GitHub Pages upload action updated to v5
The publish workflow has been updated to use actions/upload-pages-artifact@v5, pulling in the latest upload-artifact v7 dependency and a new option for including hidden files in deployment artifacts.
The publish workflow now uses version 5 of the GitHub Pages artifact upload action. This update bundles upload-artifact v7, which brings internal improvements to how artifacts are compressed and transferred. Version 5 also introduces an include-hidden-files input for cases where dotfiles need to be part of the deployment package.
One notable change in v4 was a shift in how hidden files are handled—dotfiles are no longer automatically included in artifacts. Projects that depend on hidden files in their deployment artifacts may need to explicitly opt in using the new input or adjust their build process accordingly.
This dependency bump lives in the GitHub Actions publish workflow at upload-pages-artifact and applies to teams deploying via GitHub Pages.
