GitLab Patch Release: 15.8.3

Today we are releasing version 15.8.3 for GitLab Community Edition and Enterprise Edition.

This version resolves a number of regressions and bugs in this month's 15.8 release and prior versions.

GitLab Community Edition and Enterprise Edition

• Deprecate backup upload using Openstack Swift and Rackspace APIs
• Note about Openstack and Rackspace API removal
• Updating nav and top level
• Update feature flag status of GitHub gists feature
• What's New post for 15.8
• Add version note to email feature
• Revert changes on wiki replication/verification legacy code
• Handle client disconnects better in workhorse
• Attempt reading schema file instead of a file named #{report_version}
• Upgrade Alert - Add proper API support

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.
