v8.1.0

Unleash v8.1.0

Improved projects overview

The projects page now gives you a quicker overview of the status of your projects. Project cards surface anything that needs your attention, such as pending change requests, remaining setup steps, flags that are ready to be cleaned up, and safeguards that have been triggered, so you can act without opening each project.

Streamlined flag lifecycle and archive views

It is now easier to follow how flags move through their entire lifecycle. You can switch between the different lifecycle phases, including archived flags, in one cohesive view instead of navigating to several places to find flags in different phases.

Clone context fields

You can now clone a context field from the context field list, both in the global admin view and in project settings. Cloning opens the create form pre-filled with the source field's description, legal values, and stickiness, so you can quickly recover from a typo in a context field name or create a similar field without retyping a long list of legal values.

Create impact metrics from the UI

You can now create an impact metric directly in the Admin UI. On the feature flag page, click Add impact metric in the impact metric banner. Previously, metrics could only be defined in code through an SDK.

New help menu

The top navigation has a new help menu that gathers useful links in one place: the Unleash Learning Lab, what is new in Unleash, documentation, GitHub, feedback, and the Slack community. Several of these links previously lived in the footer and are now easily accessible from anywhere in the Admin UI.

ServiceNow integration in beta

The new ServiceNow integration automatically tracks the state of your Unleash change requests in ServiceNow, giving you an audit trail of changes that are created, approved, and applied in Unleash.

v8.0.0

Unleash v8.0.0

If you self-host Unleash, review the v7 to v8 migration guide before you upgrade. No API endpoints were removed, but several deprecated schema properties have been.

Announcement: Unleash open source moves to AGPLv3

Starting with Unleash v8, the source code in the primary Unleash GitHub repository and the unleash-server npm package move from the Apache 2.0 license to the GNU Affero General Public License v3 (AGPLv3).

Most users are unaffected:

• Official open-source Docker images remain under Apache 2.0. Running a pre-built Unleash container without modifying the source is unaffected.
• Unleash SDKs keep their current permissive licenses, so your application code is unaffected.
• Unleash Enterprise and Unleash Cloud are unaffected. Your deployment, terms, and obligations are unchanged.

The change applies if you modify the Unleash source and make it available to users over a network, for example as a public or commercial SaaS. In that case, AGPLv3 requires you to make your modified source available under the same license, or to contact us for a commercial license. For the full reasoning and a use-case breakdown, see Evolving our open source commitment.

Automated release management now generally available

Release templates, impact metrics, safeguards, and milestone progression are now generally available.

Impact metrics are application-level time series, such as counters, gauges, and histograms for error rates, latency, and adoption. They can be recorded by Unleash SDKs or queried from an existing Prometheus or VictoriaMetrics instance. Safeguards let you set thresholds on those metrics that automatically pause a rollout or disable an environment when a metric crosses the limit. Milestone progression advances a release template to its next milestone when the metrics stay healthy for a configured interval, removing the need to step rollouts forward manually.

Remote MCP server now generally available

The remote Unleash MCP server is now generally available. It lets you connect MCP clients to a server hosted by your Unleash instance, without installing anything locally. Use it when developers cannot run MCP servers on their machines, or when you want to manage MCP access centrally.

Streaming between Unleash and Edge in beta

Unleash Edge can now receive flag updates from Unleash as a real-time stream instead of polling. Flag changes propagate to your Edge nodes, and to your applications, in milliseconds. Streaming is available on both managed and self-hosted Enterprise Edge.

Improved project onboarding

We've further improved the project onboarding experience. The project page now shows a three-step Project setup checklist that tracks creating a feature flag, connecting one or more SDKs, and sending flag evaluation metrics back to Unleash. On the flag page, a contextual banner points you to the next step based on your current setup state. SDK setup now also works for any SDK you add to a project, not only the first one.

Redesigned access overview

The access overview page is redesigned to give admins and individual users a clearer view of a user's instance and project access in one place.

New sunset flag type

We introduced a new sunset flag type to help you coordinate the planned removal of an existing feature. Use it to wrap a feature you plan to retire, so you can gradually disable it for selected user segments while monitoring the impact, and pause or re-enable the rollout if downstream issues surface.
