 * Two new actions available for granular control over caches - [restore](restore/action.yml) and [save](save/action.yml)
+* Support cross-os caching as an opt-in feature. See [Cross OS caching](./tips-and-workarounds.md#cross-os-cache) for more info.

 * `restore-keys` - An ordered list of prefix-matched keys to use for restoring stale cache if no cache hit occurred for key.

 ## Use cache across feature branches
 Reusing cache across feature branches is not allowed today to provide cache [isolation](https://docs.github.com/en/actions/using-workflows/caching-dependencies-to-speed-up-workflows#restrictions-for-accessing-a-cache). However if both feature branches are from the default branch, a good way to achieve this is to ensure that the default branch has a cache. This cache will then be consumable by both feature branches.
 
-## Improving cache restore performance on Windows/Using cross-os caching
+## Cross OS cache
-Currently, cache restore is slow on Windows due to tar being inherently slow and the compression algorithm `gzip` in use. `zstd` is the default algorithm in use on linux and macos. It was disabled on Windows due to issues with bsd tar(libarchive), the tar implementation in use on Windows. 
+From `v3.2.3` cache is cross-os compatible when `enableCrossOsArchive` input is passed as true. This means that a cache created on `ubuntu-latest` or `mac-latest` can be used by `windows-latest` and vice versa, provided the workflow which runs on `windows-latest` have input `enableCrossOsArchive` as true. This is useful to cache dependencies which are independent of the runner platform. This will help reduce the consumption of the cache quota and help build for multiple platforms from the same cache. Things to keep in mind while using this feature:
-
+- Only cache those files which are compatible across OSs.
-To improve cache restore performance, we can re-enable `zstd` as the compression algorithm using the following workaround. Add the following step to your workflow before the cache step:
+- Caching symlinks might cause issues while restoration as they work differently on different OSs. 
-
-```yaml
-    - if: ${{ runner.os == 'Windows' }}
-      name: Use GNU tar
-      shell: cmd
-      run: |
-        echo "Adding GNU tar to PATH"
-        echo C:\Program Files\Git\usr\bin>>"%GITHUB_PATH%"
-```
-
-The `cache` action will use GNU tar instead of bsd tar on Windows. This should work on all Github Hosted runners as it is. For self-hosted runners, please ensure you have GNU tar and `zstd` installed.
-
-The above workaround is also needed if you wish to use cross-os caching since difference of compression algorithms will result in different cache versions for the same cache key. So the above workaround will ensure `zstd` is used for caching on all platforms thus resulting in the same cache version for the same cache key.
 
 ## Force deletion of caches overriding default cache eviction policy
 Caches have [branch scope restriction](https://docs.github.com/en/actions/using-workflows/caching-dependencies-to-speed-up-workflows#restrictions-for-accessing-a-cache) in place. This means that if caches for a specific branch are using a lot of storage quota, it may result into more frequently used caches from `default` branch getting thrashed. For example, if there are many pull requests happening on a repo and are creating caches, these cannot be used in default branch scope but will still occupy a lot of space till they get cleaned up by [eviction policy](https://docs.github.com/en/actions/using-workflows/caching-dependencies-to-speed-up-workflows#usage-limits-and-eviction-policy). But sometime we want to clean them up on a faster cadence so as to ensure default branch is not thrashing. In order to achieve this, [gh-actions-cache cli](https://github.com/actions/gh-actions-cache/) can be used to delete caches for specific branches.
