Hi,
Gitlab (and buildbot) will be down for about 20 minutes to an hour starting
around 5:30 while we upgrade to 8.0.
New features with 8.0 include:
- new UI design;
- separate tabs for "closed" and "merged" MRs;
- all of our existing patches merged (though we need another for some bits
new features missed);
- better performance (apparently gitlab used to keep 2 clones per repo; now
it is only one);
- added refs for merge requests as refs/merge-requests/:id from the target
repository; and
- ability to upload files to issues and merge requests.
We will be working to enable another feature, reply-by-email where you can add
a Gitlab comment by replying to any notification email.
Also, LWN has an article about it in this week's edition:
