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.
