New filter parameter in workflow jobs API

We are changing the default behavior of the endpoint in the Actions API that lists the jobs for a workflow run. Previously this endpoint was returning all jobs, including old executions if you have reran the workflow run.

Now, you can set the query parameter filter=latest on the endpoint and not receive old executions of the same job. latest is the new default behavior, but you can use filter=all to use the older behavior and receive all executions.

This is a breaking change. Existing users of this endpoint should add the filter=all query parameter to return to the older behavior.

GitHub Slack Integration Planned Maintenance

To improve the scale and reliability of the GitHub and Slack integration, we are moving it to a new data center. The move is scheduled for Saturday, March 14, 2020 at 4 PM (Pacific) and will take between 30-60 minutes.

During the move, slash commands (like /github subscribe), link previews (unfurls), and notifications will not be available in Slack. No other GitHub.com services will be impacted.

If we are unable to fully complete the move during this time, we will resume it on Sunday, March 15, 2020 at 4 PM (Pacific).

Thank you for your understanding as we work to improve the integration between GitHub and Slack.
