 - If multiple inputs are provided for the GitHub-internal `analysis-kinds` input, only `code-scanning` will be enabled. The `analysis-kinds` input is experimental, for GitHub-internal use only, and may change without notice at any time. [#3892](https://github.com/github/codeql-action/pull/3892)
+- Added an experimental change which, when running a Code Scanning analysis for a PR with [improved incremental analysis](https://github.com/github/roadmap/issues/1158) enabled, prefers CodeQL CLI versions that have a cached overlay-base database for the configured languages. This speeds up analysis for a repository when there is not yet a cached overlay-base database for the latest CLI version. We expect to roll this change out to everyone in May.
