Sourced from github/codeql-action's releases.

v4.33.0

• Upcoming change: Starting April 2026, the CodeQL Action will skip collecting file coverage information on pull requests to improve analysis performance. File coverage information will still be computed on non-PR analyses. Pull request analyses will log a warning about this upcoming change. #3562

  To opt out of this change:

  • Repositories owned by an organization: Create a custom repository property with the name github-codeql-file-coverage-on-prs and the type "True/false", then set this property to true in the repository's settings. For more information, see Managing custom properties for repositories in your organization. Alternatively, if you are using an advanced setup workflow, you can set the CODEQL_ACTION_FILE_COVERAGE_ON_PRS environment variable to true in your workflow.
  • User-owned repositories using default setup: Switch to an advanced setup workflow and set the CODEQL_ACTION_FILE_COVERAGE_ON_PRS environment variable to true in your workflow.
  • User-owned repositories using advanced setup: Set the CODEQL_ACTION_FILE_COVERAGE_ON_PRS environment variable to true in your workflow.

• Fixed a bug which caused the CodeQL Action to fail loading repository properties if a "Multi select" repository property was configured for the repository. #3557

• The CodeQL Action now loads custom repository properties on GitHub Enterprise Server, enabling the customization of features such as github-codeql-disable-overlay that was previously only available on GitHub.com. #3559

• Once private package registries can be configured with OIDC-based authentication for organizations, the CodeQL Action will now be able to accept such configurations. #3563

• Fixed the retry mechanism for database uploads. Previously this would fail with the error "Response body object should not be disturbed or locked". #3564

• A warning is now emitted if the CodeQL Action detects a repository property whose name suggests that it relates to the CodeQL Action, but which is not one of the properties recognised by the current version of the CodeQL Action. #3570

v4.32.6

• Update default CodeQL bundle version to 2.24.3. #3548

v4.32.5

• Repositories owned by an organization can now set up the github-codeql-disable-overlay custom repository property to disable improved incremental analysis for CodeQL. First, create a custom repository property with the name github-codeql-disable-overlay and the type "True/false" in the organization's settings. Then in the repository's settings, set this property to true to disable improved incremental analysis. For more information, see Managing custom properties for repositories in your organization. This feature is not yet available on GitHub Enterprise Server. #3507
• Added an experimental change so that when improved incremental analysis fails on a runner — potentially due to insufficient disk space — the failure is recorded in the Actions cache so that subsequent runs will automatically skip improved incremental analysis until something changes (e.g. a larger runner is provisioned or a new CodeQL version is released). We expect to roll this change out to everyone in March. #3487
• The minimum memory check for improved incremental analysis is now skipped for CodeQL 2.24.3 and later, which has reduced peak RAM usage. #3515
• Reduced log levels for best-effort private package registry connection check failures to reduce noise from workflow annotations. #3516
• Added an experimental change which lowers the minimum disk space requirement for improved incremental analysis, enabling it to run on standard GitHub Actions runners. We expect to roll this change out to everyone in March. #3498
• Added an experimental change which allows the start-proxy action to resolve the CodeQL CLI version from feature flags instead of using the linked CLI bundle version. We expect to roll this change out to everyone in March. #3512
• The previously experimental changes from versions 4.32.3, 4.32.4, 3.32.3 and 3.32.4 are now enabled by default. #3503, #3504

v4.32.4

• Update default CodeQL bundle version to 2.24.2. #3493
• Added an experimental change which improves how certificates are generated for the authentication proxy that is used by the CodeQL Action in Default Setup when private package registries are configured. This is expected to generate more widely compatible certificates and should have no impact on analyses which are working correctly already. We expect to roll this change out to everyone in February. #3473
• When the CodeQL Action is run with debugging enabled in Default Setup and private package registries are configured, the "Setup proxy for registries" step will output additional diagnostic information that can be used for troubleshooting. #3486
• Added a setting which allows the CodeQL Action to enable network debugging for Java programs. This will help GitHub staff support customers with troubleshooting issues in GitHub-managed CodeQL workflows, such as Default Setup. This setting can only be enabled by GitHub staff. #3485
• Added a setting which enables GitHub-managed workflows, such as Default Setup, to use a nightly CodeQL CLI release instead of the latest, stable release that is used by default. This will help GitHub staff support customers whose analyses for a given repository or organization require early access to a change in an upcoming CodeQL CLI release. This setting can only be enabled by GitHub staff. #3484

v4.32.3

• Added experimental support for testing connections to private package registries. This feature is not currently enabled for any analysis. In the future, it may be enabled by default for Default Setup. #3466

v4.32.2

• Update default CodeQL bundle version to 2.24.1. #3460

v4.32.1

• A warning is now shown in Default Setup workflow logs if a private package registry is configured using a GitHub Personal Access Token (PAT), but no username is configured. #3422
• Fixed a bug which caused the CodeQL Action to fail when repository properties cannot successfully be retrieved. #3421

v4.32.0

• Update default CodeQL bundle version to 2.24.0. #3425

v4.31.11

• When running a Default Setup workflow with Actions debugging enabled, the CodeQL Action will now use more unique names when uploading logs from the Dependabot authentication proxy as workflow artifacts. This ensures that the artifact names do not clash between multiple jobs in a build matrix. #3409
• Improved error handling throughout the CodeQL Action. #3415
• Added experimental support for automatically excluding generated files from the analysis. This feature is not currently enabled for any analysis. In the future, it may be enabled by default for some GitHub-managed analyses. #3318
• The changelog extracts that are included with releases of the CodeQL Action are now shorter to avoid duplicated information from appearing in Dependabot PRs. #3403
