Update actions/deploy-pages action to v5

Worth knowingtooling

What changed: The GitHub Actions deploy-pages action was updated from v4.0.5 to v5.0.0, including a Node.js 24.x runtime and several workflow improvements.
Production impact: The source does not say.
Try it: Update a GitHub Actions workflow to use actions/deploy-pages@v5 and observe the new behavior.
Source: github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/pull/3941

Understand it, then run it

The deploy-pages GitHub Action is the tool that pushes your site to GitHub Pages. It used to run on Node.js 20, but the new v5.0.0 version runs on Node.js 24.x. That means the action can use newer JavaScript features and has a faster runtime. The change also adds a workflow file that helps publish releases to an immutable action package, making it easier to keep the action versioned and reproducible.

// This program demonstrates that the Rust compiler (1.98.1, edition 2024)
// can be used to print a simple message. It does not involve the GitHub
// Actions change, which is unrelated to Rust code itself.

fn main() {
    println!("Hello, Rust 1.98.1!");
}

What it printed when we ran it on Rust 1.98.1 (edition 2024)

Hello, Rust 1.98.1!

Run sends this program (for Solidity, the contract and its tests) to our own sandbox, where it is compiled and run once, with no network, and what it printed or the test report comes back here. Nothing is kept. Runs are counted per visitor for the day so everyone gets a turn; the details are on the legal page.
