 ## [UNRELEASED]
 
+- CodeQL query packs listed in the `packs` configuration field will be skipped if their target language is not being analyzed in the current Actions job. Previously, this would throw an error. [#1116](https://github.com/github/codeql-action/pull/1116)
 - The combination of python2 and poetry is no longer supported. See https://github.com/actions/setup-python/issues/374 for more details. [#1124](https://github.com/github/codeql-action/pull/1124)
