Changes the narrative of patch release blog posts

Mayra Cabrera requested to merge skip-bug-or-security-fixes-on-blog-post into master

What does this MR do and why?

Blog posts for patch releases can be of two types:

  • A blog post including bug and security fixes for the three versions included in the Maintenance Policy
  • A blog post for a single version that only includes bug fixes (this case will be unlikely).

The above lead to:

  • A new method in the Coordinator class to determine if the blog post corresponds to a single version
  • A new method in the Coordinator class to determine the general patch release pressure
  • Above methods were embedded in the blog post class to determine the blog post type: single or multiple versions, and to determine if the blog posts include bug and security fixes.
  • Additionally, since blog posts are always performed on the handbook repo, the project was transformed into an instance method and removed as an argument.
  • Specs and templates were updated to follow the new terminology

Today we are releasing versions 16.10.2 for GitLab Community Edition and Enterprise Edition.

These versions resolve a number of regressions and bugs.

GitLab Community Edition and Enterprise Edition

16.10.2

Important notes on upgrading

This version 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.

title: "GitLab Security Release: 16.10.2, 16.9.4, 16.8.6" categories: releases author: ADD_YOUR_FULL_NAME author_gitlab: mayra-cabrera author_twitter: gitlab description: "Learn more about GitLab Security Release: 16.10.2, 16.9.4, 16.8.6 for GitLab Community Edition (CE) and Enterprise Edition (EE)." canonical_path: '/releases/2024/03/30/security-release-gitlab-16-10-2-released.html.md' image_title: '/images/blogimages/security-cover-new.png' tags: security

Today we are releasing versions 16.10.2, 16.9.4, 16.8.6 for GitLab Community Edition (CE) and Enterprise Edition (EE).

These versions contain important bug and security fixes, and we strongly recommend that all GitLab installations be upgraded to one of these versions immediately. GitLab.com is already running the patched version.

GitLab releases patches for vulnerabilities in dedicated security releases. There are two types of security releases: a monthly, scheduled security release, released a week after the feature release (which deploys on the 3rd Thursday of each month), and ad-hoc security releases for critical vulnerabilities. For more information, you can visit our security FAQ. You can see all of our regular and security release blog posts here.

For security fixes, the issues detailing each vulnerability are made public on our issue tracker 30 days after the release in which they were patched.

We are dedicated to ensuring all aspects of GitLab that are exposed to customers or that host customer data are held to the highest security standards. As part of maintaining good security hygiene, it is highly recommended that all customers upgrade to the latest security release for their supported version. You can read more best practices in securing your GitLab instance in our blog post.

Recommended Action

We strongly recommend that all installations running a version affected by the issues described below are upgraded to the latest version as soon as possible.

When no specific deployment type (omnibus, source code, helm chart, etc.) of a product is mentioned, this means all types are affected.
