GitHub Enterprise Server 3.1 available as a release candidate

GitHub Enterprise Server 3.1, now available as a release candidate, builds upon the success of version 3.0 by improving stability, ease of use, and introducing new features. This release offers enhancements such as GitHub Actions workflow visualizations for easier tracking and troubleshooting, automerge capabilities for pull requests to streamline development, and performance optimizations for large repositories. Security has been bolstered with the general availability of secret scanning, which detects credentials in code and supports a wide array of patterns, while code scanning with the CodeQL engine now covers more libraries and frameworks. The update aims to enhance workflow efficiency, with features like smarter issue management and notification controls, as well as optimizing repository operations, particularly for large monorepos, by improving write operation speeds and reducing lock times. GitHub encourages users to explore these improvements by downloading the release candidate and providing feedback.
