GitLab Community Edition and Enterprise Edition 16.7.3 Make chat_names table migration idempotent 16.6.5 Make chat_names table migration idempotent 16.5.7 Make chat_names table migration idempotent Important notes on upgrading This version fixes an issue with an existing migration that prevented upgrades from completing . It does not include any new migrations, and for multi-node deployments, should not require any downtime . Please be aware that by default the Omnibus packages will stop, run migrations, and start again, no matter how “big” or “small” the upgrade is. This behavior can be changed by adding a /etc/gitlab/skip-auto-reconfigure file, which is only used for updates . Updating To update, check out our update page . GitLab subscriptions Access to GitLab Premium and Ultimate features is granted by a paid subscription . Alternatively, sign up for GitLab.com to use GitLab’s own infrastructure.
