With the recent improvements made to the cache action, we'll be releasing a V2 version of this action.
What's New
- Added support for multiple paths (https://github.com/actions/cache/issues/16), glob patterns, and single file caches (https://github.com/actions/cache/issues/33)
- Increased performance and improved cache sizes using
zstd for compression (https://github.com/actions/cache/issues/184). (Off for windows-latest hosted runner)
- Allowed caching for all events with a ref (https://github.com/actions/cache/issues/63)
- Created the
@actions/cache npm package to allow other actions to utilize caching (https://github.com/actions/cache/issues/55)
