New Features
- CodeQL now supports native Linux arm64 (
linux-arm64) as a first-class platform. The per-platform CLI (codeql-linux-arm64.zip) and CodeQL bundle (codeql-bundle-linux-arm64.tar.gzandcodeql-bundle-linux-arm64.tar.zst) are available as release assets. Arm64 binaries are provided as a per-platform download only, and are not included in the combinedcodeql.zip,codeql-bundle.tar.gz, orcodeql-bundle.tar.zst. - CodeQL can now take advantage of an organization's private registry configurations in Code Scanning Default Setup to authenticate to container registries or the GitHub API when trying to fetch custom queries or packs. This allows custom queries or packs to be accessed from private locations in Code Scanning Default Setup as long as suitable "Git Source" or "Docker Registry" private registry configurations are set up for the organization.
Deprecations
- Language support for Java 9 and 10 has been deprecated and will be removed in January 2027. Java 7 and 8 will continue to be supported.
- The generic multi-platform
codeql.zipCLI distribution is deprecated and will be removed in a future release. Download the per-platformcodeql-PLATFORM.zipfor your platform instead. The CLI now emits a warning when it is run from an all-platforms distribution; setCODEQL_ALLOW_ALL_PLATFORMS_DIST=trueto suppress it.
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 covers Linux x64, Windows x64 and macOS (including Apple Silicon). Linux arm64 binaries are available as a per-platform codeql-linux-arm64.zip only. Please ignore the additional "source code" downloads below the .zip artifacts.
Warning
The generic codeql.zip (binaries for all x86-64 platforms) is deprecated and will be removed in a future release. Please download the codeql-PLATFORM.zip for your platform instead. Note that arm64 binaries are only available as a per-platform codeql-linux-arm64.zip.
This release is compatible with the CodeQL language packs from github/codeql@codeql-cli/v2.27.0.
