These versions resolve a number of regressions and bugs. This patch release does not include any security fixes.
GitLab Community Edition and Enterprise Edition
Bug Fixes
Important notes on upgrading
This version does not include any new migrations, and for multi-node deployments, should not require any downtime.
Please be aware that by default the Omnibus packages will stop, run migrations,
and start again, no matter how “big” or “small” the upgrade is. This behavior
can be changed by adding a /etc/gitlab/skip-auto-reconfigure
file,
which is only used for updates.
