2.26.12 - 07 Oct 2024

• Upcoming breaking change: Add a deprecation warning for customers using CodeQL version 2.14.5 and earlier. These versions of CodeQL were discontinued on 24 September 2024 alongside GitHub Enterprise Server 3.10, and will be unsupported by CodeQL Action versions 3.27.0 and later and versions 2.27.0 and later. #​2520
  • If you are using one of these versions, please update to CodeQL CLI version 2.14.6 or later. For instance, if you have specified a custom version of the CLI using the 'tools' input to the 'init' Action, you can remove this input to use the default version.
  • Alternatively, if you want to continue using a version of the CodeQL CLI between 2.13.5 and 2.14.5, you can replace github/codeql-action/*@​v3 by github/codeql-action/*@​v3.26.11 and github/codeql-action/*@​v2 by github/codeql-action/*@​v2.26.11 in your code scanning workflow to ensure you continue using this version of the CodeQL Action.

2.26.11 - 03 Oct 2024

• Upcoming breaking change: Add support for using actions/download-artifact@v4 to programmatically consume CodeQL Action debug artifacts.
  Starting November 30, 2024, GitHub.com customers will no longer be able to use actions/download-artifact@v3. Therefore, to avoid breakage, customers who programmatically download the CodeQL Action debug artifacts should set the CODEQL_ACTION_ARTIFACT_V4_UPGRADE environment variable to true and bump actions/download-artifact@v3 to actions/download-artifact@v4 in their workflows. The CodeQL Action will enable this behavior by default in early November and workflows that have not yet bumped to actions/download-artifact@v3 to actions/download-artifact@v4 will begin failing then.
  This change is currently unavailable for GitHub Enterprise Server customers, as actions/upload-artifact@v4 and actions/download-artifact@v4 are not yet compatible with GHES.

CodeQL Action Changelog

See the releases page for the relevant changes to the CodeQL CLI and language packs.

Note that the only difference between v2 and v3 of the CodeQL Action is the node version they support, with v3 running on node 20 while we continue to release v2 to support running on node 16. For example 3.22.11 was the first v3 release and is functionally identical to 2.22.11. This approach ensures an easy way to track exactly which features are included in different versions, indicated by the minor and patch version numbers.

2.25.6 - 20 May 2024

• Update default CodeQL bundle version to 2.17.3. #​2295

    We recommend removing any references to these from your workflows. For more information, see the release notes for CodeQL Action v3.23.0 and v2.23.0.
• Automatically overwrite an existing database if found on the filesystem. #​2229
• Bump the minimum CodeQL bundle version to 2.12.6. #​2232

• Update default CodeQL bundle version to 2.17.0. #​2219
• Add a deprecation warning for customers using CodeQL version 2.12.5 and earlier. These versions of CodeQL were discontinued on 26 March 2024 alongside GitHub Enterprise Server 3.8, and will be unsupported by CodeQL Action versions 3.25.0 and later and versions 2.25.0 and later. #​2220
  • If you are using one of these versions, please update to CodeQL CLI version 2.12.6 or later. For instance, if you have specified a custom version of the CLI using the 'tools' input to the 'init' Action, you can remove this input to use the default version.
  • Alternatively, if you want to continue using a version of the CodeQL CLI between 2.11.6 and 2.12.5, you can replace github/codeql-action/*@​v3 by github/codeql-action/*@​v3.24.10 and github/codeql-action/*@​v2 by github/codeql-action/*@​v2.24.10 in your code scanning workflow to ensure you continue using this version of the CodeQL Action.
