Re: Gitlab 13.10 Released
#2We try to make a little bit of progress on many features each month. So most of the time we won't have any giant new features, progress happens iteratively. You might also notice lots of deprecations as we get closer to 14.0 (immediately after 13.11) Happy to answer any questions.

#3I like Gitlab's OSS philosophy and documentation (including these lengthy release notes) a lot.
If there's one feature I really miss in Gitlab than the limited issue trackers. Despite Jira is still the "go-to" solution in many companies, I feel that many try to avoid that monster of a software, especially since Atlassian no more offers a self-hosted variant. I'd love to see more things like GANTT charts included (there is only a Kanban board display for issues, not yet some Waterfall or agile/GANTT board).

#4I really like how GitLab is shaping up. I hope they start getting a bit more mind share from GitHub, but I think they really shot themselves in the foot with that recent pricing change. [1]
Having to pay the same amount per license, for folks that just want to create/edit or even just view issues, as a full blown developer is simply not tractable. There's a lot of value in the platform and all else equal I'd probably pick GitLab if I had to choose between GitLab, GitHub, BitBucket, JetBrains Space, or Shudder Azure DevOps.
But the price. Damn, it's just impossible to make that argument to yourself, never mind your CTO.

Why isn't the what's new section in Gitlab updated for 13.10? It still says "13.9 (Your Version)".
EDIT: That is, the one under the help tab in a Gitlab instance on the top right.

An issue for us is that we need to provide outside users access to support tickets. Gitlab has Service Desk, but it's useful only if it's just your engineering team looking at the issues. Service Desk issues often need attention from someone outside the engineering team, though.
There's a steep step-up from Premium (which we are at) to Ultimate to get guest accounts, but even with guest accounts, we'd need to separate access of service desk tickets from internal tickets.

It does feel like Gitlab strategically keeps certain things out of the OSS product, like limiting the issues to two states.

#9I am curious, at what point will the features stop? Do we keep adding features until Gitlab becomes impossibly complex to use or onboard anyone? Why isn't Gitlab built like a modular app - add what you want but core should be simple as possible and feature complete. I am afraid but this is how a lot of applications die. Gitlab is starting to get bulky and obese already.

I feel like it's already .. kind of there. There are so many features that I'm lost in them, and some of them feel like they've been abandoned already.
