Thanks for the changes, they look good to me. I don't see any of the warnings anymore about Node 16.

I was just curious about us running on ubuntu-latest. Release date of 24.04 is today, doesn't look like it's changed yet, but do we expect that to switch over without issues? I guess we can handle that separately if something does go wrong.

Thanks for the review, @mikkamp

I was just curious about us running on ubuntu-latest. Release date of 24.04 is today, doesn't look like it's changed yet, but do we expect that to switch over without issues?

I think this is the expected way - these actions are continuously compatible with the ubuntu-latest in GitHub Actions Runner. Most of the actions depend on Node.js, PHP or the common CLI, so as long as these dependencies are consistently compatible with ubuntu-latest, there should be no problems.

I guess we can handle that separately if something does go wrong.

Yes, a few actions depend on more particular CLI, such as jq, or services that are more prone to major changes, such as MySQL. I suppose we could just deal with it when it happens.
