We're pleased to announce the general availability for universal tagging of packages!
Why should you care? Tags, which are little snippets of keywords that you can attach to packages, are an excellent way of organising your packages for different reasons. You can now manage and search for tags via the API, the CLI and the UI, which makes management a breeze.
You can tag packages during upload, or you can tag them later on. A common use-case is to tag a package based on its category or function, such as it is a "third-party" "vendored" "library", but you could also tag it based on how/where you use the package (e.g. it is "deployed" in the "auth-app" layer).
You can also add them to entitlement tokens, to limit what your customers have access to download. For example, you can tag your packages in such a way that standard edition customers only have access to the "standard" packages, but pro edition customers have access to both "standard" and "pro" packages.

Introducing fully-semantic version searching for packages; via the UI, API, CLI and entitlement tokens.
With semantic versions, Cloudsmith understands the difference between versions, in terms of how a version is represented. For example, we know that 10.2.0 is MAJOR version 10, MINOR version 2 and PATCH version 0 and that 10.2.0 is a higher versi…
We are very pleased to announce that upstream proxying and caching for the Maven package format is now available!
Proxying allows requests for packages not found within your Cloudsmith repository to be directed to another location. Maven Central has been supported as a proxy location for a while now on Cloudsmith - but from today, you can now spec…
In order to streamline things for exciting changes coming up, we've restyled the package detail and package list pages. If you've got a keen eye, you'll also notice that the tags have been restyled too and that there's an extra sneaky edit tags button on the package detail page at the top-right. More details to follow next week!
