Latest Updates [25.01]: New Premium Support Add-on, MR Tags and Filtering, and more.

We’re excited to roll out several key updates focused on improving usability, organization, and support. Leading the way are the new Premium Support add-on and enhanced MR tag functionality, designed to streamline workflows and provide even better user support.

Premium Support add-on

Users of Repos, Spaces, and Repos+Spaces can now upgrade their support level for faster response times, priority issue resolution, and personalized guidance from our experts. The add-on is now available for purchase in the Account & Billing page.

Merge Request tags

In January, we also added tags to the Merge Request (MR) list views across Git, SVN, and Perforce repositories, making it easier to identify and categorize MRs at a glance. Additionally, a new tag filter lets you quickly find MRs by specific tags.

And here are all the updates that are now available to all users:
