# Docs changelog

**9 April 2026**

We have added documentation for the code security risk assessment (CSRA), a free self-serve tool that helps organization admins and security managers understand their organization's exposure to code vulnerabilities.
New content includes:

* [Code security risk assessment](https://docs.github.com/en/code-security/concepts/code-scanning/code-security-risk-assessment): What the CSRA is, who can run it, what it scans, and how it relates to the secret risk assessment.
* [Running a code security risk assessment](https://docs.github.com/en/code-security/how-tos/secure-at-scale/configure-organization-security/configure-specific-tools/assess-your-vulnerability-risk): How to generate and rerun a CSRA report.
* [Interpreting code security risk assessment results](https://docs.github.com/en/code-security/tutorials/secure-your-organization/interpreting-code-security-risk-assessment-results): How to read the results dashboard, understand vulnerability and rule breakdowns, and enable Code Security directly from the assessment.

We published the first iteration of the [GitHub Copilot feature matrix](https://docs.github.com/copilot/reference/copilot-feature-matrix) to provide customers with the latest information about which Copilot features are available by which IDE/version.

Historically, keeping Copilot feature and IDE availability up to date has required manual coordination with the Docs team, which does not scale well with the increasing number of features. The goal of this document and its process is to enable product owners to directly maintain the Copilot feature and IDE availability information as part of their normal release workflow. The feature matrix provides a single, easy to update source of truth.

The feature matrix is in public preview so that customers have time to gather and submit feedback to us.

When you enable immutable releases, the following protections are enforced:

* **Git tags cannot be moved or deleted**: Once an immutable release is published, its associated Git tag is locked to a specific commit and cannot be changed or removed.
* **Git tags cannot be moved**: Once an immutable release is published, its associated Git tag is locked to a specific commit, cannot be changed, and cannot be deleted while the release exists. If you delete the immutable release, you can delete the tag, but you cannot reuse the same tag name.
* **Release assets cannot be modified or deleted**: All files attached to the release (such as binaries and archives) are protected from modification or deletion.

Additionally, creating an immutable release automatically generates a **release attestation**, which is a cryptographically verifiable record of a release containing the release tag, commit SHA, and release assets. Consumers can use this attestation to make sure the releases and artifacts they are using exactly match the published {% data variables.product.github %} releases.
