What's new in 2025.3

Breaking Changes

• 9447 - Breaking change: Update the way the tags and excludedTags query parameters are set on the tenants overview page. If you are using a saved link with multiple tags in the same tag set filter, you'll need to re-apply these filters and re-save the link as the URL format has changed
