v2.15.1

Release 2.15.1 (2023-10-19)

Potentially Breaking Changes

• The query server's evaluation/trimCache command was previously equivalent to the codeql database cleanup --mode=gentle CLI command, but is now equivalent to using --mode=normal.

Deprecations

• The accepted values of the codeql database cleanup --mode= command line option have been renamed to bring them in line with what they are called in the VSCode extension and the query server:
  • --mode=brutal is now --mode=clear.
  • --mode=normal is now --mode=trim.
  • --mode=light is now --mode=fit.
  • The old names are deprecated, but will be accepted for backwards-compatibility reasons until further notice.

Improvements

• The list of failed tests at the end of a codeql test run is now sorted lexicographically.

Bugs fixed

• Fixed a bug where the $CODEQL_JAVA_HOME environment variable was
  erroneously ignored for certain subsidiary Java processes started by
  codeql.
• Fixed a bug in the CodeQL build tracer on Apple Silicon machines that prevented database creation if System Integrity Protection was disabled.
