On September 30, 2019, GitHub Actions will stop running workflows written in HCL. You’ll need to migrate your HCL workflows to the new YAML syntax using the migration script.
Improvements to GitHub Actions
GitHub Actions runner has been updated to version 2.158.0 with the following improvements:
- Support for Alpine based containers in
job.<job id>.containerandjob.<job id>.services. - Stop overriding the working directory for
job.<job id>.servicescontainers. - Fixed a bug where the runner would prefer a
Dockerfileeven ifactions.ymlis present. - The
add-maskandset-secretcommands are now supported. These enable actions to register additional masking patterns with the runner for log redaction.
GitHub now supports the WebAuthn standard for authentication. A broad array of security keys can be used across most major browsers (Apple will add support in Fall 2019). The following is supported: external hardware security keys, Android phones, Chrome with TouchID, iOS Brave with the Yubico 5Ci key, facial recognition or PIN with Windows Hello, as well as any new authenticators platform owners release in the future. No additional action is required for users with existing U2F hardware security keys.
