Older releases

We fixed an issue where the updated app descriptor was not listed in the Atlassian Market place. If the Merge Checks do not work, and you’ve installed the app before 2022-09-08, try to uninstall and reinstall the app. If it still does not work as expected, then contact us.

Fallback group for absent Code Owners, members of this group approvals count as CO to every merge check rule (opt-in)
- Use-case: in case of absences of CodeOwners, PRs can not be merged and may block the team progress.
- Define a group called FallbackOwners, and if members of that group are added to Pull Request and approve it, it counts towards the limit in Code Owners merge checks.
PR author considered as approving owner in group merge checks (opt-in)
- If you want that PR authors, who are Code Owners themself for the changes, count towards group merge checks, you can now configure that.
- Add the option: AuthorSelfApproval to the corresponding Group check. e.g.
  Check(@@Devs>=2,AuthorSelfApproval)
  which reduces limit by one, if PR author is also Code Owner as member of Devs group.

Merge Checks Support
- Merge Checks are now supported in Codeowners for Bitbucket Cloud. Check the merge check documentation.
  
  Failed merge checks show up as a failed build in the pull request. You need to enable builds to prevent accidentally merging pull requests with failed checks.

Included a Help Page in the Admin Section
- In the Bitbucket Admin section, there is now a Code Owners section with documentation about CODEOWNERS files.
Improved Parser Error Message

Interactive playground to check your Code Owner rules
- This playground allows you to check your CODEOWNERS file. You can enter your Code Owner rules and files changed in a Pull Request to see the applied active Code Owners.
- ✨ Try out the new playground!
Basic syntax highlighting for CODEOWNERS files in Bitbucket file renderer
- We added proper syntax highlighting for faster feedback of CODEOWNER files.

Better usability by using Webcard instead of Pull Request Comments
- So far the app used pull request comments to indicate which code owners were assigned to the pull request, but also to show potential error cases like using invalid identifiers. Comments have the disadvantage that they can be overlooked in long threads, but also that they generate a lot of notifications.
- With this release all Code Owners related information in pull requests are shown in a Code Owners specific webcard.
- The following screenshot shows the assigned Code Owners of the pull request including their approval status:
  
  Code Owners webcard with approval status
- Furthermore, the webcard gives hints like how to get started with Code Owners
- or potential configuration problems like a non-protected CODEOWNERS file:

* now matches full paths, not only up to a path delimiter, e.g. src/main/com/xyz/Logger.java
Improved logging to help in customer support cases

Fixes error "PayloadTooLargeError: request entity too large" that occurs in very large PRs where the Bitbucket payload is larger than 100KB limit
