This inheritance model was too broad for customers who wished to apply different, more flexible requirements to non-regulated projects. Previously, when an administrator configured the merge request settings in the Admin Area, all projects in the instance inherited those settings. If you'd like to preview what's coming in the next release, be sure to check out our 13.3 kickoff video!
An important development for package management that's worth noting: GitLab now supports the PHP dependency manager, Composer, so you can discover, share, and install PHP dependencies using GitLab's Composer Repository with ease. There’s never enough space to highlight all the great features in our releases. Last but not least, GitLab includes CI test results within Release Evidence for easy access in the event you need to provide compliance data or a more efficient way to show relevant changes to production during audit. GitLab Geo helps remote teams work more efficiently by using a local GitLab node, and now offers improved replication performance for projects to ensure local content is fresh. Nowadays, it seems like everyone is working from home and are "distributed" more than ever. Application performance is a challenge every development team faces and now load performance testing in GitLab makes it easy to run custom load tests as part of your CI/CD pipelines to better understand how your application will perform under stress. You can now take advantage of advanced global search on, a capability that improves search relevancy, performance, and allows for group-wide searches across all projects directly in the UI. Improved performance and efficiencyġ3.2 delivers new updates to improve your team's efficiency and performance. It's now easier to find designs in an issue so it takes less time, and the official GitLab Figma plugin simplifies the process of uploading from Figma to issues on. Now you don't have to remember all of the parameters when configuring your CI pipeline or switch contexts to get the information you need.ĭesigners are incredibly important members of the team and 13.2 includes great improvements to design management. gitlab-ci.yml in the Web IDE makes updating your CI pipeline more efficient by enabling realtime linting and autocompletion. The ability to diff changes for wiki pages now makes edit history comparisons between page versions quicker and simpler, similar to viewing files in a repository. Better collaboration for faster feedbackĬlear communication is key to effective collaboration because it enables development teams to get faster feedback on changes before pushing them to production.
When you need to update several related epics, you can now bulk edit epics to reduce your "tab overload" and the number of clicks it takes to update. If you're using epics to plan and manage large projects, then you can now protect sensitive content with confidential epics. If your team leverages Jira for project management, it's now easier for you to view Jira issues in GitLab because we believe that GitLab should play well with others and balance integrations with native capabilities. In releasing our Minimal Viable Change (MVC) of iterations to break down work into smaller, more manageable, chunks, we're lessening this disruption and making project planning easier – with many enhancements to come. Managing workflows and planning tasks for different teams can add a significant amount of development disruption to your day. Streamline agile project planning and management GitLab 13.2 now helps teams streamline project planning with milestone iterations, collaborate better for faster feedback with diff changes for wiki pages, and improve overall performance/efficiency with load performance testing.
