+## [8.0.0-rc.0](https://github.com/graycoreio/github-actions-magento2/compare/v7.0.0...v8.0.0-rc.0) (2026-05-10)
+
+
+### ⚠ BREAKING CHANGES
+
+* **setup-magento:** Previously, when using setup-magento in extension mode, the magento 2 repo root was ../magento2 (outside of the extension folder). Due to interactions with `cache-magento` we need to keep magento inside the GITHUB_WORKSPACE (the root repo). We now do this in the `_ghamagento` folder. If you rely on the `steps.setup-magento.outputs.path` nothing changes for you. But, if you hardcoded the path, it's likely broken.
+
