It is now generally available to all users and is backed by an updated reviews field for filtering pull requests by review state.

Features (1)
  • Advanced search for GitHub Projects is generally available

    The filter bar in GitHub Projects views now supports advanced search with logical AND and OR operators. This enables users to build specific views for their needs without maintaining separate views for each query.

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.
