The system calculating the outdating of code review comments has been updated to a more precise method such that the exact line of code that anchors the comment must change to outdate the conversation. Users should now only see their conversations as outdated when the line of code that started the conversation is changed.
All consecutive duplicate comments in discussion threads are now hidden by default. This means that threads with numerous, duplicate emoji or +1s will now become shorter to read.
To view comments that have been hidden, simply click on the “…similar comments” button below the first comment.
The permissions for Resolvable Conversations have been updated such that only the pull request author or users with write access to the repository have the ability to resolve the conversation.
