v2.9.0
Summary
This release updates the default lychee version from
v0.23.0tov0.24.2.The main reason for this release is compatibility with the new lychee
0.24.xrelease artifacts. Starting with lycheev0.24.0, the archive layout changed, and thelycheebinary may now be packaged inside a subdirectory.lychee-actionnow detects that layout automatically, so users can upgrade without changing their workflows.If you use:

v2tag has been updated. If you pin exact versions, update to:uses: lycheeverse/lychee-action@v2.9.0What’s new from lychee
v0.24.xBetter diagnostics
lychee now reports line and column numbers for detected links. This makes broken link reports easier to act on, especially in larger documentation sites or generated reports.
Text fragment checking
lychee can now check URL text fragments, such as links containing
#:~:text=.... This helps catch links that point to a valid page but no longer points to the intended highlighted text.Sitemap support
lychee can now read
sitemap.xmlinputs. This is useful for checking published websites or generated documentation sites where the sitemap is the easiest source of URLs to validate.JUnit output
lychee now supports JUnit output. This makes it easier to integrate link checking results with CI systems and test reporting tools that understand JUnit XML.
Redirect and remap visibility
lychee can now show redirects and remaps more clearly. This helps explain why a URL was checked as a different final URL and makes debugging link-checking behavior easier.
Multiple config files
lychee now supports multiple configuration files and expanded config handling. This is useful for repositories that split documentation, website, or package-specific link-checking settings.
Timeout handling
lychee can now accept timeouts explicitly. This gives users more control over how strict their link checks should be for flaky or slow endpoints.
