Releases: Sidebar navigation and per-asset download counts

UpdateJun 30, 2026VerifiedAdded Sep 22, 2026

You can now scan and navigate release pages more easily with a dedicated sidebar table of contents. We also updated release metadata placement for a more consistent layout so it’s easier to move between entries on long pages. Users with write access can also now see download counts per release asset directly in the Releases UI.

Per-user states for multi-user budgets in the REST API

You can now retrieve every user’s progress against a multi-user budget from a single REST API endpoint. This makes it much faster to find who is close to their limit across a large enterprise. Previously, you had to make one API call per user to check per-user consumption, and you couldn’t filter by how much of the budget someone had used.
