Optimize for the `minimal` flavor As of git-for-windows/git-sdk-64#87, the `minimal` flavor is published as an asset of a rolling GitHub Release. This strikes a much better balance between generating and using the artifact; Now, it is generated exactly once when an update is available, and none of the users have to regenerate it. The consequence is that no longer does `setup-git-for-windows-sdk` take over a minute (uncached) to initialize the minimal Git for Windows SDK (and only subsequent, cached calls would get to the desirable 2-5 second range). Instead, the minimal Git for Windows SDK now consistently takes 2-5 seconds to initialize, no caching needed.
Lots of dependency updates & more stringent ci-artifacts query This version brings tons and tons of updated dependencies, and is a bit preciser when looking for the latest successful `ci-artifacts` run lest it finds an accidentally-pushed topic branch that is not `main`.
Really work around broken builds with GCC v14.1 A recent MSYS2 update upgraded GCC from v13.* to v14.*, for which Git's source code is not prepared. v1.10.1 already aimed to work around this, but only uncovered a long-standing bug preventing that work-around from working correctly. v1.10.2 fixes that.
The Action no longer automatically force-enables symbolic link support By mistake, a dependency of this Action defined `MSYS=winsymlinks:nativestrict`, intending to fix the caching/restoring but inadvertently causing a change in behavior of all workflows that use this Action. This was fixed in the dependency, and by upgrading to a newer version, the `setup-for-windows-sdk` Action is also fixed.
Add support for Windows/ARM64 With this release, the GitHub Action adds full support for Windows/ARM64. While previously only the `full` flavor was supported, now the `minimal`, `makepkg-git` and `build-installers` flavors are also supported. Note: As of time of writing, there is no support for hosted Windows/ARM64 runners, but it is possible to self-host such runners.
