New Features: Arnica June Release Round-Up

As the summer sun rolls in, so does a burst of new functionality in Arnica! May was an incredibly productive month for our engineering team, and we’re thrilled to share a round-up of impactful improvements that are significantly boosting user experience, workflows, and integration capabilities.

🔧 UI Enhancements & Usability Improvements

🟢 Filter Icon Redesign
No more mysterious three-dot menus—filters are now clearly labeled as filled or outlined icons, making them much easier to identify and use.

📊 Modernized Table Interface
Say goodbye to clunky null fields. Columns now display checkboxes for binary values and backfilled CVE and date fields for consistency and polish across the platform.

📋 Dismissal Reasons in Top-Level View & Exports
Dismissal reasons and context are now surfaced in the top-level findings table and are export-ready. This also enables two new types of reports: a SAST report and a product-level SCA report.

🔗 API & Integration Improvements

📡 Expanded Risk API Data
We’ve enriched our Risk API with a slew of new fields that improve traceability and third-party integration readiness.

• Links to main branch heads
• Permalinks to findings
• Package release dates & latest versions
• Dismissal reasons
• Reachability context
• Activity context

🔄 Update Finding Status via API
Tired of dismissing the same false positive over and over? You can now update finding statuses in bulk through the API.

📐 Policy Improvements

📦 Package Release Date Condition
Create policies that factor in how outdated a package is—like alerting on packages older than a year if a new version dropped within the last month. Great for keeping your dependencies fresh and secure.

🏢 Business Importance Conditions
Now you can set policy conditions based on the business importance of a repository or product, giving you fine-grained control over what risks deserve attention.

🏗️ IAC Rule Selection by Policy
Select which infrastructure-as-code rules run using the new iac_property condition.  

🧑‍💼 Role & Access Management

🔐 Default Role Config for SSO
Admins can now define whether the lowest level of SSO access defaults to read-only product access or global read-only access. Flexible access control just got easier.

🔁 Dev Experience & GitHub Improvements

♻️ GitHub “Re-run” Command
New GitHub command lets you re-run stuck status checks directly from PR comments. A lifesaver when GitHub gets cranky post-outage.

📈 Git Summary Page
It’s back and better than ever! The new Git Summary page aggregates actionable Git insights—like stale repos or unenforced status checks—into interactive tiles with exportable lists.

📝 What's Next?

All of these updates are already live and available in Arnica. And keep an eye out—some bigger feature announcements are coming soon! 👀
