About SupportBee
SupportBee's public changelog hasn't moved since 2019 — the product appears dormant.
All four ingested SupportBee entries are from early 2019: a UI refresh, an autocomplete tweak in the ticket reply form, a Customer Groups feature for the Enterprise plan, and the meta-announcement of starting a changelog. There has been no public release activity in the seven years since.
