GitHub's platform evolves fast — and your integrations depend on it

Between REST API versions, GraphQL schema previews graduating to GA, Actions runner image updates, and webhook event additions, GitHub ships changes constantly. If you maintain GitHub Apps, Actions, or API integrations, missing a change means broken workflows and frustrated developers.

GitHub removed a preview header we relied on for our PR review bot. No deprecation notice we could find — the GraphQL field just started returning null. Took us a full day to track down.

Breaking

REST API version 2025-11-28: Repository permissions endpoint response restructured

The GET /repos/{owner}/{repo}/collaborators/{username}/permission endpoint now returns a role_name field and the permission field is deprecated. Update integrations to use role_name.

- "permission": "admin"+ "role_name": "admin"+ "permission": "admin" // deprecated
Deprecation

Actions: save-state and set-output workflow commands will stop working 2026-06-01

The ::save-state and ::set-output workflow commands are deprecated. Use environment files ($GITHUB_STATE and $GITHUB_OUTPUT) instead.
