semgrep 1.61.1

Release v1.61.1

on Python PyPI

1.61.1 - 2024-02-14

Added

• Added performance metrics using OpenTelemetry for better visualization.
  Users wishing to understand the performance of their Semgrep scans or
  to help optimize Semgrep can configure the backend collector created in
  libs/tracing/unix/Tracing.ml.

  This is experimental and both the implementation and flags are likely to
  change. (ea-320)

• Created a new environment variable SEMGREP_REPO_DISPLAY_NAME for use in semgrep CI.
  Currently, this does nothing. The goal is to provide a way to override the display
  name of a repo in the Semgrep App. (gh-8953)

• The OCaml/C executable (semgrep-core or osemgrep) is now passed through
  the strip utility, which reduces its size by 10-25% depending on the
  platform. Contribution by Filipe Pina (@fopina). (gh-9471)

Changed

• "Missing plugin" errors (i.e., rules that cannot be run without --pro) will now
  be grouped and reported as a single warning. (ea-842)
