v2.17.2

Known issues

• The beta support for analyzing Swift in this release and all previous releases requires g++-13 when running on Linux. Users analyzing Swift using the ubuntu-latest, ubuntu-22.04, or ubuntu-20.04 runner images for GitHub Actions should update their workflows to install g++-13. For more information, see the runner images announcement.

Improvements

• When uploading a SARIF file to GitHub using codeql github upload-results, the CodeQL CLI now waits for the file to be processed by GitHub. If any errors occurred during processing of the analysis results, the command will log these and return a non-zero exit code. To disable this behaviour, pass the --no-wait-for-processing flag.

  By default, the command will wait for the SARIF file to be processed for a maximum of 2 minutes, however this is configurable with the --wait-for-processing-timeout option.

• The build tracer is no longer enabled when using the none build mode to analyze a compiled language, thus improving performance.

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/v2.17.2.
