As of 6.1 issue numbers are project specific. This means all issues are renumbered and get a new number in their URL. If you use an old issue number URL and the issue number does not exist yet you are redirected to the new one. This conversion does not trigger if the old number already exists for this project, this is unlikely but will happen with old issues and large projects.

## Editable labels
In GitLab 7.2 we replace Issue and Merge Request tags with labels, making it
possible to edit the label text and color. The characters '?', '&' and ',' are
no longer allowed however so those will be removed from your tags during the
database migrations for GitLab 7.2.
