`v5` of the Codecov GitHub Action will use the [Codecov Wrapper](https://github.com/codecov/wrapper) to encapsulate the [CLI](https://github.com/codecov/codecov-cli). This will help ensure that the Action gets updates quicker.

The `v5` release also coincides with the opt-out feature for tokens for public repositories. In the repository settings page in codecov.io, you can set the ability for Codecov to receive a coverage report from ANY souce. This will allow contributors or other members of a repository to upload without needing access to the Codecov token.

**The following arguments have been changed**

- `file` (this has been deprecated in favor of `files`)
