GITLAB 4.0 released
Hi everyone!
Finally we released GITLAB v4.0.0!
There are a lot of changes so we introduce you to the important one
Application behaviour changes:
- New projects will be namespaced (ex. gitlab/vagrant )
- Every group got own directory in gitolite
- All projects of group will be moved under group directory ( git remote should be updated )
- Projects w/o groups will stay with same remote
- User got username ( For existing users it will be generated based on email )
- User create project under his username ( ex. randx/my-project )
- User can change username. All projects under his username will be moved
- Group got owner
- Owner can create projects within group
- Owner can access every project within a group
- Admin can transfer any project from one namespace(group, user, global) to another
- Group or user is a namespace for project. Owner of namespace is an owner of project
Other changes
- Better PostgreSQL support
- Added email notification on project move
- Fixed email notification on issue close/reopen
- Reorganized settings
- Fixed commits compare
- Update the UI to allow downloading Patch or Diff for Commit, MR
- Milestones can be closed now. Milestone stays open unless you close it
- Show comment events on dashboard
- Quick add team members via group#people page
- UI improvements
- In admin area projects, users and groups sorted alphabetically
- Issue management page on dashboard improved
- Better integration with GitLab CI ( requires GitLab CI v1.1.1 )
What we removed in 4.0:
- gitolite 2 support
- SQLite support (I like it but this database got locked when several users use gitlab at once)
- API v2 support (its simply incompatible with namespaced projects)
What should be updated during migration:
- gitlab.yml config
- gitolite post-receive hooks
- permissions on /home/git/repositories/
- python2 symlink
