Milestones are now visible on project boards. If an issue or pull request belongs to a milestone, the name of the milestone will display on the project card as well as in the project card details sidebar. You can add or remove an issue or pull request from milestones using the details sidebar, and filter your project cards by milestones using the search bar.

Users with write access to two repositories can now use issue transfer to move issues between them. Previously, only users with admin permissions on both repositories had the ability to transfer issues.

In addition, we will no longer allow issues to be transferred from private to public repositories.
