From 7.1 to 7.2
Make sure you view this upgrade guide from the master branch for the most up to date instructions.
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.
