 3.7.1 (unreleased)
 ======================
+- Addressed bugs caught by SonarQube static code analysis.  Interface
+  changes listed here: Added missing input data parameter to the create_output
+  calls, Added missing log level to run function, Removed the deprecated 
+  parameter, dao_threshold, from astrometric_utils.py/extract_sources, removed 
+  "ivmlist" parameter from the interface of multiple functions in processInput.py 
+  as it is an output parameter (buildFileListOrig, buildFileList, checkMultipleFiles,
+  and process_input), and addressed missing parameters in the calls to
+  get_ci_info and get_ci_from_file.. [#1802]
+
 - Exclude single filter images from the generation of the total detection
   image to minimize cosmic ray contamination, unless there are only single
   filter images in the visit. [#1797]
