This updates several GitHub Actions to their latest versions.

Ignore the introduction of a dependabot.yml file. I have that pushed to my fork to create PRs since it had to be disabled on this mirror.

Bumps the github-actions group with 8 updates in the / directory:

Sourced from shivammathur/setup-php's releases.

2.37.0

Changelog

  • Updated the action to use Node.js 24. (#1049)

v7.0.0

v7 What's new

Direct Uploads

Adds support for uploading single files directly (unzipped). Callers can set the new archive parameter to false to skip zipping the file during upload. Right now, we only support single files. The action will fail if the glob passed resolves to multiple files. The name parameter is also ignored with this setting. Instead, the name of the artifact will be the name of the uploaded file.

ESM

To support new versions of the @actions/* packages, we've upgraded the package to ESM.

What's Changed

  • chore: Bump actions/cache from 4.2.4 to 5.0.3 by @​dependabot[bot] in ramsey/composer-install#278

    This necessitates a new major version because actions/cache v5 runs on the Node.js 24 runtime and requires a minimum Actions Runner version of 2.327.1. This is a breaking change for anyone using self-hosted runners.

How to prepare a release

[!NOTE]
Relevant for maintainers with write access only.

  1. Switch to a new branch from main.
  2. Run npm test to ensure all tests are passing.
  3. Update the version in https://github.com/actions/cache/blob/main/package.json.
  4. Run npm run build to update the compiled files.
  5. Update this https://github.com/actions/cache/blob/main/RELEASES.md with the new version and changes in the ## Changelog section.
  6. Run licensed cache to update the license report.
  7. Run licensed status and resolve any warnings by updating the https://github.com/actions/cache/blob/main/.licensed.yml file with the exceptions.
  8. Commit your changes and push your branch upstream.
  9. Open a pull request against main and get it reviewed and merged.
  10. Draft a new release https://github.com/actions/cache/releases use the same version number used in package.json
    1. Create a new tag with the version number.
    2. Auto generate release notes and update them to match the changes you made in RELEASES.md.
    3. Toggle the set as the latest release option.
    4. Publish the release.
  11. Navigate to https://github.com/actions/cache/actions/workflows/release-new-action-version.yml
    1. There should be a workflow run queued with the same version number.
    2. Approve the run to publish the new version and update the major tags for this action.

Updates actions/download-artifact from 7.0.0 to 8.0.1

Release notes

Sourced from actions/download-artifact's releases.

v8.0.1

What's Changed

Full Changelog: actions/download-artifact@v8...v8.0.1

v8.0.0

v8 - What's new

[!IMPORTANT] actions/download-artifact@v8 has been migrated to an ESM module. This should be transparent to the caller but forks might need to make significant changes.

[!IMPORTANT] Hash mismatches will now error by default. Users can override this behavior with a setting change (see below).

Direct downloads

To support direct uploads in actions/upload-artifact, the action will no longer attempt to unzip all downloaded files. Instead, the action checks the Content-Type header ahead of unzipping and skips non-zipped files. Callers wishing to download a zipped file as-is can also set the new skip-decompress parameter to true.

Enforced checks (breaking)

A previous release introduced digest checks on the download. If a download hash didn't match the expected hash from the server, the action would log a warning. Callers can now configure the behavior on mismatch with the digest-mismatch parameter. To be secure by default, we are now defaulting the behavior to error which will fail the workflow run.

ESM

To support new versions of the @actions/* packages, we've upgraded the package to ESM.

Slack GitHub Action v3.0.1

What's Changed

Alongside the breaking changes of @v3.0.0 and a new technique to run Slack CLI commands, we tried the wrong name to publish to the GitHub Marketplace 🐙 This action is now noted as The Slack GitHub Action in listings 🎶 ✨

🎨 Maintenance

Full Changelog: slackapi/slack-github-action@v3.0.0...v3.0.1

Slack GitHub Action v3.0.0

The @v3.0.0 release had a hiccup on publish and we recommend using @​v3.0.1 or a more recent version when updating! Oops!

🎽 Running Slack CLI commands and the active Node runtime, both included in this release 👟 ✨

⚠️ Breaking change: Node.js 24 the runtime

This major version updates the GitHub Actions required runtime to Node.js 24. Most GitHub-hosted runners already include this, but self-hosted runners may need to be updated ahead of planned deprecations of Node 20 on GitHub Actions runners.

📺 Enhancement: Run Slack CLI commands

This release introduces a new technique for running Slack CLI commands directly in GitHub Actions workflows. Use this to install the latest version (or a specific one) of the CLI and execute commands like deploy for merges to main, manifest validate with tests, and other commands.

Gather a token using the following CLI command to store with repo secrets, then get started with an example below:

$ slack auth token

🧪 Validate an app manifest on pull requests

Check that your app manifest is valid before merging changes:

🔗 https://docs.slack.dev/tools/slack-github-action/sending-techniques/running-slack-cli-commands/validate-a-manifest

- name: Validate the manifest
  uses: slackapi/slack-github-action/cli@v3.0.0
  with:
    command: "manifest validate --app ${{ vars.SLACK_APP_ID }}"
    token: ${{ secrets.SLACK_SERVICE_TOKEN }}

🚀 Deploy your app on push to main

Automate deployments whenever changes land on your main branch:
