This release introduces breaking changes.
Notable changes
Renovate 43 (major bump)
This release upgrades from Renovate CLI 42.99.0 to 43.26.5 (2026-02-20).
Please see Renovate v43 release notes for details of the major breaking changes.
RENOVATE_X_REPO_CACHE_FORCE_LOCAL is no longer experimental
In this release, the experimental flag RENOVATE_X_REPO_CACHE_FORCE_LOCAL has been promoted to a non-experimental flag, repositoryCacheForceLocal / RENOVATE_REPOSITORY_CACHE_FORCE_LOCAL.
Migration to the new option is not required at this time, and if you continue using RENOVATE_X_REPO_CACHE_FORCE_LOCAL, this will be auto-migrated for you
This is now a boolean option, but if you previously set RENOVATE_X_REPO_CACHE_FORCE_LOCAL=enabled, it will be migrated for you.
Role Based Access Control's permissions data cache is now valid for 5 minutes
The default settings for the Role Based Access was that we previously would cache permission data for 60 minutes.
This has now been reduced to 5 minutes.
You can see the documentation for how to change this default.
