GitLab 11.10 arrives with enhanced streamline collaboration, pipelines for merged results & more

Punctual as always, at the end of each month GitLab comes back with a new release. Today, we take a look at the latest update with GitLab 11.10.

Among others, this month’s release brings new features that help developers monitor pipeline health across projects, run pipelines against merged results and more.

Let’s have a look at some of the highlights.

What’s new in GitLab 11.10

Pipelines on the Operations Dashboard – You can now view the pipeline health of the projects you want in a single interface.

Pipelines for merged results – Now, merge request pipeline automatically creates a new ref that contains the combined merge result of the source and target branch. It then runs the pipeline against this reference, ensuring that the combined result is valid.

Suggest changes to multiple lines – With this release, changes can be suggested to multiple lines when leaving a comment on a merge request diff.

More thorough Container Registry cleanup – Administrators now have an easier way to wipe out historical revisions and free up valuable storage space by using the -m parameter with registry-garbage-collect.

Composable Auto DevOps – Each job of Auto DevOps is now available as an independent template. This means that using the includes feature of GitLab CI, users can include only certain stages of Auto DevOps while continuing to use their own custom gitlab-ci.yml.
