Users can now add a comment when dismissing a code scanning alert.
Add a dismissal comment to a code scanning alert

It is optional to provide a dismissal comment. Dismissal comments are recorded in the alert timeline. They can also be set via the code scanning REST API when updating an alert, and retrieved through the new dismissed_comment attribute.

This feature is now available to all users on GitHub.com and will be released in GHES 3.6.

Enterprises that use Enterprise Managed Users (EMUs) to authenticate their accounts via Azure Active Directory can now use Azure AD location-based Conditional Access policies to protect the use of PATs and SSH keys. This requires the use of a new OpenID Connect-based application rather than a SAML integration. To learn more, read about enforcing Azure AD Conditional Access for PATs and SSH keys.

Note: this feature is currently in public beta for new and existing Azure AD EMU enterprises.
