What's new in v13

Lua 5.5 support

  • New 5.5 version alias pointing to Lua 5.5.0 (released 2025-12-15)
  • Default luaVersion is now 5.5 (previously 5.4)

ESM migration

main.js has been converted to ES modules to match the latest @actions/* toolkit packages, which went ESM-only in their most recent majors. No user-facing behavior change — same action API, same inputs.

Dependency upgrades

Package Before After
@actions/core 1.11.1 3.0.1
@actions/cache 4.1.0 6.0.0
@actions/exec 1.1.1 3.0.0
@actions/io 1.1.3 3.0.2
@actions/tool-cache 2.0.2 4.0.0

Release tarballs refreshed

  • New: 5.5.0.tar.gz
  • 5.3.6.tar.gz replaces 5.3.5.tar.gz
  • 5.4.8.tar.gz replaces 5.4.1.tar.gz

README / example updates

The example snippets now use:

  • actions/checkout@v6 (was @master / @v4) — silences the Node.js 20 deprecation warning
  • step-security/msvc-dev-cmd@v1 in place of ilammy/msvc-dev-cmd@v1 — same input surface, runs on Node.js 24, actively maintained
