 * Fixed the download stuck problem by introducing a timeout of 1 hour for cache downloads.
 * Fix zstd not working for windows on gnu tar in issues.
 * Allowing users to provide a custom timeout as input for aborting download of a cache segment using an environment variable `SEGMENT_DOWNLOAD_TIMEOUT_MINS`. Default is 60 minutes.
-* Two new actions available for granular control over caches - [restore](restore/action.yml) and [save](save/action.yml)
