v1.8.0

[webknjaz]

DO NOT USE THIS VERSION, UPDATE TO v1.8.1

The Coolest Release Ever!

In this release, @woodruffw implemented support for secretless OIDC-based publishing to PyPI-like package indexes. The OIDC flow is activated when neither username nor password action inputs are set.

The OIDC “token exchange”, is an authentication technique that PyPI (and TestPyPI, and hopefully some future others) supports as an alternative to long-lived username/password combinations or long-lived API tokens.

IMPORTANT: The PyPI-side configuration is only available to participants of the private beta test. Please, only try out the zero-config mode if you are a beta test participant having followed the PyPI configuration instructions.
It's gone GA during Python 2023 and is available to everyone now.

Setup prerequisites: https://github.com/marketplace/actions/pypi-publish#trusted-publishing
PyPI's documentation: https://pypi.org/help/#trusted-publishers
Beta test enrollment: pypi/warehouse#12965
