Improved domain verification
Improved domain verification
Domain verification serves multiple purposes across GitLab. Previously, in order to verify a domain, you had to complete the GitLab Pages wizard, even if you were verifying a domain for a purpose outside of GitLab Pages.
Now, domain verification lives at the group level, and has been streamlined. This makes it easier to verify your domains.
Password reset email sent to any verified email address
Password reset email sent to any verified email address
If you forget your GitLab password, you can now reset it by email with any verified email address. Previously, only the primary email address was used for reset requests. This made it difficult to complete the password reset process if the primary email inbox was inaccessible.
More detail in completed GitHub project import summary
More detail in completed GitHub project import summary
When a GitHub project finished importing, GitLab showed a simple summary of imported entities. However, GitLab didn’t show exactly which GitHub entities failed to import nor errors that caused the import failures. This made it difficult to decide if import results were satisfactory or not.
In this release, we have extended the import summary to include a list of GitHub entities that weren’t imported and, if possible, provide a direct link to these entities on GitHub. GitLab now also shows an error for each failure. This helps you understand how well the import worked and helps you troubleshoot problems.
Show external user as a comment author in Service Desk issues
Show external user as a comment author in Service Desk issues
When a requester replies to a Service Desk email, it is useful to the Service Desk agent to know who made the comment. But because the requester can be an external user with no GitLab account or access to the GitLab project, these comments were previously attributed to the GitLab Support Bot. From now on, email replies from requesters will be attributed to the external users, making it more clear who made the comments in the GitLab issue.
