GitLab 8.8 发布了，更新如下：

pipelines

GitLab具有强大的持续集成内置。无需切换到另一个应用程序，无需兼顾权限和访问，只需要使用GitLab。

之前，你已经可以定义复杂的管道，在GitLab8.8，GitLab CI将这些管道可视化，所以你可以看到事情的进展。

新的管道视图：

.gitignore templates

在GitLab8.8中，创建.gitignore文件要简单得多。当创建Web界面的文件时，GitLab将自动为您显示一个下拉菜单，你可以从许多不同的模板中选择适用于您的.gitignore文件。

GitHub Importer 改进

在 GitLab 8.8中进一步提高 GitHub importer ，将进口引入请求带有了丢失的源或目标分支。

新的快捷方式

• On a project: i To navigate to New Issue page.

• On a issuable: l To open Label dropdown on a issuable.

• Global: Typing ? multiple times now toggles the modal.

切换空白变化

在UI中增加了一个按钮：

UI 改进

其他更新

• Suppress Text File diffs through .gitattributes

• Milestone references in Markdown

• Health Check

Performance 更新

• Use tag_exists? in GitAccess#protected_tag?: improves SSH/HTTPS pushing performance by only checking a single Git tag upon push instead of all existing Git tags (mostly noticeable on projects with lots of tags)

• Cleaned up/tweaked Project#open_branches and Improve multiple branch push performance by memoizing permission checking: improves SSH/HTTPS pushing performance by cutting down the time spent in checking if branches are protected or not

• Removed tracking of total method execution times: total method execution timings are no longer tracked by GitLab Performance Monitoring

• Instrument all Grape API helpers: GitLab Performance Monitoring now instruments all Grape API helpers

Uptime changes:

• Added helper methods for database migrations and Move generator templates to generator_templates/: upgrading from GitLab 8.7.x to GitLab 8.8.0 does not require any downtime as all migrations can now be performed without stopping your GitLab instance. The goal for future releases is to also allow online upgrades unless downtime is an absolute requirement.
