# @actions/cache Releases

### 4.0.0

#### Important changes

The cache backend service has been rewritten from the ground up for improved performance and reliability. The [@actions/cache](https://github.com/actions/toolkit/tree/main/packages/cache) package 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 this release are **fully backward compatible**.

**All previous versions of this package will be deprecated**. We recommend upgrading to version `4.0.0` as soon as possible before **February 1st, 2025.**

If you do not upgrade, all workflow runs using any of the deprecated [@actions/cache](https://github.com/actions/toolkit/tree/main/packages/cache) packages will fail.

Upgrading to the recommended version should not break or require any changes to your workflows beyond updating your `package.json` to version `4.0.0`.
