When the action can't download mise, the log now shows the HTTP status and host for each failed attempt. Retries wait longer between attempts, so a short GitHub outage is less likely to fail the job.

Fixed

  • Download failures now show what went wrong, and brief outages are retried for longer. Before this release, a failed mise download logged only The process '/usr/bin/curl' failed with exit code 22 and retried five times with a fixed 2-second wait. From that message you couldn't tell a rate limit from a missing asset or a server error. Each failed attempt now logs the HTTP status and the host that answered:

    Download attempt 1/6 failed: Could not download github.com/…/mise-v2026.10.21-linux-x64.tar.zst (HTTP 503 from github.com). Retrying in 3.4 seconds.
    

    The wait between attempts doubles from about 2s up to a 30s cap, with random jitter, so the five retries cover roughly a minute. Only transient failures are retried: connection errors and timeouts, and HTTP 408, 429 and 5xx responses. A 404, any other 4xx, or a local file-write error fails at once. The log shows only the host and file name of each URL, never signed query strings or curl/wget stderr. Partial files are deleted before the next attempt. wget now runs with --tries=1, so its own 20-retry default no longer stacks on top of the action's retries. This applies to every download the action makes: the release archive, checksums and the packslip bundle. Checksum and signature verification are unchanged, and there are no new inputs.

Changed

  • packslip, which the action uses to verify downloaded mise releases, is updated from 1.11.0 to 1.11.2. This version includes upstream hardening of its verifier checks. (#726)
