Release notes

Changes in v44.0.0

🔥🔥 BREAKING CHANGE 🔥🔥

Overview

We’ve made a significant update to how pull requests (PRs) from forked repositories are processed. This improvement not only streamlines the handling of such PRs but also fixes a previously identified issue.

Before the Change

Previously, when you created a pull request from a forked repository, any files changed in the target branch after the PR creation would erroneously appear as part of the PR’s changed files. This made it difficult to distinguish between the actual changes introduced by the PR and subsequent changes made directly to the target branch.

What Has Changed

With this update, a pull request from a fork will now only include the files that were explicitly changed in the fork. This ensures that the list of changed files in a PR accurately reflects the contributions from the fork, without being muddled by unrelated changes to the target branch.

Important Note for Users

To take advantage of this new behaviour, it’s necessary to specify the fork repository explicitly when performing the checkout step in your workflows. Below is an example configuration that demonstrates how to do this:

- uses: actions/checkout@v4
  with:
    repository: ${{ github.event.pull_request.head.repo.full_name }}

This modification ensures that your workflows correctly identify and interact with the source repository for PRs originating from forks.
