Enhancements (2) ›
- Filter pull request items by review state
Users can now filter pull request items within project views using the new reviews:search filter. This functionality is supported by the Reviewers field, which tracks requested reviewers and the latest submitted review from each.
- 90-day retention policy for deployment statuses
A new 90-day retention policy for deployment statuses has been implemented, automatically deleting statuses older than 90 days. These old statuses will no longer be accessible via the REST or GraphQL API, though a deployment's current state remains unaffected.
