Update README.md by @nebuk89 in #407
BREAKING fix: inconsistent path behavior for single artifact downloads by ID by @GrantBirki in #416

v5.0.0

🚨 Breaking Change

This release fixes an inconsistency in path behavior for single artifact downloads by ID. If you're downloading single artifacts by ID, the output path may change.

What Changed

Previously, single artifact downloads behaved differently depending on how you specified the artifact:

By name: name: my-artifact → extracted to path/ (direct)
By ID: artifact-ids: 12345 → extracted to path/my-artifact/ (nested)

Now both methods are consistent:

By name: name: my-artifact → extracted to path/ (unchanged)
By ID: artifact-ids: 12345 → extracted to path/ (fixed - now direct)

Migration Guide

✅ No Action Needed If:

You download artifacts by name
You download multiple artifacts by ID
You already use merge-multiple: true as a workaround

⚠️ Action Required If:

You download single artifacts by ID and your workflows expect the nested directory structure.

Before v5 (nested structure):

- uses: actions/download-artifact@v4
  with:
    artifact-ids: 12345
    path: dist

### Files were in: dist/my-artifact/

Where my-artifact is the name of the artifact you previously uploaded

To maintain old behavior (if needed):

- uses: actions/download-artifact@v5
  with:
    artifact-ids: 12345
    path: dist/my-artifact  # Explicitly specify the nested path

`v4.6.0`: Add allow-prereleases input

Compare Source

In scope of this release we added a new input (allow-prereleases) to allow falling back to pre-release versions of Python when a matching GA version of Python is not available

steps:
  - uses: actions/checkout@v3
  - uses: actions/setup-python@v4
    with:
      python-version: 3.12
      allow-prereleases: true

Besides, we added such changes as:

Fix bug to trim new line for PyPy version: #610
Added pip dependency file to generate hash from it: #604
Improved error handling for saving and restoring cache: #618
Add warning if cache paths are empty: #642

`v4.5.0`: Fix cache issue for Poetry projects located in subfolders

In scope of this release we fixed cache issue for Poetry projects located in subfolders (#446). Besides that we updated json5 version from 2.2.0 to 2.2.3 (#579).

`v4.4.0`: Add support to install multiple python versions

Compare Source

In scope of this release we added support to install multiple python versions. For this you can try to use this snippet:

    - uses: actions/setup-python@v4
      with:
        python-version: |
            3.8
            3.9
            3.10

Besides, we changed logic with throwing the error for GHES if cache is unavailable to warn (#566).

`v4.3.1`: Improve error handling and messages

Improvement of documentation #477 #479 #491 #492

`v4.2.0`: Add check-latest input and bug fixes

Compare Source

In scope of this release we add the check-latest input. If check-latest is set to true, the action first checks if the cached version is the latest one. If the locally cached version is not the most up-to-date, the version will then be downloaded from python-versions repository. By default check-latest is set to false. For PyPy it will to try to reach https://downloads.python.org/pypy/versions.json

Example of usage:

steps:
  - uses: actions/checkout@v3
  - uses: actions/setup-python@v4
    with:
      python-version: '3.9'
      check-latest: true
  - run: python --version

Besides, it includes such changes as

Resolved logs for python-version and file inputs: #465
Added linux os release info to primary key: #467
Added fix to change Python versions for poetry: #445
Fix Tool Path handling for self-hosted runners: #466

`v4.1.0`

Compare Source

In scope of this pull request we updated actions/cache package as the new version contains fixes for caching error handling. Moreover, we added a new input update-environment. This option allows to specify if the action shall update environment variables
