--- title: "GitLab CE 6.4 released" date: 2013-12-21 12:20 author: Dmitriy Zaporozhets categories: releases community: true --- ### GitLab CE 6.4 released! Hello everyone! As you know GitLab is open source software to collaborate on code. Today we released a new version of GitLab Community Edition (CE), with new features, bug fixes, stability improvements and Rails 4 under the hood. This month we have 2 MVPs because both of them contributed awesome stuff to GitLab 6.4. Steven Thonus brought us the side-by-side diff view and the ability to archive old projects. Jason Hollingsworth contributed the new 'internal projects' feature. ### Internal projects Internal projects can be cloned and browsed by any logged in user. It will also be listed on the public access directory for logged in users.

[![screenshot](/images/6_4/diff.png)](/images/6_4/diff.png) ### Archive old projects Archiving a project will mark its repository as read-only. It is hidden from the dashboard and it does not show up in searches. [![screenshot](/images/6_4/arch.png)](/images/6_4/arch.png) Archived projects you have access to will still be listed on your profile page (gitlab.example.com/u/my_user). ### Project webhooks Project webhooks were extended with new types of events. Webhooks can now also be triggered when an issue is created or a merge request is closed.

This means you will be able to upgrade to next version (6.5) with just one command.
