GitHub Changelog

GitHub Actions now supports uploading and downloading non-zipped artifacts in workflows. Previously, all artifacts uploaded via `actions/upload-artifact` were automatically compressed. The new feature, available in `actions/upload-artifact` v7 with the `archive` parameter set to `false`, resolves three pain points: no need to unzip single files downloaded from the browser, ability to view files natively in the browser (images, HTML, markdown), and elimination of the double-zip problem for already-compressed files. Downloading unzipped artifacts also requires updating to `actions/download-artifact` v8. The default remains `true` for backwards compatibility.
