Checks-out is a fork of LGTM. It was forked at 4cbae5. Checks-out uses semantic versioning. The Checks-out configuration format is incompatible with the LGTM configuration format but the legacy format can be parsed.
- Reduce scope of 'authoraffirm' feature. The message will only appear when the pull request has multiple committers AND there are approvers who are also committers. If the approvers are not committers then no error message appears. When the error message appears, we have changed the wording of the message posted to the pull request.
- Improvement to branch deletion protected that was added in 0.25.0. If deletion of the compare branch is enabled then the final approval policy in the policy array must either have a match of "off" or have deletion disabled in the policy.
- Fix several 500-level http responses that should be 400-level responses.
- Add 'authoraffirm' feature when multiple committers on pull request. Pull request author must approve the pull request when there are committers on the pull request other than the pull request author. This is enabled by default.
- Enhanced logging of GitHub webhook events
- Lazy loading of teams for github-team repo-self. Teams are only loaded when they are needed by the approval policy in the .checks-out file. This will fix the triggering of GitHub rate limiters for organizations with many teams.
- github-team repo-self [orgname] support. It is now possible to load all the teams from another organization.
- Fix docker tag validation
- Improved error message when configuration or MAINTAINERS file is missing.
- Improved logging when GitHub hook sends an empty request body.
- Enabling a repository requires successful validation of the configuration files.
- Bug fix for ignoring GitHub pull request comments created by the service.
- Bug fix for organizations in the user interface. If another admin of the organization has enabled it, then you will see the organization enabled. Previously a user only saw the organizations they had enabled themselves.
- Bug fix for case-insensitive team name matching for repositories using the HJSON format for MAINTAINERS file.
- Log request headers on 500-level errors. Will allow us to debug intermittent GitHub status hooks with empty request body.
- Case-insensitive team name matching. Previously only user names were case-insensitive.
- Allow users and groups to be specified in anonymous match policy. So "{foo,bar}[count=2]" foo and bar can either be a group or a user name. Previously only usernames were accepted. Breaking change: it is now a configuration error to have a user name and group name with the same name.
- Eliminate default approval policy. Previously you could omit the approvals list from your configuration file and a default policy would be applied. This behavior can lead to silent misconfiguration of the configuration file. It is now a configuration error if no approval policy is specified. Breaking change: If your configuration file has no approval policy it is now a configuration error. You must specify an approval policy.
- Add 'uptodate' option to merge configuration. When auto-merge is enabled, the uptodate feature will require the compare branch to have merged in all commits from the base branch before automatic merge is performed. Default value for this option is true.
- New admin endpoints to manually deregister github repositories.
- Allow multiple Slack servers to be used as endpoints.
- Use "github-collab [parameter]" notation in MAINTAINERS file. parameter is either the literal "repo-self" or the "org/repo" slug of another repository.
- A repository named “checks-out-configuration” in your organization is special. The files template.checks-out and template.MAINTAINERS in that repository will be used by any other repository that is missing those files.
- user interface has the ability to register or de-register an entire organization. If an organization is registered then any new repositories created in the organization are automatically added to the service.
- Approval scope has new parameters 'regexpaths', 'regexbase', and 'regexcompare'. These are regular expression matches against the file paths of the pull request, the base branch name, or the compare branch name, respectively.

The following is a summary of the changes between the LGTM project and this project.
- The configuration file has changed from a .lgtm file in TOML format to a configuration file in Human JSON (HJSON) format.
- The MAINTAINERS file can either be specified in the original text format or in HJSON format.
- The default behavior when reading the comments on a pull request has been changed to only consider all comments since the HEAD commit on the branch. This behavior can be changed to consider all comments on the pull request with a configuration parameter. Fixes #40.
- Add custom approval policies based on a grammar that tests groups of people against specified thresholds. Fixes #32, #35.
- Add ability to auto-merge a pull request after status checks have passed.
- Add ability to tag the base branch after an auto-merge has completed.
- Add custom approval scopes that can be based on either file paths in the repository or against a list of base branches. Fixes #20.
- Added LGTM_SUNLIGHT environment variable. Can be enabled to provide APIs that might have security or privacy concerns when publicly accessible.
- Improved error messages in API responses for misconfigured git repositories.
