The global settings now provide a dedicated Release flags section.

Release flags are temporary, time-limited switches that let you opt in to new functionality during development. Each flag is scheduled for removal in a specific Checkmk version and must not be relied on for permanent configuration.

When no release flags are available for your version, the section stays hidden, so on a release without release flags you will not notice any change. The flag state is stored centrally and is automatically distributed to remote sites in distributed monitoring setups.
