## Managing releases just got a whole lot easier
{: .intro-header}

GitLab 11.7 delivers [Releases](#publish-releases-for-your-projects) in GitLab Core. Users now have release snapshots that not only include the source code but _all_ related artifacts.
This eliminates the need for manual collection of source code, build output, and other metadata or artifacts associated with a released version of your code. Additionally, Releases sets the stage for broader, more robust release orchestration in the future.

## Portfolio Management supports more complex work breakdown structures
{: .intro-header}

[Multi-level Child Epics](#multi-level-child-epics) are the newest addition to GitLab portfolio management, available in Ultimate. Child Epics enable multi-level work breakdown structures, helping you manage more complex projects and workplans. You can now have an epic containing both issues and epics.
This structure enables a direct connection between planning and actionable issues to implement.

## Streamlining JavaScript development with NPM registries
{: .intro-header}

Gitlab 11.7 Premium delivers [NPM registries](#npm-registry) directly in GitLab, providing a standard, more secure way to share and version control NPM packages across projects. Simply share the package name and NPM and GitLab handles the rest, all within a single interface!

## And so much more
{: .intro-header}

It is always so hard to pick which features are our top features in our monthly releases, so we are calling out a couple of additional cool features:

* [**Remediate vulnerability with patch file**](#remediate-vulnerability-with-patch-file): As you know, GitLab security features help you to detect vulnerabilities. With GitLab 11.7, you now have the ability to remediate that vulnerability and suggest a solution for Node.js projects managed with Yarn. While this is our first official remediation-type feature, you can be sure it is only just the beginning!

* [**API integration with Kubernetes**](#api-support-for-kubernetes-integration): If you are into creating _a lot_ of Kubernetes clusters or consider yourself a Kubernetes ninja, we have a Kubernetes API to greatly reduce manual efforts and make your life a whole lot easier!

* [**Cross-project pipeline browsing**](#cross-project-pipeline-browsing): With the ability to view pipelines across projects, the sky's the limit on what information is readily at your fingertips with this feature!
