## Upgrade barometer
This version does not include any new migrations, and 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-migrations`
file](http://doc.gitlab.com/omnibus/update/README.html).
