+- Update default CodeQL bundle version to 2.23.3. [#3205](https://github.com/github/codeql-action/pull/3205)
+- Experimental: A new `setup-codeql` action has been added which is similar to `init`, except it only installs the CodeQL CLI and does not initialize a database. Do not use this in production as it is part of an internal experiment and subject to change at any time. [#3204](https://github.com/github/codeql-action/pull/3204)

 - `resolve-environment`: [Experimental] Attempts to infer a build environment suitable for automatic builds. For information about input parameters, see the [resolve-environment action definition](https://github.com/github/codeql-action/blob/main/resolve-environment/action.yml).
 - `start-proxy`: [Experimental] Start the HTTP proxy server. Internal use only and will change without notice. For information about input parameters, see the [start-proxy action definition](https://github.com/github/codeql-action/blob/main/start-proxy/action.yml).
