This page provides a high-level summary of releases starting from 2025. It details new functionality, UI changes, deprecations, and important announcements across Unleash and its components.
How to use the tags
Each release note is tagged with the part of the product it applies to. Use the tags to filter for the areas you’re interested in.
- Unleash: The core platform, including the Unleash server, the Admin UI, and overarching product decisions and announcements. See the architecture overview.
- Enterprise Edge: Releases for Unleash Enterprise Edge, a lightweight caching layer that improves the scalability, performance, and resilience of your feature flag infrastructure.
- MCP server: Releases for the Unleash MCP server, which lets AI coding assistants manage feature flags.
- SDKs: Changes that affect the Unleash SDKs, such as naming changes or new capabilities that span multiple SDKs.
A single release note can carry more than one tag when a release touches several areas.
Versioning
Unleash follows semantic versioning, with major versions (for example, v7.0.0) including significant new features and might include breaking changes, and minor versions (for example, v7.4.0) adding new functionality while maintaining backward compatibility.
For a comprehensive list of all Unleash releases, including patch versions and history prior to 2025, visit the Unleash Releases page on GitHub.
The Unleash MCP server, Unleash Enterprise Edge, and each SDK are versioned independently and publish their own changelog in their respective GitHub repositories.
Unleash v7.0.0
Flag cleanup reminders and automation
To help you stay on top of technical debt, we’ve introduced automated reminders for flag cleanup.
When a feature flag reaches its intended cleanup date and we no longer detect metrics, we’ll remind you to change its lifecycle status to Cleanup. This highlights the flag in the UI, making it clear which flags are ready to be removed.
On the flag’s page, you will see a reminder to remove the flag from your codebase and archive it in Unleash.
External links on feature flags
You can now add external links to your feature flags, allowing you to connect directly to related resources like key metrics, analytics, or issue trackers. Add a link on the Overview page of any feature flag.
In addition, you can define link templates at the project level in Settings > Project settings > Enterprise settings > Project link templates.
These templates automatically populate links for all new feature flags within that project. For example, you can create templates to find all usages of a feature flag in your repository or automatically link to a Jira issue when a flag is created from Jira
Colors on tags
To help you visually differentiate and organize your feature flags, you can now add colors to tags. When you create or edit a tag in Configure > Tag types, you can assign a specific color. This makes it easier to quickly identify and manage flags, especially in projects with many tags.
Improved flag search and Admin UI menu
We’ve renamed Search to Flags overview, to create a centralized place to monitor the status and lifecycle of all your feature flags and releases. This is particularly useful for coordinating flags across multiple teams.
With Flags overview, you can get a clear picture of where each flag is in its lifecycle and its current status—replacing the need for manual tracking or spreadsheets.
We’ve also redesigned the Configure menu and removed redundant items such as Recent projects and Recent flags, which are now accessible from the main Dashboard.
Simplified activation strategies and constraints
We simplified the process of adding or editing activation strategies and constraints. Use Add strategy to add the default activation strategy to a flag; use More strategies to select a different strategy type or get an overview of all available release templates.
Removed deprecated endpoints and schema properties
As part of our commitment to maintaining a clean and robust codebase, several deprecated API endpoints and schema properties have been removed in Unleash v7. Refer to our Migration guide for a detailed list of API changes and additional help with upgrading to Unleash 7.
