GitHub has rolled out a new feature for enterprises using GitHub Copilot CLI and VS Code, enabling them to control plugin installations more strictly. By using the 'strictKnownMarketplaces' setting, enterprises can restrict plugin installations to only those from approved marketplaces. This feature, now in public preview, aims to enhance security by preventing the installation of untrusted plugins, aligning with enterprise governance strategies. This update builds on previous capabilities for managing enterprise plugins.

© GitHub ChangelogGitHub's Copilot code review has become more efficient with the integration of built-in file exploration tools from the Copilot CLI and SDK. This update reduces review costs by about 20% without altering existing workflows, thanks to the use of tools like grep and rg. Additionally, users in the Medium analysis depth public preview can now benefit from improved configurability and visibility of review depth. Organizations can set default review levels, enhancing control over the review process. These changes make Copilot's code review more focused and cost-effective.

Claude Code's latest update, v2.1.193, introduces several enhancements aimed at improving user experience and system efficiency. Notably, the update includes a new auto-mode classifier for Bash/PowerShell commands, providing more comprehensive command routing. Additionally, OpenTelemetry logging now captures assistant response text, offering deeper insights into model interactions.

GitHub is giving organizations more control over their GitHub-hosted runners in Actions, particularly for macOS environments. Admins can now disable standard labels for hosted runners and add macOS runners to specific runner groups, allowing for more precise management of resources. This update enables organizations to restrict access to macOS runners, enforce concurrency limits, and route jobs through policy-driven runner groups. While this feature enhances control and security, it is currently available only on Team and Enterprise plans, and network configurations for macOS runners are not yet supported.
