v2.10.1

The bundled extractors are updated to match the versions currently used on LGTM.com. These are newer than the last release (1.30) of LGTM Enterprise. If you plan to upload databases to an LGTM Enterprise 1.30 instance, you need to create them with release 2.7.6.

New features

• Improved error message from codeql database analyze when a query is missing @id or @kind query metadata.

For more information about the changes included in this release, see the CodeQL CLI changelog.

You can download either the codeql-PLATFORM.zip for your platform, or the generic codeql.zip which contains binaries for all supported platforms. Please ignore the additional "source code" downloads below the .zip artifacts.

This release is compatible with the CodeQL language packs from github/codeql@codeql-cli/v2.10.1.

(The Windows and all-platform release assets were updated on 2022-08-15 to correct missing digital signatures in the original release assets.)

v2.10.0

The bundled extractors are updated to match the versions currently used on LGTM.com. These are newer than the last release (1.30) of LGTM Enterprise. If you plan to upload databases to an LGTM Enterprise 1.30 instance, you need to create them with release 2.7.6.

Breaking changes

• The --format=stats option of codeql generate log-summary has been renamed to --format=overall. It now produces a richer JSON object that, in addition to the previous statistics about the run (which can be found in the stats property) also records the most expensive predicates in the evaluation run.

Potentially breaking changes

• The codeql resolve ml-model command now requires one or more query specifications as command line arguments in order to determine the set of starting packs from which to initiate the resolution process.

• The buildMetadata inside of compiled CodeQL packs no longer contains a creationTime property.

• The codeql pack download command, when used with the --dir option, now downloads requested packs in directories corresponding to their version numbers.

New features

• You can now include diagnostic messages in the summary produced by the --print-diagnostics-summary option of the codeql database interpret-results and codeql database analyze commands by running these commands at high verbosity levels.

Bugs fixed

• Fixed a bug where codeql pack download, when used with the --dir option, would not download a pack that is in the global package cache.

• Fixed a bug where some versions of a CodeQL package could not be downloaded if there are more than 100 versions of this package in the package registry.

• Fixed a bug where the --also-match option for codeql resolve files and codeql database index-files does not work with relative paths.

• Fixed a bug that caused codeql query decompile to ignore the --output option when producing bytecode output (--kind=bytecode), writing only to stdout.

v2.9.4

The bundled extractors are updated to match the versions currently used on LGTM.com. These are newer than the last release (1.30) of LGTM Enterprise. If you plan to upload databases to an LGTM Enterprise 1.30 instance, you need to create them with release 2.7.6.

New features

• Users of CodeQL Packaging Beta can now optionally authenticate to Container registries on GitHub Enterprise Server (GHES) versions 3.6 and later using standard input instead of the CODEQL_REGISTRIES_AUTH environment variable. To authenticate via standard input, pass --registries-auth-stdin. The value you provide will override the value of the CODEQL_REGISTRIES_AUTH environment variable.

v2.9.3

The bundled extractors are updated to match the versions currently used on LGTM.com. These are newer than the last release (1.30) of LGTM Enterprise. If you plan to upload databases to an LGTM Enterprise 1.30 instance, you need to create them with release 2.7.6.

New features

• Users can now use CodeQL Packaging Beta to publish and download CodeQL packs on GitHub Enterprise Server (GHES) versions 3.6 and later.

Bugs Fixed

• Fixed a bug where precompiled CodeQL packages in the CodeQL bundle were being recompiled if they were in a read-only directory.

• Fixed a bug where new versions of the VS Code extension wouldn't run two queries in parallel against one database.

v2.9.2

• The bundled extractors are updated to match the versions currently used on LGTM.com. These are newer than the last release (1.30) of LGTM Enterprise. If you plan to upload databases to an LGTM Enterprise 1.30 instance, you need to create them with release 2.7.6.

Features removed

• The table printed by codeql database analyze to summarize the results of metric queries that were part of the analysis now reports a single row per metric name independently of the verbosity level of the command. Previously, at higher verbosity levels, this table would contain multiple rows for metric names with multiple values.

New features

• The tables produced by codeql database analyze summarizing the results of any diagnostic and metric queries that were run now exclude the results of queries tagged telemetry.

• Uploading SARIF results using the codeql github upload-results command now has a timeout of 5 minutes.

• Downloading CodeQL packs using the codeql pack download, codeql pack install and related commands now have a timeout of 5 minutes and will retry 3 times before failing. Similar behavior has been added to the codeql pack publish command.

• The codeql generate log-summary command will now print progress updates to stderr.

Bugs fixed

• Fixed a bug that could make it unpredictable whether the QL compiler reports problems about query metadata tags, and thereby make codeql test run fail spuriously in some cases.

New features

• codeql database create now supports the --[no-]-count-lines option, which was previously only available with codeql database init.

• codeql resolve files and codeql database index-files has a new --also-match option, which allows users to specify glob patterns that are applied in conjunction with the existing --include option.

New language features

• This release introduces experimental support for parameterized QL modules. This language feature is still subject to change and should not be used in production yet.

Bugs fixed

• Fixed a bug that would prevent resolution of a query suite in a published CodeQL query pack that has a reference to the pack itself.

• Fixed inaccurate documentation of what the --include-extension option to codeql resolve files and codeql database index-files does. The actual behavior is unchanged.

Bugs fixed

• Fixed an error where running out of memory during query evaluation would cause codeql to exit with status 34 instead of the 99 that is documented for this condition.

• Fixed a bug in our handling of Clang's header maps, which caused missing files for Xcode-based projects on macOS (e.g. WebKit).

New features

• Executable binaries for Windows are now digitally signed by a GitHub certificate.

Other changes

• The evaluator logs produced by --evaluator-log now default to the maximum verbosity level and will therefore contain more information (and, accordingly, grow larger). The verbosity level can still be configured with --evaluator-log-level. In particular, --evaluator-log-level=1 will restore the previous default behavior.
