+## 4.38.1 - 18 Sept 2026
+
+- The CodeQL Action now has experimental support for CodeQL releases for which per-language bundles are available. Per-language bundles support analysis for a single language and are therefore smaller than the combined bundles that allow analysis for all supported languages. As a result, per-language bundles take up less space on disk and are faster to download. We expect to roll this change out to everyone in the coming weeks. [#4146](https://github.com/github/codeql-action/pull/4146)

 ## 4.38.0 - 09 Sept 2026
 
 - On GitHub-hosted runners, the CodeQL Action now deletes unused CodeQL bundles from the toolcache before downloading a different bundle, which frees up disk space for the analysis. We expect to roll this change out to everyone in September. [#4124](https://github.com/github/codeql-action/pull/4124)
