobs to complete (up to shutdown_timeout).
* [Fix label declaration](https://code.forgejo.org/forgejo/runner/pulls/176): Runner in daemon mode now takes labels found in config.yml into account when declaration was successful.
* [Fix the docker compose example](https://code.forgejo.org/forgejo/runner/pulls/175) to workaround the race on labels.
* [Fix the kubernetes dind example](https://code.forgejo.org/forgejo/runner/pulls/169).
Although this version is able to run [actions/upload-artifact@v4](https://code.forgejo.org/actions/upload-artifact/src/tag/v4) and [actions/download-artifact@v4](https://code.forgejo.org/actions/download-artifact/src/tag/v4), these actions will fail because it does not run against GitHub.com. A fork of those two actions with this check disabled is made available at:
and they can be used as shown in [an example from the end-to-end test suite](https://code.forgejo.org/forgejo/end-to-end/src/branch/main/actions/example-artifacts-v4/.forgejo/workflows/test.yml).
The `self-hosted` label that was hardwired to be a LXC container
running `debian:bullseye` was reworked and documented ([user guide](https://forgejo.org/docs/next/user/actions/#jobsjob_idruns-on) and [admin guide](https://forgejo.org/docs/next/admin/actions/#labels-and-runs-on)).
There now are two different schemes: `lxc://` for LXC containers and
`host://` for running directly on the host.
* Support the `host://` scheme for running directly on the host.
* Support the `lxc://` scheme in labels
* Update [code.forgejo.org/forgejo/act v1.14.0](https://code.forgejo.org/forgejo/act/pulls/19) to implement both self-hosted and LXC schemes
* Update [code.forgejo.org/forgejo/act v1.12.0](https://code.forgejo.org/forgejo/runner/pulls/106) to upgrade the node installed in the LXC container to node20
* Update [code.forgejo.org/forgejo/act v1.11.0](https://code.forgejo.org/forgejo/runner/pulls/86) to resolve a bug preventing actions based on node20 from running, such as [checkout@v4](https://code.forgejo.org/actions/checkout/src/tag/v4).
