v2.12.4

Breaking changes

• The default value of the --mode switch to codeql pack install has changed. The default is now --mode minimal-update.
  Previously, it was use-lock.

New features

• The per-pack compilation cache has been replaced with a global compilation cache
  found within ~/.codeql.
• codeql pack install now uses a new algorithm to determine which versions of
  the pack's dependencies to use, based on the PubGrub
  algorithm.
• Added a new command, codeql pack upgrade. This command is similar to codeql pack install,
  except that it ignores any existing lock file, installs the latest compatible version of each
  dependency, and writes a new lock file.
• Added a new command, codeql pack ci. This command is similar to codeql pack install,
  except if the existing lock file is missing, or if it conflicts with the version constraints in
  the qlpack.yml file, the command generates an error.

Deprecations

• The --freeze switch for codeql pack create, codeql pack bundle, and codeql pack publish
  is now deprecated and ignored, as there is no longer a cache within a pack.
• The --mode update switch to codeql pack resolve-dependencies is now deprecated.
• The --mode switch to codeql pack install is now deprecated.
