Add option to allow non-author contributors (#457)
The new allow_non_author_contributor option allows approvals from contributors who are not the PR author. This avoids confusing behavior with the existing options, where allow_contributor also allows self-approval by the PR author. Contributed by @devinburnette.
Add repository predicate (#461)
The repository predicate allows enabling rules based on the repository that contains the pull request. This makes it easier to share policies between multiple repositories that may have slightly different rules. Contributed by @devinburnette.
Add option to use PR bodies for approval (#454)
The body_patterns approval method looks for matches in the pull request body, counting them as approvals from the PR author. In situations where self-approval is required, it may be more convenient to provide this when opening the PR instead of as a separate comment. Body approvals respect the existing ignore_edited_comments option. Contributed by @agirlnamedsophia.
Dismiss stale reviews (#463)
Policy Bot now attempts to dismiss stale GitHub reviews when they no longer apply to any rules. This can happen in several situations:
invalidate_on_pushis true and a new commit is pushedignore_edited_commentsis true and a review was editedgithub_review_comment_patternsis set and a review does not match any of the patterns
