v1.30.0

Add a server option to avoid loading pushed dates (#599)

In Github 2023-07-01, the Github.com V4 API no longer returns pushedDate for commits. Policy bot now supports an option do_not_load_commit_pushed_date to avoid loading data that is no longer returned.

See #598 for more details

Other Changes

• Exclude policy-bot pages from search indexing (#588)
• Update dependencies and build tools

v1.29.0

Add support for SSH signatures (#504)

The has_valid_signatures and has_valid_signatures_by predicates now check the validity of SSH commit signatures. Contributed by @fpoussin.

Other Changes

• Improve review dismissal behavior for policies where only some rules set invalidate_on_push to true (#577)
• Update dependencies and build tools

Compatibility ⚠️

If you use Policy Bot with GitHub Enterprise, we now require GitHub Enterprise 3.7 or later due to the use of GraphQL queries that select SSH signature fields. Version v1.28.0 is the last release that supports GitHub Enterprise 3.6 and older.

v1.28.0

v1.27.0

Add option to allow non-author contributors (#457)

The new allow_non_author_contributor option allows approvals from contributors who are not the PR author. This avoids confusing behavior with the existing options, where allow_contributor also allows self-approval by the PR author. Contributed by @devinburnette.

Add repository predicate (#461)

The repository predicate allows enabling rules based on the repository that contains the pull request. This makes it easier to share policies between multiple repositories that may have slightly different rules. Contributed by @devinburnette.

Add option to use PR bodies for approval (#454)

The body_patterns approval method looks for matches in the pull request body, counting them as approvals from the PR author. In situations where self-approval is required, it may be more convenient to provide this when opening the PR instead of as a separate comment. Body approvals respect the existing ignore_edited_comments option. Contributed by @agirlnamedsophia.

Dismiss stale reviews (#463)

Policy Bot now attempts to dismiss stale GitHub reviews when they no longer apply to any rules. This can happen in several situations:

• invalidate_on_push is true and a new commit is pushed
• ignore_edited_comments is true and a review was edited
• github_review_comment_patterns is set and a review does not match any of the patterns

Contributed by @devinburnette.

v1.25.0

Display details about predicates and approval requirements in the UI (#407, #413, #414)

Each rule in the UI now has an expandable "Details" section that includes information about why a rule was selected or skipped as well as details about the users, teams, or organizations required to approve the rule. This makes it easier to understand why certain approval is required and who needs to approve without having to find and read the policy YAML file. Contributed by @yiweny.
