The V3 edition of the action offers:
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
- Adds `GOBIN` to the `PATH`
 | 
			
		||||
- Proxy support
 |

- Check latest version

- stable and oldstable aliases
 | 
			
		||||
- Bug Fixes (including issues around version matching and semver)
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
The action will first check the local cache for a version match. If a version is not found locally, it will pull it from
 | 
			
		||||
the `main` branch of the [go-versions](https://github.com/actions/go-versions/blob/main/versions-manifest.json)
 | 
			
		||||
repository. On miss or failure, it will fall back to downloading directly
