 # CodeQL for Visual Studio Code: Changelog
 
-## [UNRELEASED]
+## 1.17.8 - 17 July 2026
 
 - Fix a bug where installing or updating the CodeQL CLI could hang indefinitely while extracting the downloaded archive. Extraction now reports an error if a file cannot be written, and aborts with a clear message if no progress is made within the download timeout (for example due to slow or networked storage, or security software). [#4455](https://github.com/github/vscode-codeql/pull/4455)
 - Remove support for CodeQL CLI versions older than 2.23.9. [#4448](https://github.com/github/vscode-codeql/pull/4448)
