On December 6, 2025, we released version 1.2.0 of jwt-bearer-token-vendor. This is a maintenance release dedicated to the health and sustainability of the project’s build pipeline and development ecosystem.

What’s new

While this release doesn’t introduce new functional features, it brings several important under-the-hood updates to keep the project running smoothly:

  • Modernized CI/CD Pipeline: We’ve upgraded several core GitHub Actions, including actions/checkout, actions/setup-node, and actions/upload-artifact to their latest versions.
  • Tooling Enhancements: The build process has been updated with the latest version of @vercel/ncc and @actions/http-client, ensuring our bundled output is optimized and up-to-date.
  • Documentation Polish: A small but helpful fix was applied to the license badge image in our README to ensure it displays correctly.

Why it matters

Maintenance releases are the unsung heroes of software stability. By proactively updating our dependencies and build tools, we ensure that jwt-bearer-token-vendor remains compatible with the latest GitHub Actions environment and continues to provide a secure and reliable way to obtain OAuth 2.0 tokens. Keeping our tooling current reduces technical debt and allows us to integrate new improvements more easily in the future.

Upgrade and Installation

There is no action required for most users. If you are referencing the action using the @v1 tag in your workflow files, you will automatically receive these updates.

To explicitly use this version, you can update your workflow to: uses: UnitVectorY-Labs/jwt-bearer-token-vendor@v1.2.0
