CodeQL CLI
----------

Bug Fixes
~~~~~~~~~

*   A bug where creation of a CodeQL database could sometimes fail with a :code:`NegativeArraySizeException` has now been fixed.

New Features
~~~~~~~~~~~~

*   The CLI and evaluator contain a number of new features in support of internal machine learning experiments. This includes an experimental
    :code:`resolve ml-models` subcommand and new :code:`mlModels` metadata in pack definition files. As these new features are not yet ready for general use, they should be ignored by external CodeQL users.
