<p>There are several paths that GitLab uses to access certain features. With the introduction of nested groups these features could become unavailable for projects or groups with names that conflict with these paths. For example:for a project called 'badges' the build and coverage status badges would become unavailable.
<p>To avoid confusion, it is now no longer possible to create projects or groups with names that could clash with existing GitLab routes.
<p>If you had any projects or groups named like one of these routes, they will have been automatically renamed during the upgrade. A project named <code>badges</code> would be renamed to <code>badges0</code>.</p>
<p>Keep in mind that git-remotes would need to be updated locally as well. That can be done like this:</p>
<p>The full list of reserved words can be found in the <a href="https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/blob/master/app/validators/dynamic_path_validator.rb"><code>dynamic_path_validator.rb</code> file</a>.

<p>This release contains two changes to the usage ping:you can <a href="https://docs.gitlab.com/ce/user/admin_area/settings/usage_statistics.html#deactivate-the-usage-ping">now opt-out</a> of the usage ping through your configuration in <code>gitlab.rb</code>. This allows you to turn off the usage ping before having started GitLab. You were already able to opt-out through the administration panel and this remains the case.
In addition, we now include the hostname in the usage ping, similar to the <a href="https://docs.gitlab.com/ce/user/admin_area/settings/usage_statistics.html#version-check">version check</a>. For more, see <a href="https://docs.gitlab.com/ce/user/admin_area/settings/usage_statistics.html#usage-ping">the documentation on the usage ping</a>.</p>

<p>With every release of GitLab we look to make significant improvements to the performance. In GitLab 9.2, the following areas should see visible improvement:</p>
<ul>
<li>Listing groups</li>
<li>Listing projects</li>
<li>Listing merge requests</li>
<li>Listing milestones</li>
<li>Push mirrors should no longer put pressure on filesystem and sidekiq queues</li>
</ul>

# UPGRADE BAROMETER

description (supports HTML) Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisicing elit. Doloremque repellendus tempora voluptatibus est. Dignissimos nostrum, tenetur explicabo, iste aliquid sint expedita! Voluptas fugit natus voluptates ad recusandae maxime repellat blanditiis?
<p>To upgrade to GitLab 9.2, no downtime is required.</p>
<p>However to enable <a href="#auto-cancel-redundant-pipelines-now-set-to-on-for-all-projects">automatic cancellation of redundant pipelines</a> for all projects, the post deployment migration might take significant time depending on your installation size.</p>
<p>Starting with GitLab 9.1.0 it's possible to upgrade to a newer version of GitLab
without having to take your GitLab instance offline. However, for this to work
there are the following requirements:</p>
<ol>
<li>You can only upgrade 1 release at a time. For example, if 9.1.15 is the last
release of 9.1 then you can safely upgrade from that version to 9.2.0.
However, if you are running 9.1.14 you first need to upgrade to 9.1.15.</li>
<li>You have to use <a href="https://docs.gitlab.com/ce/development/post_deployment_migrations.html">post-deployment migrations</a>.</li>
<li>You are using PostgreSQL. If you are using MySQL you will still need downtime
when upgrading.</li>
</ol>
<p>This applies to major, minor, and patch releases unless stated otherwise in a
release post.</p>
<p>A new version of our API was released in <a href="https://about.gitlab.com/2017/03/22/gitlab-9-0-released/#api-v4">GitLab 9.0</a>.
While existing calls to API v3 will continue to work until August 2017, we
advise you to make any necessary changes to applications that use the v3 API.
