We are happy to announce that we’ve published a new Cloud version of Code Owners for Bitbucket on . 🎉
Improvements
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.
This release now switches to a pull request webcard for all app-related communication. The following screenshot shows the assigned Code Owners of the pull request including their approval status:
Furthermore, the webcard now also gives hints like how to get started with Code Owners
or potential configuration problems like a non-protected CODEOWNERS file:
