I get the following warnings:

```julia

Julia 1 - ubuntu-latest - x64 - push
Node.js 16 actions are deprecated. Please update the following actions to use Node.js 20: actions/checkout@v3, julia-actions/setup-julia@v1, actions/cache@v1, codecov/codecov-action@v2. For more information see: https://github.blog/changelog/2023-09-22-github-actions-transitioning-from-node-16-to-node-20/.

```

How can I fix them?  
see: [KiteViewers.jl/.github/workflows/CI.yml at main · aenarete/KiteViewers.jl · GitHub](https://github.com/aenarete/KiteViewers.jl/blob/main/.github/workflows/CI.yml)

Update e.g. `actions/checkout@v3` in [KiteViewers.jl/.github/workflows/CI.yml at a7e38ef0f1096bf8b591b0c7736faa0fbccbaeda · aenarete/KiteViewers.jl · GitHub](https://github.com/aenarete/KiteViewers.jl/blob/a7e38ef0f1096bf8b591b0c7736faa0fbccbaeda/.github/workflows/CI.yml#L28) to `actions/checkout@v4`. You can easily automate this using Dependabot, [Keeping your actions up to date with Dependabot - GitHub Docs](https://docs.github.com/en/code-security/dependabot/working-with-dependabot/keeping-your-actions-up-to-date-with-dependabot), e.g. [LLVM.jl/.github/dependabot.yml at master · maleadt/LLVM.jl · GitHub](https://github.com/maleadt/LLVM.jl/blob/master/.github/dependabot.yml).

I’ve been curious about this warning as well. I looked at the `.github/workflows/CI.yml` for my own project, and it was already using `actions/checkout@v4`.

Someone correct me if I’m wrong, but it looks like the problem is still being worked on.
