CodeQL Action Changelog
See the releases page for the relevant changes to the CodeQL CLI and language packs.
[UNRELEASED]
- If multiple inputs are provided for the GitHub-internal
analysis-kindsinput, onlycode-scanningwill be enabled. Theanalysis-kindsinput is experimental, for GitHub-internal use only, and may change without notice at any time. #3892- Added an experimental change which, when running a Code Scanning analysis for a PR with improved incremental analysis enabled, prefers CodeQL CLI versions that have a cached overlay-base database for the configured languages. This speeds up analysis for a repository when there is not yet a cached overlay-base database for the latest CLI version. We expect to roll this change out to everyone in May. #3880
4.35.4 - 07 May 2026
4.35.3 - 01 May 2026
- Upcoming breaking change: Add a deprecation warning for customers using CodeQL version 2.19.3 and earlier. These versions of CodeQL were discontinued on 9 April 2026 alongside GitHub Enterprise Server 3.15, and will be unsupported by the next minor release of the CodeQL Action. #3837
- Configurations for private registries that use Cloudsmith or GCP OIDC are now accepted. #3850
- Best-effort connection tests for private registries now use
GETrequests instead ofHEADfor better compatibility with various registry implementations. For NuGet feeds, the test is now always performed against the service index. #3853- Fixed a bug where two diagnostics produced within the same millisecond could overwrite each other on disk, causing one of them to be lost. #3852
- Update default CodeQL bundle version to 2.25.3. #3865
4.35.2 - 15 Apr 2026
- The undocumented TRAP cache cleanup feature that could be enabled using the
CODEQL_ACTION_CLEANUP_TRAP_CACHESenvironment variable is deprecated and will be removed in May 2026. If you are affected by this, we recommend disabling TRAP caching by passing thetrap-caching: falseinput to theinitAction. #3795- The Git version 2.36.0 requirement for improved incremental analysis now only applies to repositories that contain submodules. #3789
- Python analysis on GHES no longer extracts the standard library, relying instead on models of the standard library. This should result in significantly faster extraction and analysis times, while the effect on alerts should be minimal. #3794
- Fixed a bug in the validation of OIDC configurations for private registries that was added in CodeQL Action 4.33.0 / 3.33.0. #3807
- Update default CodeQL bundle version to 2.25.2. #3823
4.35.1 - 27 Mar 2026
- Fix incorrect minimum required Git version for improved incremental analysis: it should have been 2.36.0, not 2.11.0. #3781
4.35.0 - 27 Mar 2026
- Reduced the minimum Git version required for improved incremental analysis from 2.38.0 to 2.11.0. #3767
- Update default CodeQL bundle version to 2.25.1. #3773
4.34.1 - 20 Mar 2026
- Downgrade default CodeQL bundle version to 2.24.3 due to issues with a small percentage of Actions and JavaScript analyses. #3762
4.34.0 - 20 Mar 2026
- Added an experimental change which disables TRAP caching when improved incremental analysis is enabled, since improved incremental analysis supersedes TRAP caching. This will improve performance and reduce Actions cache usage. We expect to roll this change out to everyone in March. #3569
- We are rolling out improved incremental analysis to C/C++ analyses that use build mode
none. We expect this rollout to be complete by the end of April 2026. #3584- Update default CodeQL bundle version to 2.25.0. #3585
4.33.0 - 16 Mar 2026
