### [`v8.0.1`](https://redirect.github.com/actions/download-artifact/releases/tag/v8.0.1)
[Compare Source](https://redirect.github.com/actions/download-artifact/compare/v8...v8.0.1)
#### What's Changed
- Support for CJK characters in the artifact name by [@​danwkennedy](https://redirect.github.com/danwkennedy) in [#​471](https://redirect.github.com/actions/download-artifact/pull/471)
- Add a regression test for artifact name + content-type mismatches by [@​danwkennedy](https://redirect.github.com/danwkennedy) in [#​472](https://redirect.github.com/actions/download-artifact/pull/472)
**Full Changelog**: <https://github.com/actions/download-artifact/compare/v8...v8.0.1>
### [`v8.0.0`](https://redirect.github.com/actions/download-artifact/releases/tag/v8.0.0)
[Compare Source](https://redirect.github.com/actions/download-artifact/compare/v8...v8)
#### v8 - What's new
> \[!IMPORTANT]
> actions/download-artifact\@​v8 has been migrated to an ESM module. This should be transparent to the caller but forks might need to make significant changes.
> \[!IMPORTANT]
> Hash mismatches will now error by default. Users can override this behavior with a setting change (see below).
##### Direct downloads
To support direct uploads in `actions/upload-artifact`, the action will no longer attempt to unzip all downloaded files. Instead, the action checks the `Content-Type` header ahead of unzipping and skips non-zipped files. Callers wishing to download a zipped file as-is can also set the new `skip-decompress` parameter to `true`.
##### Enforced checks (breaking)
A previous release introduced digest checks on the download. If a download hash didn't match the expected hash from the server, the action would log a warning. Callers can now configure the behavior on mismatch with the `digest-mismatch` parameter. To be secure by default, we are now defaulting the behavior to `error` which will fail the workflow run.
##### ESM
To support new versions of the @​actions/\* packages, we've upgraded the package to ESM.
#### What's Changed
- Don't attempt to un-zip non-zipped downloads by [@​danwkennedy](https://redirect.github.com/danwkennedy) in [#​460](https://redirect.github.com/actions/download-artifact/pull/460)
- Add a setting to specify what to do on hash mismatch and default it to `error` by [@​danwkennedy](https://redirect.github.com/danwkennedy) in [#​461](https://redirect.github.com/actions/download-artifact/pull/461)

#### v7 - What's new
> \[!IMPORTANT]
> actions/download-artifact\@​v7 now runs on Node.js 24 (`runs.using: node24`) and requires a minimum Actions Runner version of 2.327.1. If you are using self-hosted runners, ensure they are updated before upgrading.
##### Node.js 24
This release updates the runtime to Node.js 24. v6 had preliminary support for Node 24, however this action was by default still running on Node.js 20. Now this action by default will run on Node.js 24.
#### What's Changed
