files
input does not actually match what you expect #55 - Add
repository
input, useful for creating a release in an external repository #61 - Add release
id
to outputs, useful for refering to release in workflow steps following the step that uses this action #60 - Add
upload_url
as action output, useful for managing uploads separately #75 - Support custom
target_commitish
value, useful to customize the default #76 - fix
body_path

input. this was the originally documented precedence but was implemened the the opposite order! #85 - Retain original release info if the keys are not set, useful for filling in blanks for a release you've already started separately #109

GitHub's api doesn't explicitly have a way of fetching a draft release by tag name which caused draft releases to appear as separate releases when used in a build matrix. This is now fixed.
- Add support for newline-delimited asset list #18
GitHub actions inputs don't inherently support lists of things and one might like to append a list of files to include in a release. Previously this was possible using a comma-delimited list of asset path patterns to upload. You can now provide these as a newline delimieted list for better readability
- name: Release
uses: softprops/action-gh-release@v1
if: startsWith(github.ref, 'refs/tags/')
with:
files: |
filea.txt
fileb.txt
filec.txt
env:
GITHUB_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}
