### GITLAB 2.9 released

Good news everyone!
I decided to release GITLAB v2.9 today :)

<!-- more -->

10 reasons to update:

* over 400 commits of awesome code
* We changed comments order(except wall)
* We added omniauth support(twitter, google...)
* Bunch of stuff fixed
* Refactored a lot of code
* We prepared gitlab for gitolite v3
* Emoji :smile:
* keep LDAP, OAuth setting in one place -> config/gitlab.yml
* Profile and Admin area got some new features
* More API

I've already updated my instance :)

I'd like to thank a community for bug reporting, contributing and patience.
