Mayra Cabrera requested to merge fixes-blog-post-independent-rake-task into master

What does this MR do and why?

Today we are releasing versions 15.11.4 for GitLab Community Edition and Enterprise Edition.

These versions resolve a number of regressions and bugs.

## GitLab Community Edition and Enterprise Edition

### 15.11.4

* [Do not autofocus the description field](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/merge_requests/120306)
* [Adapt MR widget to support fail-closed approval rules](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/merge_requests/120131)

## Important notes on upgrading

This version does not include any new migrations, and for multi-node deployments, [should not require any downtime](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/update/#upgrading-without-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`](http://docs.gitlab.com/omnibus/update/README.html) file,
which is only used for [updates](https://docs.gitlab.com/omnibus/update/README.html).

## Updating

To update, check out our [update page](/update/).

## GitLab subscriptions

Access to GitLab Premium and Ultimate features is granted by a paid [subscription](/pricing/).

Alternatively, [sign up for GitLab.com](https://gitlab.com/users/sign_in)
to use GitLab's own infrastructure.
