Today we are releasing version 8.12.6 for GitLab Community Edition (CE) and
Enterprise Edition (EE).

Version 8.12.6 contains a fix for the mail_room package not being included in
the package. This update is only necessary for users who use mail_room for
Reply by email.

Please read on for more details.

<!-- more -->

- **CE/EE:** Update mail_room to 0.8.1 in Gemfile.lock ([!6814])

## 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).
