Update timeline

  1. identified Feb 17, 2022, 05:01 PM UTC

    We've noticed that scans running more than 3-4 minutes are failing in GitHub Actions. This appears to be due to GitHub's infrastructure killing longer running connections, and only appears in the latest HawkScan 2.1.0 version. Users can specify the prior version of HawkScan by specifying with.version: 2.0.0 in their GitHub Action workflow yaml. We are working on a fix for this issue, which should release shortly.

  2. monitoring Feb 17, 2022, 05:59 PM UTC

    A new version of HawkScan, version 2.1.1, has been released to address this issue, and we are monitoring the results. If you use GitHub Actions, any new scans will automatically use the new version. If you've added a specific version to your GitHub Action workflow yaml, you should remove it to enable the new version.
