Sprint 158 just finished rolling out to all organizations and you can check out all the new features in the release notes. Here are some of the features that you can start using today.
Azure Repos: Preview Markdown in Pull Request
You can now see a preview of how a Markdown file will look by using the new Preview button on the Pull Request Files tab. In addition, you can see the full content of a file from the Side-by-side diff by selecting the View button.
Azure Pipelines: Retry failed stages in YAML pipelines
In multi-stage YAML pipelines, you can now retry a pipeline stage when the execution fails. Any jobs that failed in the first attempt and those that depend transitively on those failed jobs are all re-attempted. (Note: you must have the preview feature Multi-stage pipelines enabled)
Azure Boards: Link work items to deployments
We are excited to release a preview of the Deployment control on the work item form. This control links your work items to a release and enables you to easily track where your work item has been deployed.
Azure Boards: Hide fields in a work item form based on condition
We’ve added a new rule to the inherited rules engine to let you hide fields in a work item form. This rule will hide fields based on the user’s group membership. For example, if the user belongs to the “product owner” group, then you can hide a developer-specific field.
These are just the tip of the iceberg, and there are plenty more features that we’ve released in Sprint 158. Check out the full list of features for this sprint in the release notes.
