| Overview of the three main improvements in this release: 1. Pipelines on the Operations Dashboard
The Operations Dashboard allows users to have an overview of project information throughout the entire GitLab instance. You add individual projects, one by one, so it’s flexible to whichever specific projects are of interest. Also, the pipeline status information is added to the Operations Dashboard. This should help teams view the pipeline health of all the projects that they care about, together in a single interface. [1] 2. Pipelines for Merged Results
When working in a feature (source) branch, it’s normal to have it diverge over time from the target branch if you aren’t rebasing frequently. This can result in a situation where both the source and target branch’s pipelines are green and there are no merge conflicts, but the combined output will result in a failed pipeline due to an incompatibility between the changes. By having your merge request pipeline automatically create a new ref that contains the combined merge result of the source and target branch, then running the pipeline against that ref, GitLab can better ensure that the combined result will be valid.Please note that if you are using merge request pipelines (in any capacity) and you use private GitLab runners that are version 11.8 or older, you will need to upgrade them to avoid running into the issue described in gitlab-ee#11122. Users of GitLab’s shared Runner fleet are not impacted. [2] 3. Suggest changes to multiple lines
Collaborating on merge requests often involves spotting problems and suggesting a solution. In GitLab 11.6, we introduced support for suggesting a change to a single line. With 11.10, changes can now be suggested to multiple lines when leaving a comment on a merge request diff, and accepted with a single click, by any user with write permissions to the source branch.
