@dblessing: Please update the version in IRC title to 8.6.2. Thanks!

@rymai I think we can close this one out?

It's kind of confusing that 8.6.3 is closed but 8.6.2 is still open.

Marked the task Upgrade the #gitlab channel's topic on IRC Freenode with the latest version number as completed

Status changed to closed

@rspeicher There was item not done (Upgrade the #gitlab channel's topic on IRC Freenode with the latest version number), but since 8.6.3 is released, it's now outdated.

@dmoore1 The Release issues are meant to be used by the release manager, it doesn't reflect the official release status (though, technically, once the Check that packages are [built][omnibus-gitlab-builds] and appear under [gitlab/gitlab-ee] and [gitlab/gitlab-ce] on https://packages.gitlab.com item is checked, the release is available). Official releases are announced on our blog: https://about.gitlab.com/2016/03/30/gitlab-8-dot-6-dot-2-released/ ;)
