GitHub Actions Breaking Change: Python 2 being removed from all virtual environments

Starting April 6, 2020, Python 2 will no longer be offered on any hosted virtual environments. Python 2 was sunset on January 1, 2020 and is not being improved or taking security fixes.

If you're using setup-python, please update your workflows to use Python versions 3.x.

steps:
- uses: actions/checkout@v2
- uses: actions/setup-python@v1
  with:
    python-version: '3.x' # Version range or exact version of a Python version to use, using SemVer's version range syntax
    architecture: 'x64' # optional x64 or x86. Defaults to x64 if not specified
- run: python my_script.py

For the latest updates, be sure to subscribe to the announcement in the actions/virtual-environments repository.

Multi-line code suggestions beta

Since shipping multi-line comments, many people have requested multi-line code suggestions as well.

You can now suggest a specific change to multiple lines of code when reviewing a pull request. To select a multi-line code block, you can either:

  • click and hold to the right of a line number, drag and then release the mouse when you’ve reached the last line of the desired selection; or
  • click on a line number, hold Shift, click on a second line number and click the "+" button to the right of the second line number.

Once you've selected the code block, click the diff icon and edit the text within the suggestion block.

A new interaction for multi-line pull request comments

Since shipping multi-line comments back in October, we've heard feedback that many people expected selecting a range of lines and then clicking the "+" button would also create a multi-line comment. Today, you can do just that.

To leave a comment referencing multiple lines, you can either:

  • click on a line number in the diff view, hold Shift, click on a second line number and click the "+" button next to the second line number; or
  • click and hold to the right of a line number, drag and then release the mouse when you’ve reached the desired line.
