Changes

• In preparation for the release of Project Padawan, we added support for assigning to Copilot in the issue webview and @-mentioning Copilot in comments within files.
• There's a new tool and context available in Copilot chat: #activePullRequest. This tool gives Copilot chat information about the pull request you have currently open in a webview (or checked out if no webview is open).

• The issue webview will show when an issue is opened from the "Issues" view or from the notifications view.

• We revisited the top level actions in the Notifications view to make it cleaner, and aligned the display of the Pull Requests view and the Issues view so that they're more consistent.

• There's a new warning before you try to create a pull request when there's already a pull request open for the same branch.

• Pull Request webviews and issue webviews are refreshed every 60 seconds when they are the active tab.
• The default action when adding a comment in a file is now to start a review rather than submit a single comment.
• There's a new action on the Notifications view to mark all pull request notifications with "trivial" updates as done. Enable the action with githubPullRequests.experimental.notificationsMarkPullRequests.
• Comment reactions are shown as readonly in the pull request webview (previously not shown at all).

      "text": "Prefix every PR title with an emoji."
    },
  ],

Changes

• The Pull Requests view supports global queries. All old queries will be migrated when you open your workspace to include the current repo as part of the query. Global query support enables you to use the org and repo properties.
• As part of the support for global queries, we also now have a today variable. This variable can be used to refer to the current day, or it can be used with a minus modifier. Together with the global query support, you can now make queries such as "my PRs in my work org that were created in the last 7 days":

    {
      "label": "My work last 7 days",
      "query": "org:microsoft author:${user} is:closed created:>=${today-7d}"
    }

• All non-outdated comments for a pull request will show in the "Comments" view when you open the pull-request's description, even if you don't have the PR checked out. They will hide again when all files related to the pull request are closed.
• The "Changes in Pull Request" view has a shortcut for toggling editor commenting.

• Python is no longer excluded from @ and # completions by default.
• There's a new command to copy a pull request link: "Copy Pull Request Link".

Changes

This month, our focus was on integrating Copilot into GitHub Pull Requests, using the new VS Code extension API, to showcase how Copilot can be added to an extension. These features are behind several settings. To try everything out, you can set the following settings:

• "githubPullRequests.experimental.chat": true
• "githubPullRequests.experimental.notificationsView": true

Copilot integration

• The new @githubpr Chat Participant can search for issues on GitHub.

• When displaying issues, @githubpr will show a markdown table and try to pick the best columns to show based on the search.

• Each issue listed in the "Issues" view has a new action, "Summarize With Copilot", that will reveal the Chat panel and summarize the selected issue. We also added another action, "Fix With Copilot", that will summarize the selected issue and will use the workspace context to suggest a fix for it.
• We have added an experimental "Notifications" view that lists the user's unread notifications across repositories. By default the notifications are sorted by most recently updated descending, but you can use the "Sort by Priority using Copilot" action from the view title's ... menu to have Copilot prioritize the notifications. Clicking on each notification trigger an action to summarize the notification using Copilot. The view also contains easily accessible action to mark a notification as read, as well as open the notification on GitHub.com.
