We're really excited about all the polish in this release. If you have any questions please let me know. Plans for GitLab 8.8 next month are massive. The plans include a delivery pipeline view and a container image registry https://about.gitlab.com/direction/
I am on the verge of migrating to Gitlab, excited to try the new build out.
Are you planning on releasing the improved search capabilities into the CE branch; if so when?
Thanks
We're not planning to release the Elasticsearch functionality for EE. But if there is anything we can easily do to improve searching in CE we're open to that.
