馃殌 Announcing v36: Major Performance Improvements and Enhanced Functionality!

We're thrilled to announce the release of v36! This new version brings a lot of exciting improvements and sets the stage for even more progress in the future.

We've made a major upgrade from a composite action to a javascript action, which brings a number of benefits, including:

  • Performance improvements: We've made significant enhancements to glob filtering which resulted in over 60% faster execution times, with more improvements on the horizon.
  • Verbose logging: We now provide detailed logs to help you better understand what's happening behind the scenes.
  • Clean abstractions/maintainability: Our new architecture is more modular and easier to maintain.
  • Reduced complexity: All functionality is now managed in this project, making it easier for you to use and understand.
  • Improved output file storage: We've made it easier to store output files for further processing.
  • Globstar patterns now work as expected **.js would match all .js files

And that's just the beginning! We've also made some important changes to our inputs and outputs:

馃敟馃敟 BREAKING CHANGES 馃敟 馃敟

Inputs

  • json_raw_format: We've changed this input to escape_json, which returns unescaped values when set to false.
  • match_directories: We've removed this input, but you can still get matching directories by setting dir_names to true.
  • diff_relative: This input now has a default value of true.
  • files_from_source_file_separator: We've added this input to enable using a custom separator to split filenames passed via the files_from_source_file input.
  • files_ignore_from_source_file_separator: We've also added this input with a similar use case for the files_ignore_from_source_file input.

Outputs

  • any_(changed|modified|deleted): This output now always returns either a true or false as opposed to an empty string when there are no patterns.
  • only_(changed|modified|deleted): Similar changes also apply here, which now return either a true or false.

Versioning

  • The [...]-sec tags will no longer be created going forward, with the introduction of this new design.

We're excited about all of these changes and can't wait for you to try them out. As always, if you have any questions or feedback, please don't hesitate to reach out!
