Secret scanning now runs a historical scan to detect newly added secret types

GitHub will regularly run a historical scan to detect newly added secret types on repositories with GitHub Advanced Security and secret scanning enabled.

Previously, customers could manually trigger a historical scan to detect new secret types by re-enabling secret scanning, e.g. clicking "Enable all" at the organization level. Now, historical scans are automatic; customers can expect an email of any new detections in their repositories, just like they would when first enabling secret scanning today.

Scheduled reminders updates in GitHub app for Microsoft Teams

The new Scheduled Reminders UI

We made significant enhancements to schedule reminders experience in GitHub app for Microsoft Teams.

  • We have introduced a first class UI to configure your pending pull request reminders. And as part of this UI, we added a bunch of advanced controls that will help you in fine tuning your reminders.
  • We relaxed the administrator requirement to configure reminders. Now, any contributor can schedule reminders in MS Teams for the repositories he/she has access.
