Hi everyone!
Today we released new version of GitLab CI. We fixed some bugs, added new build status badges and some
Features:
Security
Fixes and improvements
In the last few months many people have donated to support the development of GitLab. We appreciate all these donations.
We would like to thank Futurice and INdigital Telecom for their generous donations. For Futurice it was their second donation to the GitLab project, great to see their continued support. They are a European provider of lean IT solutions. They already have Nokia, Vodefone and General Motors as clients, please consider joining their list of customers if you need an enterprise solution.
INdigital Telecom is from the United States, Fort Wayne in Indiana to be exact. They make sure that one someone calls the emergency services the connection always works. We think it is cool that besides sponsering the local softball team they also donated $1000 to improve GitLab.
INdigital Telecom has 10 developers working on about 100 projects using C, Python, Java and Php. They use GitLab as a software management and source code tracker contribution tool. With the issues and milestones functions they plan the project properly and make sure it is done on time. We’re pretty sure they are careful about the tools they use and we’re proud GitLab is among them.
We would also like to thank the other people that donated:

Hi everyone!
Today we released GitLab v4.2
We improved performance, fixed some bugs, added teams, users pages and more
Features:
Performance:
Permissions:
Misc:
Gitolite was a real help when we started with GitLab. It saves us a lot of work and provide a pretty functional solution.
But after time we understood – keep gitlab and gitolite synced is harder than build own solution.
GitLab Shell is my replacement for gitolite.
Basically it’s a few scripts on ruby and shell for managing /home/git/.ssh/authorized_keys and /home/git/repositories
You can find source code on github
Earlier we have 2 users for GitLab. gitlab for GitLab and git for gitolite.
Now its only one git user for GitLab and GitLab Shell
This is the directory structure you will end up with following the instructions in the Installation Guide.
|-- home
| |-- git
| |-- .ssh
| |-- gitlab
| |-- gitlab-satellites
| |-- gitlab-shell
| |-- repositories
Its was ~ 1000 lines of code related to gitolite inside of GitLab. And one library for parsing gitolite config.
Now it is only 150 lines of pretty simple code related to gitlab shell.
For https://gitlab.com we decreased project creation time in 10 times.
GitLab Shell does not store Access Control List. It asks GitLab for permissions via api.
No out of sync between GitLab and GitLab Shell == much stable backend solution.
You can update gitlab-shell just by git pull
You dont even need to restart gitlab service
Currently I’m working on migration docs to GitLab 5.0.0pre. You can find a draft here
Hi everyone!
Today we released GitLab v4.1.0.
We improved performance, fixed some bugs, added public repos and more
We have some very good news to share. From today onwards, Dmitriy Zaporozhets will work on GitLab development full time!
In the last year, GitLab has grown from a small project to a grown-up solution. Right now, more than 10.000 organizations have upgraded to GitLab 4.0! link
Dmitriy wants to give GitLab his full attention and continue giving the community great features each month. To do this, we will need your help. If you like GitLab and want to help with the development, please make a donation. Donation page
We replaced Resque with Sidekiq to proccess background jobs. Sidekiq uses threads instead of forks so it is much more efficient with memory compared to Resque.
We improved comments system, especially for merge requests. You see it shows a code related to comments
You can enable signup page.
GitLab allows you to open selected projects to be accessed publicly. These projects will be clonable without any authentication. Also they will be listed on the public access directory
