14 DAY TRIAL // GitLab, a fast, secure, and stable solution based on Ruby on Rails & Gitolite and distributed under the MIT License, is now at version 7.1 and is ready for download.
GitLab doesn't shy away from admitting that it has been inspired by GitHub, and the project is even hosted there. It's been quite a while since the previous large update for this application, but the developers have made up for all that time by implementing some important changes.
“With this release we introduce Group Milestones. Group Milestones allow you to see a grouped list of milestones from all projects in a group. This makes working with multiple projects much easier. Also new are @all mentions in comments and improved code highlighting. In addition to the updates from Community Edition, GitLab Enterprise Edition received various bug fixes,” the dev says.
According to the changelog, Group milestones will now allow users to group milestones by titles, the milestone page now shows you all issues from all projects that have the same milestone name, the version number is now shown in the sidebar, a new login page has been implemented, the discussions have been improved considerably, and numerous other features have been implemented.
More details about this release can be found in the announcement. You can download GitLab 7.1 right now from official website.
