New releasepost look + Release post 9.0

@marcia please take a look when you have time

@dimitrieh it looks great! No normal process beyond merging if it is an improvement to what is already there and this definitely is. Are there any new things writers need to take into consideration when writing release posts using this new style?

Looks awesome @dimitrieh . Reminds me of http://www.apple.com/macos/sierra/

Awesome @dimitrieh!

The use of div's in markdown is always really weird, but this looks pretty clean, all things considered.

@JobV does the release posts.

Personally, I think I'd like to see the CE and EE labels appear to the right of the feature title rather than the left.

The spacing of the single column text vs image feels weird (they're no the same width). I know there are good reasons to keep the text width smaller than max, but it feels arbitrary in the screenshot. especially the image then looks to be a different arbitrary size.

Two-column text with image looks great.

This looks really nice!!

I agree, the EE label would be nice to the right so that the new feature is the "star."

On the labels topic, should we consider only having an EE label OR adding a .com label? My concern is that having CE and EE labels makes me instantly wonder about GitLab.com. I know that .com runs EE but new users reading this post may not know that right away.

@markpundsack @amara i think bringing the labels to the right could be the way to go! will try it out (really simple css change anyway :) )

@markpundsack the idea there was to give images the head light and make use of otherwise unused white space ;) (for wide enough viewports of course!)

@amara I was wondering about that as well.. also with future subscriptions in mind, we may need more labels then just ce/ee... i think for now it would be best to just state either ce or ee... stating the minimum required for it to be in your gitlab licence

@marcia @JobV perhaps we can hold this off/work slowly and work on this for the 9.0 release? (to give it a bigger splash!)

Thanks @dimitrieh! It's awesome!

I think it's a good idea, yeah :)

Also, as you mentioned, I think we need to consider how we're gonna label EE-only features considering we'll have different versions of EE and .com.

And, I'd replace <div> with <section>, for semantic SEO reasons. :)

added blog label

cc/ @regisF I'd milestone it to 9.0 :)

This is targeted for 9.0 right? Is the code for this MR just an example?

Will we have a similar WIP for 9.0 in the new format? Could we get that ready soon so we can start putting in at least placeholders? We already know a good number of features that will are targeting for 9.0.

We can use this WIP for 9.0, or we close that one and start a new one. https://gitlab.com/gitlab-com/www-gitlab-com/merge_requests/4780

Thanks @iamphill! @jivanvl when ready to review, would please assign to Phil, so he can take a look at the frontend? I'll be able to come back here by the end of next week ;)
