Today we are releasing versions 8.11.7, 8.10.10 and 8.9.10 for GitLab Community
Edition (CE) and Enterprise Edition (EE).
Version 8.11.7 contains a security fix for GitLab, plus fixes for minor
regressions. Version 8.10.10 and 8.9.10 only contain the security fix.
Please read on for more details.
- **CE/EE:** Avoid conflict with admin labels when importing GitHub labels. ([!6158])
- **CE/EE:** Restores `fieldName` to allow only string values in `gl_dropdown.js`. ([!6234])
- **CE/EE:** Allow the Rails cookie to be used for API authentication. ([#18302])
- **EE:** Refactor Protected Branches dropdown. ([!687])
- **EE:** Fix mirrored projects allowing empty import urls. ([!700])

## Information disclosure through `gon.private_token` JavaScript variable
The private user token was available through the `gon.private_token` JavaScript
variable, leading to a potential security risk since it could be stolen through
XSS or other attacks.
See [the issue][#18302] for more information.
## Upgrade barometer
This version has no 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).
