Sourced from github/codeql-action/init's releases.
v4.39.2
- Update default CodeQL bundle version to 2.27.4. #4284
- Upcoming breaking change: CodeQL version 2.22.3 and earlier were discontinued on 16 October 2026 alongside GitHub Enterprise Server 3.18, and will be unsupported by the next minor release of the CodeQL Action. Added a deprecation warning for customers using these versions of CodeQL. #4266
- Starting with macOS 27 and Xcode 27, traced analyses are unsupported. See this blog post for more information. The CodeQL Action will now try to identify if a workflow is about to perform a traced analysis on version 27 or above of macOS or Xcode. If so, the CodeQL Action will emit a corresponding warning that will also be visible on the Tool Status Page. This check will be rolled out following this release of the CodeQL Action. #4221
- The undocumented TRAP cache cleanup feature that could be enabled using the
CODEQL_ACTION_CLEANUP_TRAP_CACHESenvironment variable has been removed, as announced in the release notes for CodeQL Action 4.35.2. TheanalyzeAction now warns if this environment variable is set. If you used TRAP cache cleanup to limit Actions cache usage, we recommend disabling TRAP caching by passing thetrap-caching: falseinput to theinitAction. #4243

4.39.3 - 04 Nov 2026

4.39.0 - 15 Oct 2026
- Breaking change: Bump the minimum required CodeQL bundle version to 2.20.7. #4205
- The
codeql-action/analyzestep now validates that a correct argument for thecheckout_pathinput has been provided. Thecheckout_pathinput must be set to the path where the repository that is being analyzed is checked out at on the runner, if that path is something other than the workspace root. If the path does not point to a repository checkout or is different from the path that was used bycodeql-action/init, then the CodeQL Action now produces a warning. #4148- Resolved an issue with third-party caching implementations that prevented caches from being restored correctly. #4206
- The
codeql-action/start-proxystep that is used in Code Scanning Default Setup now finds CodeQL releases using the same logic ascodeql-action/init. This primarily benefits customers who are using GitHub instances other thangithub.comwhere thecodeql-action/start-proxystep may previously have been unable to locate recent releases and ended up using outdated versions of the private registry authentication proxy as a result. #41984.38.3 - 08 Oct 2026
- Upcoming breaking change: CodeQL version 2.21.2 and earlier were discontinued on 24 September 2026 alongside GitHub Enterprise Server 3.17, and will be unsupported by the next minor release of the CodeQL Action. Added a deprecation warning for customers using these versions of CodeQL. #4188
- Update default CodeQL bundle version to 2.27.2. #4203
- Fixed a bug where the decision of whether to use a per-language bundle did not account for custom configurations that reference queries outside of compiled CodeQL packs. This issue was caught during internal testing and did not affect any customer repositories. We will resume the roll out of per-language bundles in the coming weeks. #4184
4.38.2 - 24 Sept 2026
4.38.1 - 18 Sept 2026
- The CodeQL Action now has experimental support for CodeQL releases for which per-language bundles are available. Per-language bundles support analysis for a single language and are therefore smaller than the combined bundles that allow analysis for all supported languages. As a result, per-language bundles take up less space on disk and are faster to download. We expect to roll this change out to everyone in the coming weeks. #4146
4.38.0 - 09 Sept 2026
- On GitHub-hosted runners, the CodeQL Action now deletes unused CodeQL bundles from the toolcache before downloading a different bundle, which frees up disk space for the analysis. We expect to roll this change out to everyone in September. #4124
- The CodeQL Action now supports CodeQL releases that are compatible with Linux Arm64 and downloads the native
linux-arm64CodeQL bundle when available. #4072- Update default CodeQL bundle version to 2.27.0. #4129
