Policy to block files with specified patterns

Administrators can now set a policy to prevent commits from being pushed to a repository based on file types and paths. The file name validation policy will block pushes that match the provided pattern.

Resolve work items via commits using key words

You can now resolve work items via commits made to the default branch by using key words like fix, fixes, or fixed. For example, you can write - "this change fixed #476" in your commit message and work item #476 will be completed when the commit is pushed or merged into the default branch. For more details see the documentation here.

Granularity for automatic reviewers

Previously, when adding group level reviewers to a pull request, only one approval was required from the group that was added. Now you can set policies that require more than one reviewer from a team to approve a pull request when adding automatic reviewers. In addition, you can add a policy to prevent requestors approving their own changes.
