Rows naming an image this repository runs on sort first and carry it in **Affects**. | Announced | Kind | Affects | Announcement | | :-------- | :--- | :------ | :----------- | | 2026-07-16 | 🆕 new | — | [[macOS] Xcode 27 is now available as a public preview](https://github.com/actions/runner-images/issues/14404) | | 2026-07-07 | 🆕 new | — | [[macOS] Default Xcode on macOS 26 Tahoe will be set to Xcode 26.6 on 2026.07.21](https://github.com/actions/runner-images/issues/14344) | | 2026-06-16 | 🔴 retirement | — | [[Ubuntu] The Ubuntu 22 based runner images will begin deprecation on September 17th and will be fully unsupported by April 17th for GitHub Actions and Azure DevOps](https://github.com/actions/runner-images/issues/14254) | | 2026-06-11 | 🆕 new | — | [[Ubuntu] Ubuntu 26.04 and Ubuntu 26.04 Arm is now available as a public preview](https://github.com/actions/runner-images/issues/14226) | | 2026-06-11 | 🆕 new | — | [[Windows] Windows 11 Arm with Visual Studio 2026 is now available as a public preview](https://github.com/actions/runner-images/issues/14225) | | 2026-01-11 | 🔴 retirement | — | [[macOS] The macOS 14 Sonoma based runner images will begin deprecation on July 6th and will be fully unsupported by November 2nd for GitHub Actions and Azure DevOps](https://github.com/actions/runner-images/issues/13518) | A `runs-on:` value is the one dependency in a workflow that nothing bumps automatically, so a retirement lands as a failing build unless it is acted on here. Rows marked 🔴 with an entry under **Affects** are the ones with a deadline. Images this repository tracks: `macos-26`, `macos-26-intel`, `ubuntu-26.04`, `ubuntu-26.04-arm`, `windows-11-arm`, `windows-2025` This issue closes on its own once GitHub has closed every open announcement. --- 🏭 Generated with [repomatic](https://github.com/kdeldycke/repomatic) `7.12.1`
