v9.2.0

What's Changed

This release contains a new minor change related to the size of comments that can be posted on PRs. If the comment body (from a deployment) is too large, it will be truncated and collapsed inside of an expandable details block in markdown. This prevents the Action from failing if a comment is over the fixed size limit for GitHub issue comments.

This release also contains internal node package updates for npm packages that this Action relies on.

• Bump the github-actions group with 2 updates by @dependabot in #259
• handle messages that are bigger than issue body limit by @nodeselector in #266
• Bump GrantBirki/json-yaml-validate from 2.7.1 to 3.0.0 in the github-actions group by @dependabot in #264
• update all internal node packages by @GrantBirki in #268

v9.1.0

Overview

This release introduces a new input option called checks (thanks to @Ugzuzg! 🎉). The checks feature has been a long sought after feature of this Action to give teams better control over what CI checks have to be passing in order for a deployment to proceed. This feature was originally requested way back in 2022 and it has finally landed!

The detailed documentation around the checks input can be found here.

TL;DR: A new input option called checks allows for teams to choose whether they want all CI checks to pass before a deployment can proceed or if only the explicitly required CI checks need to be passing.

What's Changed

• Add checks mode input by @Ugzuzg in #241
• Bump the npm_and_yarn group across 1 directories with 1 update by @dependabot in #242
• node package updates by @GrantBirki in #243
• Checks input docs by @GrantBirki in #244

New Contributors

• @Ugzuzg made their first contribution in #241 🎉

v9.0.0

What's Changed

⚠️ potentially breaking change! ⚠️

The vast majority of teams should be able to upgrade to v9.0.0 without any issues

It should be noted that this change is only "breaking" in the sense that unexpected behavior may take place for teams using more unique git flows for development. If you want to maintain the current state of this Action on v9.0.0 and beyond, all you need to do is to simply set outdated_mode: "pr_base" in the Action configuration. Most teams using this Action will not notice any issues upgrading to v9.x.x.

---

This release introduces a new input option (outdated_mode) for fine grain control over deployments when a branch is deemed "out-of-date" 🎉. These changes were introduced in #237 and the aforementioned pull request contains a lot of information around these changes. You can also view the detailed documentation around this new input option to learn more and how you and your team can use it. Enjoy!

• Bump the github-actions group with 2 updates by @dependabot in #238
• Bump the npm-dependencies group with 5 updates by @dependabot in #239
• Update Base Branch Improvements by @GrantBirki in #237
• update all node deps by @GrantBirki in #240
