GitLab 5.0 release

Yesterday, that is, on March 22, the release of version 5 of GitLab was released. GitLab is a great counterpart to such products as GitHub, Bitbucket. However, it is installed on your personal server and is completely under your control. This is a great solution for software development companies, web studios, or just for those who want to have their own git repository.



What is new in version 5.0? For more information, I ask under the cat.

Innovations:

• import repositories
  
  
• wiki pages are now stored in git repositories using the gollum library
• Added the ability to publish additional descriptions of groups, teams and projects.
• added ability to integrate with external bug tracking systems

Changes in dependencies:

• Gitolite replaced with gitlab-shell. Gitolite was used to distribute access rights to the repositories, the change allows you to use a separate database of virtual users with access to the repositories on the SSH key without creating a system account.

Security changes:

• use of secure links for attachments;
• Update required libraries;
• Improved protection against XSS attacks.

Well, and a few screenshots in the end:
