We're super excited with GitLab 8.5. It's much faster, no matter the size of your instance (but especially for larger instances). The Todos, ability to revert commits and CNAME support for Pages, are things that have been much requested and we're happy to have now. As always, we're here if anyone has any questions about anything.

I'm not sure I like this trend. While I understand some features GitLab may feel its worth a "second license" fee, it sets a bad precedent.

I've moved all my private repos to Gitlab based on the chat on here and other places recently RE Github, Gitlab, and other solutions. I'm very happy overall, the interface is great. It's a bit slower than github currently (the web interface) as I'm using the online version rather than self hosted, but apart from that it's really bloody good. I'll be recommending it to others going forward and using it for all new rep…

What procedures did you follow to move your private repos over? I have been using private, self hosted git for years now. Were you able to move things over and keep commit history? (since I guess that's the only feature I currently have.)
