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.

- We are rolling out a feature in April/May 2024 that improves the reliability and performance of analyzing code when analyzing a compiled language with the `autobuild` [build mode](https://docs.github.com/en/code-security/code-scanning/creating-an-advanced-setup-for-code-scanning/codeql-code-scanning-for-compiled-languages#codeql-build-modes). [#2235](https://github.com/github/codeql-action/pull/2235)

- Fix a bug where the `init` Action would fail if `--overwrite` was specified in `CODEQL_ACTION_EXTRA_OPTIONS`. [#2245](https://github.com/github/codeql-action/pull/2245)

- The deprecated feature for extracting dependencies for a Python analysis has been removed. [#2224](https://github.com/github/codeql-action/pull/2224)

As a result, the following inputs and environment variables are now ignored:

- The `setup-python-dependencies` input to the `init` Action

- The `CODEQL_ACTION_DISABLE_PYTHON_DEPENDENCY_INSTALLATION` environment variable

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](https://github.com/github/codeql-action/pull/2229)

- Bump the minimum CodeQL bundle version to 2.12.6. [#2232](https://github.com/github/codeql-action/pull/2232)

- A more relevant log message and a diagnostic are now emitted when the `file` program is not installed on a Linux runner, but is required for Go tracing to succeed. [#2234](https://github.com/github/codeql-action/pull/2234)

- Update default CodeQL bundle version to 2.17.0. [#2219](https://github.com/github/codeql-action/pull/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](https://github.com/github/codeql-action/pull/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.

- Update default CodeQL bundle version to 2.16.5. [#2203](https://github.com/github/codeql-action/pull/2203)

- Improve the ease of debugging extraction issues by increasing the verbosity of the extractor logs when running in debug mode. [#2195](https://github.com/github/codeql-action/pull/2195)

- Update default CodeQL bundle version to 2.16.4. [#2185](https://github.com/github/codeql-action/pull/2185)

No user facing changes.

- Update default CodeQL bundle version to 2.16.3. [#2156](https://github.com/github/codeql-action/pull/2156)

- Fix an issue where an existing, but empty, `/sys/fs/cgroup/cpuset.cpus` file always resulted in a single-threaded run. [#2151](https://github.com/github/codeql-action/pull/2151)

- Fix an issue where the CodeQL Action would fail to load a configuration specified by the `config` input to the `init` Action. [#2147](https://github.com/github/codeql-action/pull/2147)

- Enable improved multi-threaded performance on larger runners for GitHub Enterprise Server users. This feature is already available to GitHub.com users. [#2141](https://github.com/github/codeql-action/pull/2141)

- Update default CodeQL bundle version to 2.16.2. [#2124](https://github.com/github/codeql-action/pull/2124)

- The CodeQL action no longer fails if it can't write to the telemetry api endpoint. [#2121](https://github.com/github/codeql-action/pull/2121)

- CodeQL Python analysis will no longer install dependencies on GitHub Enterprise Server, as is already the case for GitHub.com. See [release notes for 3.23.0](#3230---08-jan-2024) for more details. [#2106](https://github.com/github/codeql-action/pull/2106)

- On Linux, the maximum possible value for the `--threads` option now respects the CPU count as specified in `cgroup` files to more accurately reflect the number of available cores when running in containers. [#2083](https://github.com/github/codeql-action/pull/2083)

- Update default CodeQL bundle version to 2.16.1. [#2096](https://github.com/github/codeql-action/pull/2096)

- Update default CodeQL bundle version to 2.16.0. [#2073](https://github.com/github/codeql-action/pull/2073)

- Change the retention period for uploaded debug artifacts to 7 days. Previously, this was whatever the repository default was. [#2079](https://github.com/github/codeql-action/pull/2079)

- We are rolling out a feature in January 2024 that will disable Python dependency installation by default for all users. This improves the speed of analysis while having only a very minor impact on results. You can override this behavior by setting `CODEQL_ACTION_DISABLE_PYTHON_DEPENDENCY_INSTALLATION=false` in your workflow, however we plan to remove this ability in future versions of the CodeQL Action. [#2031](https://github.com/github/codeql-action/pull/2031)

- The CodeQL Action now requires CodeQL version 2.11.6 or later. For more information, see [the corresponding changelog entry for CodeQL Action version 2.22.7](#2227---16-nov-2023). [#2009](https://github.com/github/codeql-action/pull/2009)

- Update default CodeQL bundle version to 2.15.5. [#2047](https://github.com/github/codeql-action/pull/2047)
