Download GitLab 11.7

You can compare GitLab with the more famous GitHubbut contains some subtle differences. It is an environment for managing Git repositories on-premises and is released under the MIT Expat license and developed in Ruby on Rails. It is available in two versions, the free-to-use Community Edition and a paid Enterprise Edition, with more features aimed at large businesses. The two flavors are on this page explained. The development team has released GitLab 11.7 and the release notes for this release can be found below.

Managing releases just got a whole lot easier

GitLab 11.7 delivers releases in GitLab Core. Users now have release snapshots that not only include the source code but all related artifacts. This eliminates the need for manual collection of source code, build output, and other metadata or artifacts associated with a released version of your code. Additionally, Releases sets the stage for broader, more robust release orchestration in the future.

Portfolio Management supports more complex work breakdown structures

Multi-level Child Epics are the newest addition to GitLab portfolio management, available in Ultimate. Child Epics enable multi-level work breakdown structures, helping you manage more complex projects and workplans. You can now have an epic containing both issues and epics. This structure enables a direct connection between planning and actionable issues to implement.

Streamlining JavaScript development with NPM registries

Gitlab 11.7 Premium delivers NPM registries directly in GitLab, providing a standard, more secure way to share and version control NPM packages across projects. Simply share the package name and NPM and GitLab handles the rest, all within a single interface!

And so much more

It is always so hard to pick which features are our top features in our monthly releases, so we are calling out a couple of additional cool features:

• Remediate vulnerability with patch file: As you know, GitLab security features help you to detect vulnerabilities. With GitLab 11.7, you now have the ability to remediate that vulnerability and suggest a solution for Node.js projects managed with Yarn. While this is our first official remediation-type feature, you can be sure it is only just the beginning!

• API integration with Kubernetes: If you are into creating a lot of Kubernetes clusters or consider yourself a Kubernetes ninja, we have a Kubernetes API to greatly reduce manual efforts and make your life a whole lot easier!

• Cross-project pipeline browsing: With the ability to view pipelines across projects, the sky’s the limit on what information is readily at your fingertips with this feature!
