-## Updating from `v7` to `v8`
-
-### Behaviour changes
-
- If using self-hosted runners or GitHub Enterprise Server, there are minimum requirements for `v8` to run. See "What's new" below for details.
-
-### What's new
-
- Updated runtime to Node.js 24
-  - The action now requires a minimum version of [v2.327.1](https://github.com/actions/runner/releases/tag/v2.327.1) for the Actions runner. Update self-hosted runners to v2.327.1 or later to ensure compatibility.
