- Action is now stateful: If the action ends because of operations-per-run then the next run will start from the first unprocessed issue skipping the issues processed during the previous run(s). The state is reset when all the issues are processed. This should be considered for scheduling workflow runs.
- Version 9 of this action updated the runtime to Node.js 20. All scripts are now run with Node.js 20 instead of Node.js 16 and are affected by any breaking changes between Node.js 16 and 20.
- Performance optimization that removes unnecessary API calls by @dsame in #1033; fixes #792
- Logs displaying current GitHub API rate limit by @dsame in #1032; addresses #1029
For more information, please read the action documentation and its section about statefulness

4.1.0 (2021-07-14)
4.0.0 (2021-07-14)
- options: simplify config by removing skip stale message options (#457) (6ec637d), closes #405 #455
- output: print output parameters (#458) (3e6d35b)
- dry-run: forbid mutations in dry-run (#500) (f1017f3), closes #499
- logs: coloured logs (#465) (5fbbfba)
- operations: fail fast the current batch to respect the operations limit (#474) (5f6f311), closes #466
- label comparison: make label comparison case insensitive #517, closes #516
- filtering comments by actor could have strange behavior: "stale" comments are now detected based on if the message is the stale message not who made the comment(#519), fixes #441, #509, #518
- The options
skip-stale-issue-messageandskip-stale-pr-messagewere removed. Instead, setting the optionsstale-issue-messageandstale-pr-messagewill be enough to let the stale workflow add a comment. If the options are unset, a comment will not be added which was the equivalent of settingskip-stale-issue-messagetotrue. - The
operations-per-runoption will be more effective. After migrating, you could face a failed-fast process workflow if you let the default value (30) or set it to a small number. In that case, you will see a warning at the end of the logs (if enabled) indicating that the workflow was stopped sooner to avoid consuming too much API calls. In most cases, you can just increase this limit to make sure to process everything in a single run.
