Release 0.42.0 of Spellcheck (GitHub) Action - yet another maintenance release

Yesterday I released version 0.42.0 of the GitHub Action for doing spelling checking of your documentation etc. for which I am the current maintainer.

Again the Python base-image was updated, so now we are pointing to:

  • 3.12.6

I can see that I forgot to write about some of the releases since 0.38.0.

There has been some interesting releases - well releases which was not just a bump of a base image.

0.41.0, 2024-08-12, maintenance release, update not required

0.40.0, 2024-07-18, maintenance release, update recommended

  • Minor error in the previous release, re-releasing as 0.40.0 see changes from 0.39.0 below

0.39.0, 2024-07-17, maintenance release, update recommended

  • PR from @snyk-bot #204 this updates the indirect Python dependency zipp from version 3.15.0 to 3.19.1 The dependency has a security flaw, please see below references.

Do note zipp is not a direct dependency, but it is a dependency of importlib-metadata, which is a dependency of pyspelling, which is the core component of this action.

By indicating is as a direct dependency of version 3.19.1, we can ensure that the action is not vulnerable, even though the vulnerability might not directly exploitable in the context of this action.

But now we are back on track with 0.42.0.

My build script took care of the entire process, well apart from updating the Wiki.

So I am one happy maintainer.

Bug reports, feature requests, PR are as always most welcome

The change log:

0.42.0, 2024-09-22, maintenance release, update not required
