1.12.4 - 20 March 2024

• Don't show notification after local query cancellation. #3489
• Databases created from CodeQL test cases are now copied into a shared VS Code storage location. This avoids a bug where re-running test cases would fail if the test's database is already imported into the workspace. #3433

1.12.3 - 29 February 2024

• Update variant analysis view to show when cancelation is in progress. #3405
• Remove support for CodeQL CLI versions older than 2.13.5. #3371

• Error messages returned from the CodeQL CLI are now less verbose and more user-friendly. #3259
• The UI for browsing and running CodeQL tests has moved to use VS Code's built-in test UI. This makes the CodeQL test UI more consistent with the test UIs for other languages. This change means that this extension no longer depends on the "Test Explorer UI" and "Test Adapter Converter" extensions. You can uninstall those two extensions if they are not being used by any other extensions you may have installed. #3232

• Make top-banner of the model editor sticky #3120

1.10.0 - 16 November 2023

• Add new CodeQL views for managing databases and queries:

  1. A queries panel that shows all queries in your workspace. It allows you to view, create, and run queries in one place.
  2. A language selector, which allows you to quickly filter databases and queries by language.

  For more information, see the documentation.

• When adding a CodeQL database, we no longer add the database source folder to the workspace by default (since this caused bugs in single-folder workspaces). #3047

  • You can manually add individual database source folders to the workspace with the "Add Database Source to Workspace" right-click command in the databases view.
  • To restore the old behavior of adding all database source folders by default, set the codeQL.addingDatabases.addDatabaseSourceToWorkspace setting to true.

• Rename the codeQL.databaseDownload.allowHttp setting to codeQL.addingDatabases.allowHttp, so that database-related settings are grouped together in the Settings UI. #3047 & #3069

1.9.4 - 6 November 2023

No user facing changes.

1.9.3 - 26 October 2023

• Sorted result set filenames now include a hash of the result set name instead of the full name. #2955
• The "Install Pack Dependencies" will now only list CodeQL packs located in the workspace. #2960

• Fix not being able to open the results directory or evaluator log for a cancelled local query run. #2996
• Fix empty row in alert path when the SARIF location was empty. #3018

1.9.2 - 12 October 2023

• Fix a bug where the query to Find Definitions in database source files would not be cancelled appropriately. #2885
• It is now possible to show the language of query history items using the %l specifier in the codeQL.queryHistory.format setting. Note that this only works for queries run after this upgrade, and older items will show unknown as a language. #2892
• Increase the required version of VS Code to 1.82.0. #2877
• Fix a bug where the query server was restarted twice after configuration changes. #2884.
• Add support for the telemetry.telemetryLevel setting. For more information, see the telemetry documentation. #2824.
• Add a "CodeQL: Trim Cache" command that clears the evaluation cache of a database except for predicates annotated with the cached keyword. Its purpose is to get accurate performance measurements when tuning the final stage of a query, like a data-flow configuration. This is equivalent to the codeql database cleanup --mode=normal CLI command. In contrast, the existing "CodeQL: Clear Cache" command clears the entire cache. CodeQL CLI v2.15.1 or later is required. #2928
• Fix syntax highlighting directly after import statements with instantiation arguments. #2792
• The debug.saveBeforeStart setting is now respected when running variant analyses. #2950

1.8.11 - 7 September 2023

• Update how variant analysis results are displayed. For queries with "path-problem" or "problem" @kind, you can choose to display the results as rendered alerts or as a table of raw results. For queries with any other @kind, the results are displayed as a table. #2745 & #2749
• When running variant analyses, don't download artifacts for repositories with no results. #2736
• Group the extension settings, so that they're easier to find in the Settings UI. #2706

1.8.10 - 15 August 2023

1.8.6 - 14 June 2023

• Add repositories to a variant analysis list with GitHub Code Search. #2439 and #2476

1.8.5 - 6 June 2023

• Add settings codeQL.variantAnalysis.defaultResultsFilter and codeQL.variantAnalysis.defaultResultsSort for configuring how variant analysis results are filtered and sorted in the results view. The default is to show all repositories, and to sort by the number of results. #2392
• Fix bug to ensure error messages have complete stack trace in message logs. #2425
• Fix bug where the CodeQL: Compare Query command did not work for comparing quick-eval queries. #2422
• Update text of copy and export buttons in variant analysis results view to clarify that they only copy/export the selected/filtered results. #2427

1.8.2 - 12 April 2023

• Fix bug where users could end up with the managed CodeQL CLI getting uninstalled during upgrades and not reinstalled. #2294
• Fix bug that was causing code flows to not get updated when switching between results. #2288
• Restart the CodeQL language server whenever the CodeQL: Restart Query Server command is invoked. This avoids bugs where the CLI version changes to support new language features, but the language server is not updated. #2238
• Avoid requiring a manual restart of the query server when the external CLI config file changes. #2289

1.8.1 - 23 March 2023

• Fix a bug where databases may be lost if VS Code is restarted while the extension is being started up. #1638
• Add commands for navigating up, down, left, or right in the result viewer. Previously there were only commands for moving up and down the currently-selected path. We suggest binding keyboard shortcuts to these commands, for navigating the result viewer using the keyboard. #1568

1.7.2 - 14 October 2022

• Fix a bug where results created in older versions were thought to be unsuccessful. #1605

1.7.1 - 12 October 2022

No user facing changes.

1.6.0 - 7 March 2022

• Fix a bug where database upgrades could not be resolved if some of the target pack's dependencies are outside of the workspace. #1138
• Open the query server logs for query errors (instead of the extension log). This will make it easier to track down query errors. #1158
• Fix a bug where queries took a long time to run if there are no folders in the workspace. #1157
• [BREAKING CHANGE] The codeQL.runningQueries.customLogDirectory setting is deprecated and no longer has any function. Instead, all query log files will be stored in the query history directory, next to the query results. #1178
• Add a Open query directory command for query items. This command opens the directory containing all artifacts for a query. #1179
• Add options to display evaluator logs for a given query run. Some information that was previously found in the query server output may now be found here. #1186

1.5.11 - 10 February 2022

• Fix a bug where invoking View AST from the file explorer would not view the selected file. Instead it would view the active editor. Also, prevent the View AST from appearing if the current selection includes a directory or multiple files. #1113
• Add query history items as soon as a query is run, including new icons for each history item. #1094
• Save query history items across restarts. Items will be saved for 30 days and can be overwritten by setting the codeQL.queryHistory.ttl configuration setting. #1130
• Allow in-progress query items to be cancelled from the query history view. #1105

1.5.10 - 25 January 2022

• Fix a bug where the results view moved column even when it was already visible. #1070
• Add packaging-related commands. CodeQL: Download Packs downloads query packs from the package registry that can be run locally, and CodeQL: Install Pack Dependencies installs dependencies for packs in your workspace. #1076

1.5.9 - 17 December 2021

• Avoid creating a third column when opening the results view. The results view will always open to the right of the active editor, unless the active editor is in the rightmost editor column. In that case open in the leftmost column. #1037
• Add a CodeLens to make the Quick Evaluation command more accessible. Click the Quick Evaluation prompt above a predicate definition in the editor to evaluate that predicate on its own. You can enable/disable this feature in the codeQL.runningQueries.quickEvalCodelens setting. #1035 & #1052
• Fix a bug where the Alerts option would show in the results view even if there is no alerts table available. #1038
