Mentions support for the GitHub app in Microsoft Teams and Slack

Are you using our GitHub app in Microsoft Teams or Slack? Do you find it difficult to track all the notifications you get in your channels?
If yes, here comes a feature that helps you focus on the notifications that are relevant to you! 🎉

Teams PR mentions
Slack PR mentions

When you subscribe to a repository in Microsoft Teams or Slack, you will now see yourself mentioned in the notifications where you are referred and needs your attention.
As you receive notifications for Issues, PRs, Discussions and Deployments, here are the cases when you will be mentioned.

  • Assignee in an Issue
  • Reviewer for a PR
  • Mentioned in a PR/Issue description/comment/discussion
  • Reviewer for a Deployment
  • Scheduled reminders for PR review requests

See GitHub for Microsoft Teams or GitHub for Slack for more information about this feature.

CODEOWNERS improvements (syntax errors, preview of who will be requested, and more)

A CODEOWNERS file defines the users or teams responsible for different parts of your repository, and helps ensure the right people are included in pull request reviews. We've shipped some improvements that make it easier to work with CODEOWNERS!

Surfacing syntax errors

Syntax errors are now surfaced when viewing a CODEOWNERS file from the web. Previously, when a line in a CODEOWNERS file had a syntax error, it would be ignored or in some cases cause the entire CODEOWNERS file to not load.

GitHub Apps and Actions can access the same list of errors using new REST and GraphQL APIs.

See which CODEOWNERS will be requested for review

When creating a new pull request or after pushing new changes to a draft pull request, any CODEOWNERS that will be requested for review are now listed:

This gives you an early look at who will be requested to review once the pull request is marked ready for review.

Comment on the same line

Comments in CODEOWNERS files can now appear at the end of a line, not just on their own line:

*.js    @js-owner       # All JavaSript files
