GitHub Actions Enforces Runner Version Requirements
GitHub is enforcing minimum version requirements for self-hosted runners on GitHub Actions, marking a significant step in their backend rearchitecture. This move aims to enhance reliability and performance, with the new system already handling over 120 million jobs daily. By early 2024, all runners must be on version 2.329.0 or later to register, and must update within 30 days of new releases to continue executing jobs. This ensures that outdated runners are phased out, maintaining the efficiency and security of the platform.
