Release Notes

5.0.2

• Fixes a regression that was introduced in version 5.0.0 by which skipped jobs were marked as failed instead. The workaround is to change the job log level to debug [log].job_level: debug.

5.0.1

• 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.

5.0.0

• Breaking change: the default configuration for docker_host is changed to not mounting the docker server socket even when no configuration file is provided.
• Add job_level logging option to config 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. This reduces the default amount of log output of the runner.

4.0.1

• Do not panic when the number of arguments of a function evaluated in an expression is incorect.

4.0.0

• Breaking change: fix the default configuration for docker_host is changed to not mounting the docker server socket.
• Remove debug information from the setup of a workflow.
• Fix crash in some cases when the YAML structure is not as expected.

3.5.1

• Fix CVE-2024-24557
• Add report_interval option to config to allow setting the interval of status and log reports

3.5.0

• Allow graceful shutdowns: when receiving a signal (INT or TERM) wait for running jobs to complete (up to shutdown_timeout).
• Fix label declaration: Runner in daemon mode now takes labels found in config.yml into account when declaration was successful.
• Fix the docker compose example to workaround the race on labels.
• Fix the kubernetes dind example.
• Rewrite ::group:: and ::endgroup:: commands like github.
• Added opencontainers labels to the image
• Upgrade the default container to node:20

3.4.1

• Fixes a regression introduced in 3.4.0 by which a job with no image explicitly set would be bound to the host network instead of a custom network (empty string in the configuration file).

3.4.0

Although this version is able to run actions/upload-artifact@v4 and actions/download-artifact@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:

• https://code.forgejo.org/forgejo/upload-artifact/src/tag/v4
• https://code.forgejo.org/forgejo/download-artifact/src/tag/v4

and they can be used as shown in an example from the end-to-end test suite.

• When running against codeberg.org, the default poll frequency is 30s instead of 2s.
• Fix compatibility issue with actions/{upload,download}-artifact@v4.
• Upgrade ACT v1.20.0 which brings:
  • [container].options from the config file is exposed in containers created by the workflows
  • the expressions in the value of jobs.<job-id>.runs-on are evaluated
  • fix a bug causing the evaluated expression of jobs.<job-id>.runs-on to fail if it was an array
  • mount act-toolcache:/opt/hostedtoolcache instead of act-toolcache:/toolcache
  • a few improvements to the readability of the error messages displayed in the logs
  • amd64 can be used instead of x86_64 and arm64 intead of aarch64 when specifying the architecture
  • fixed YAML parsing bugs preventing dispatch workflows to be parsed correctly
  • add support for runs-on.labels which is equivalent to runs-on followed by a list of labels
  • the expressions in the service ports and volumes values are evaluated
  • network aliases are only supported when the network is user specified, not when it is provided by the runner
• If [runner].insecure is true in the configuration, insecure cloning actions is allowed

3.3.0

• Support IPv6 with addresses from a private range and NAT for docker:// with --enable-ipv6 and [container].enable_ipv6 lxc:// always

3.2.0

• Support LXC container capabilities via lxc:lxc://debian:bookworm:k8s or lxc:lxc://debian:bookworm:docker lxc k8s
• Update ACT v1.16.0 to resolve a race condition when bootstraping LXC templates

3.1.0

The self-hosted label that was hardwired to be a LXC container running debian:bullseye was reworked and documented (user guide and admin guide).

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 to implement both self-hosted and LXC schemes

3.0.3

• Update code.forgejo.org/forgejo/act v1.13.0 to keep up with github.com/nektos/act

3.0.2

• Update code.forgejo.org/forgejo/act v1.12.0 to upgrade the node installed in the LXC container to node20

3.0.1

• Update code.forgejo.org/forgejo/act v1.11.0 to resolve a bug preventing actions based on node20 from running, such as checkout@v4.

3.0.0

• Publish a rootless OCI image
• Refactor the release process

2.5.0

• Update code.forgejo.org/forgejo/act v1.10.0

2.4.0

• Update code.forgejo.org/forgejo/act v1.9.0

2.3.0
