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:
