 The cache backend service has been rewritten from the ground up for improved performance and reliability. [actions/cache](https://github.com/actions/cache) now integrates with the new cache service (v2) APIs.
 
 The new service will gradually roll out as of **February 1st, 2025**. The legacy service will also be sunset on the same date. Changes in these releases are **fully backward compatible**.

 If you are using a `self-hosted` Windows runner, `GNU tar` and `zstd` are required for [Cross-OS caching](https://github.com/actions/cache/blob/main/tips-and-workarounds.md#cross-os-cache) to work. They are also recommended to be installed in general so the performance is on par with `hosted` Windows runners.
