### GitLab 5.2 released

Hi everyone!

Today we release GitLab v5.2. We added forks, code search, turbolinks and much more awesome stuff.

### The 4 most important improvements in GitLab 5.2

1. Forking. You can a fork project into its own namespace now.
2. Code search. You search inside the project with a search bar on top panel.
3. Turbolinks. GitLab is much faster because almost all requests does not reload the page.
4. Shared deploy keys. You can use a deploy key for as many projects as you need and one project can use multiple keys.

This release most valuable person (MVP) is __Angus MacArthur__ for contributing the forking feature, thanks Angus!
