  • Integrate Jira issues within the Copilot app canvas

    The GitHub Copilot app now supports bringing Jira issues into a shared canvas, allowing Copilot to maintain context throughout the investigation, implementation, and pull request preparation phases. This integration aims to turn Jira issues directly into actionable development tasks.

  • Adaptive model orchestration with Project HydraFusion in CLI

    Project HydraFusion is now available in experimental mode for the GitHub Copilot CLI, delivering automated semantic routing among local, cloud, and compound models. This feature intelligently selects optimal workflows to balance performance, cost, and latency for specific tasks.

  • New agent automation and voice mode for Copilot in VS Code

    Visual Studio Code introduces agent automations in public preview, enabling users to schedule recurring agent tasks hourly, daily, or weekly, or run them on demand. An experimental voice mode allows interactive conversation with Copilot, and users can now review issue/pull request details in the Agents window even when a repository is not open.

  • Expanded enterprise controls for Copilot in JetBrains IDEs

    Enterprise administrators can now centrally configure sandbox behavior for GitHub Copilot in JetBrains IDEs, available in public preview. Managed policies allow control over sandbox enablement, filesystem and network access, proxy settings, developer-tool access, and macOS Keychain access.
