[UNRELEASED]
- The Git version 2.36.0 requirement for improved incremental analysis now only applies to repositories that contain submodules. #3789
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
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-prsand the type "True/false", then set this property totruein 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 theCODEQL_ACTION_FILE_COVERAGE_ON_PRSenvironment variable totruein your workflow.- User-owned repositories using default setup: Switch to an advanced setup workflow and set the
CODEQL_ACTION_FILE_COVERAGE_ON_PRSenvironment variable totruein your workflow.- User-owned repositories using advanced setup: Set the
CODEQL_ACTION_FILE_COVERAGE_ON_PRSenvironment variable totruein 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-overlaythat was previously only available on GitHub.com. #3559Once 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
4.32.6 - 05 Mar 2026
4.32.5 - 02 Mar 2026
- Repositories owned by an organization can now set up the
github-codeql-disable-overlaycustom repository property to disable improved incremental analysis for CodeQL. First, create a custom repository property with the namegithub-codeql-disable-overlayand the type "True/false" in the organization's settings. Then in the repository's settings, set this property totrueto 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 â potentially due to insufficient disk space â 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
