With an eye towards [CI/CD](/solutions/continuous-integration/)\nin particular, I'd like to take you through some of the highlights in each of our 11.x releases,\neach of which contributed to our strategy around cloud native CI/CD that has\nsecurity and smarts built right in, supports code reusability and live troubleshooting,\nand in general enables your team to make progress towards your goal of better, more\nreliable software delivery.\n\n![Release Badges](https://about.gitlab.com/images/blogimages/11x_release_logos.png){: .shadow.medium.center}\n\nFor those who don't know me, I'm the director of product for CI/CD and I've spent\nmy career (going all the way back to doing build automation of Windows 98 at my\nfirst corporate job) out of doing build and release automation and process. I love\nthis stuff, and my career move from building CI/CD implementations to building\nCI/CD tools for folks just like me has been one of the most rewarding things I've\ndone in my life. I hope that experience and passion comes through in the features\nwe've delivered – either way, I'd love to chat with you if you're a user of GitLab\nCI/CD. DM me on [Twitter](https://twitter.com/j4yav) or contact me via my [GitLab profile](https://gitlab.com/jyavorska) if you'd like to chat.\n\nAnyway, without further ado let's dive into the first 11.x release!\n\n## [GitLab 11.0](/releases/2018/06/22/gitlab-11-0-released/)\n\n### Auto DevOps Generally Available\n\nWe kicked off the 11.0 series in June 2018 by launching [Auto DevOps](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/topics/autodevops/).\nBeyond making it easy to host and collaborate on public and private repositories,\nGitLab also simplifies the rest of the process by offering the whole delivery toolchain,\nbuilt in and automated: Simply commit your code and Auto DevOps can do the rest.\nAuto DevOps is a pre-built, fully featured CI/CD pipeline that takes the best of\nGitLab CI/CD features, adds a lot of smarts around auto-detecting what's in your\nproject, and automates the entire delivery process to your Kubernetes cluster.\n\nCheck out our [quick-start guide](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/topics/autodevops/cloud_deployments/auto_devops_with_gke.html)\nif you haven't had a chance to play with it yet – you might be surprised what it's\ncapable of out of the box.\n\n![Auto DevOps](https://about.gitlab.com/images/11_0/auto-devops.png){: .shadow.medium.center}\n\n### Job logs in the Web IDE\n\nTying operational deployments/execution together with development is also a priority\nfor GitLab. In 11.0 we made the CI status of the current commit available in the status\nbar of the Web IDE, and made it possible to view the [status and the logs for each job on the right](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/project/web_ide/#view-ci-job-logs).\nThis made it easy to fix a merge request with CI failures by opening the failed job\nright alongside your code.\n\n![Web IDE trace](https://about.gitlab.com/images/11_0/web_ide_ci_trace.png){: .shadow.medium.center}\n\n### Other highlights\n\n- [CI/CD pipeline jobs integrated with the Web IDE](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/project/web_ide/#view-ci-job-logs)\n- [Variable-defined deployment policies for Canary deployments](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/topics/autodevops/#deploy-policy-for-canary-environments)\n- [Specify deployment strategy from Auto DevOps settings](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/topics/autodevops/#auto-deploy)\n\n---\n\n## [GitLab 11.1](/releases/2018/07/22/gitlab-11-1-released/)\n\n### Security reports in pipeline view\n\nSecurity was another important area of focus for us throughout the 11.x series. We\nalready had security reports in the MR before this release, but here we also\nadded status for branches so this information can be acted upon even earlier.\nGitLab 11.1 (July 2018) completed the [set of security reports shown in the pipeline view](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/project/merge_requests/#security-reports),\nadding both Container Scanning and DAST. From there you could now simply review\nthe Reports tab to access all security information and take action.\n\n![Security Reports](https://about.gitlab.com/images/11_1/security_reports.png){: .shadow.medium.center}\n\n### Other highlights\n\n- [Redesign of the merge request and pipeline info sections](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/project/merge_requests/)\n- [Improved Kubernetes cluster page design](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/project/clusters/)\n\n---\n\n## [GitLab 11.2](/releases/2018/08/22/gitlab-11-2-released/)\n\n### Custom templates at the instance level\n\nIn 11.2 (August 2018) we also introduced [custom templates at the instance level](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/administration/custom_project_templates.html),\nmaking it easy for organizations to set up a basic template for how they want\ntheir CI/CD pipelines to run. Development teams can grab a copy of the template\nand go, confident their following their organizational processes. Our enterprise\ncustomers are very important to us, and this feature came directly from the great\nfeedback we get from our customers.\n\n![Project Templates](https://about.gitlab.com/images/11_2/project-templates-instance.png){: .shadow.medium.center}\n\n### Kaniko for Docker Builds\n\nHistorically, building Docker images within a containerized environment had\nrequired compromises, using techniques like docker-in-docker on privileged\ncontainers. These solutions were often insecure and slow. In this release we\nmade the Runner compatible with [Kaniko](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/ci/docker/using_kaniko.html),\na new tool developed by Google which is able to securely build an image within\nan unprivileged container. Cloud-first build technology is so important for the\njourney we want to take with our users, and supporting these kinds of foundational\ntechnologies that make your life easier are so nice to deliver.\n\n![Kaniko](https://about.gitlab.com/images/11_2/kaniko.png){: .shadow.medium.center}\n\n### JUnit test results in merge requests\n\nFinally, testing will always be an important part of any CI/CD pipeline. With the 11.2 release,\nwe made it possible to [see JUnit test results directly](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/ci/testing/unit_test_reports.html)\nright from the CI view in the merge request widget, as part of our ongoing efforts\nto invest in full-spectrum integrated testing within GitLab.\n\n![JUnit Results](https://about.gitlab.com/images/feature_page/screenshots/junit-test-summaries-MR-widget.png){: .shadow.medium.center}\n\n### Other highlights\n\n- [GitLab Runner in cloud native Helm Chart](https://docs.gitlab.com/charts/)\n- [Built-in project templates switched to use Dockerfiles](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/project/working_with_projects.html#create-a-project)\n- [Manually stop an environment](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/ci/environments/index.html#stopping-an-environment)\n\n---\n\n## [GitLab 11.3](/releases/2018/09/22/gitlab-11-3-released/)\n\n### Built-in Maven package repository\n\nFor any development organization, having an easy and secure way to manage\ndependencies is critical. Package management tools, such as Maven for Java\ndevelopers, provide a standardized way to share and version control these\nlibraries across projects. In GitLab 11.3 (September 2018), we opened up [Maven repositories built directly into GitLab](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/packages/maven_repository/index.html).\nJava developers were now easily able to publish their packaged libraries to\ntheir project’s Maven repository: Just share a simple XML snippet with\nother teams looking to utilize that library, and Maven and GitLab will take care\nof the rest.\n\n![Maven Repo](https://about.gitlab.com/images/11_3/maven.png){: .shadow.medium.center}\n\n### Interactive Web Terminals\n\nCI/CD jobs are executed in the runner as part of pipelines, but this execution wasn't interactive.\nWhen they failed, it wasn't always easy to dig into details to spot the source of the problem.\n[Interactive web terminals](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/ci/interactive_web_terminal/)\nbrought the capability to connect to a running or completed job and manually enter\ncommands to understand what’s happening in the system, and helped us move the story\nforward on empowering teams to deliver code, troubleshoot, and solve issues directly.\n\n![Web Terminal](https://about.gitlab.com/images/11_3/verify-webterm.png){: .shadow.medium.center}\n\n### Better includes with `extends` keyword\n\nReusing CI/CD code is a great way to help ensure consistency in software delivery,\nand also minimizes the amount of per-job scripting that’s needed to write and\nmaintain. As of 11.11, we began offering a powerful alternative approach\nfor code reuse in templates using [YAML `extends` keywords](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/ci/yaml/#extends),\nexpanding upon our vision for reusability and compliance in the enterprise.\n\n![Extends](https://about.gitlab.com/images/11_3/verify-includes.png){: .shadow.medium.center}\n\n### Other highlights\n\n- [Protected environments](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/ci/environments/protected_environments.html)\n- [Auto DevOps enabled by default](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/topics/autodevops/)\n- [Custom file templates for self-managed instances](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/administration/settings/instance_template_repository.html)\n\n---\n\n## [GitLab 11.4](/releases/2018/10/22/gitlab-11-4-released/)\n\n### Feature Flags\n\nFeature Flags are a no-brainer to make software deliver easier, so you knew we'd eventually\nwant to include them in the GitLab single application. With the 11.4 release (October 2018) we delivered on\nthis promise by adding [Feature Flags](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/operations/feature_flags.html),\nhelping teams to achieve continuous delivery by offering better options for incrementally\nrolling out changes and separating feature delivery from customer launch.\n\n![Feature Flags](https://about.gitlab.com/images/11_4/feature_flags.png){: .shadow.medium.center}\n\n### `only/except` rules for changes to files\n\nA very popular requested feature, in 11.4 we added the ability within the\n`.gitlab-ci.yml` to [use `only`/`except` rules for jobs](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/ci/yaml/#only--except)\nbased on when modifications occur to a specific file or path (or glob). This allowed\nfor even more smarts in the pipeline, especially for monorepo/microservice-type\nuse cases, where the pipeline behavior can be optimized based on the changed files\nin the repository.\n\n![Only Except Changes](https://about.gitlab.com/images/11_4/verify-onlyexceptchanges.png){: .shadow.medium.center}\n\n### Timed incremental rollouts\n\nTeams already had the ability within Auto DevOps to set up incremental rollouts,\nbut with this release we added an option to also set up [timed incremental rollouts](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/topics/autodevops/#timed-incremental-rollout-to-production)\nwhere the rollout will automatically continue forward on a timed cadence, making\nsure there is no error before continuing. This helped us push our vision for safe,\ncontinous deployment forward by providing teams with a new tool to have control over\ntheir code rollouts.\n\n![Timed Incremental Rollouts](https://about.gitlab.com/images/11_4/timed_incremental_rollouts.png){: .shadow.medium.center}\n\n### Other highlights\n\n- [Moving `includes` from Starter to Core](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/ci/yaml/#include)\n- [Auto DevOps support for RBAC](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/topics/autodevops/)\n- [Filter admin runners view by type/state](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/ci/runners/)\n- [Support for interactive web terminals with Docker executor](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/ci/interactive_web_terminal/)\n- [Delayed jobs for pipelines](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/ci/yaml/#whendelayed)\n\n---\n\n## [GitLab 11.5](/releases/2018/11/22/gitlab-11-5-released/)\n\n### Access control for Pages\n\nWith the 11.5 release (November 2018) we delivered a fantastic community-contributed feature which enabled\naccess control for Pages. From now on, instead of only supporting use cases where the\ncontent associated with the product is public, you could use Pages to build and\npublish protected content that should [only be accessible by project members](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/project/pages/introduction.html#gitlab-pages-access-control).\nOperational documentation, internal secrets, or even just private planning or\nother information can now be confidently published via your pipelines in an\neasy-to-access way, with confidence that only the right people are able to see it.\n\n![Access Control Pages](https://about.gitlab.com/images/11_5/access-control-pages.png){: .shadow.medium.center}\n\n### Deploy Knative to your Kubernetes cluster\n\nBuilding [serverless applications](/topics/serverless/) enables teams to focus their time on making a\ngreat product and eliminates the need of provisioning, managing, and operating\nservers. Starting in GitLab 11.5, we enabled [deploying Knative to your existing Kubernetes cluster](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/update/removals.html)\nwith a single click using the GitLab Kubernetes integration. Knative is a\nKubernetes-based platform to build, deploy, and manage modern serverless workloads.\nTasks that were once difficult, such as source-to-container builds, routing and\nmanaging traffic, and scaling-to-zero, now work effortlessly out of the box.\n\n![KNative](https://about.gitlab.com/images/11_5/knative.png){: .shadow.medium.center}\n\n### Parallel attribute for faster pipelines\n\nThe speed to delivery in a CI/CD environment can oftentimes be limited by the time it takes to complete the various tests in order to ensure the code is able to be shipped. With the `parallel` keyword in GitLab CI/CD, teams can quickly and easily parallelize these tests – accelerating the testing process and overall time to delivery.\n\n![Parallel](https://about.gitlab.com/images/11_5/parallel-keyword.png){: .shadow.medium.center}\n\n### Other highlights\n\n- [Review Apps can now link directly to changed pages](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/ci/environments/index.html#going-from-source-files-to-public-pages)\n- [New CI/CD syntax for security, quality, and performance report types](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/ci/yaml/#artifactsreports)\n- [Additional information about deployments in merge requests](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/project/merge_requests/index.html#pipeline-status-in-merge-requests)\n\n---\n\n## [GitLab 11.6](/releases/2018/12/22/gitlab-11-6-released/)\n\n### GitLab Serverless\n\nBuilding on the Knative integration introduced in the previous month, 11.6's new, more\ncomprehensive [Serverless](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/update/removals.html)\ncapability enabled users to easily define functions in their repository and have\nthem served and managed by Knative. Cloud native is such an important part of our\nroadmap, and it was really exciting to launch this feature while I was at KubeCon\nno less.\n\nBy simply defining your function data in the repo’s `serverless.yml` file and\nusing a `.gitlab-ci.yml` template, each function will be deployed to your cluster,\nwith Knative taking care of scaling your function based on request volume. This\nenables application developers to iterate quickly without having to worry about\nprovisioning or managing infrastructure.\n\n![Serverless](https://about.gitlab.com/images/11_6/serverless.png){: .shadow.medium.center}\n\n### Run pipeline jobs for merge requests\n\nRunning a given job only when dealing with a merge request was made much easier in 11.6. Using the\n`merge_requests` value with `only/except` keywords will allow you to configure jobs\nto run [only or except when in the context of a merge request](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/ci/pipelines/merge_request_pipelines.html).\nThis allows finer control over pipeline behavior, and also provides access to new\nenvironment variables indicating the target branch and merge request ID to be used\nfor additional automated behaviors.\n\n![Merge Request Pipelines](https://about.gitlab.com/images/11_6/verify-mergerequestpipelines.png){: .shadow.medium.center}\n\n### Other highlights\n\n- [Kubernetes clusters for groups](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/group/clusters/)\n- [Pipelines are now deletable via API](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/api/pipelines.html#delete-a-pipeline)\n- [Trigger variables are now hidden in UI by default](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/ci/triggers/)\n\n---\n\n## [GitLab 11.7](/releases/2019/01/22/gitlab-11-7-released/)\n\n### Releases page\n\nThe 11.7 release (January 2019) added the ability to [create releases in GitLab](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/project/releases/index.html)\nand view them on a summary page. Releases are a snapshot in time of the source,\nlinks, and other metadata or artifacts associated with a released version of your\ncode, and helps users of your project to easily discover the latest releases\nof your software.\n\nThis is a feature that was, as a career release manager, near and dear to my heart.\nI have so many plans around [Release Orchestration](/direction/release/release_orchestration/)\nthat build on this feature as a foundation. Being able to tie a milestone to\na release, a feature coming very soon, will open the door to tying together all\nkinds of interesting things happening in GitLab to a release. This isn't my forward-looking\nblog post so I won't go too far here, but I'll just say I can't wait to\ngo on that journey to build something really unique and powerful together with our users.\n\n![Releases Page](https://about.gitlab.com/images/11_7/release-releases_page.png){: .shadow.medium.center}\n\n### Expand upstream/downstream pipelines across projects\n\nWith 11.7 it became possible to [expand upstream or downstream cross-project pipelines](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/ci/pipelines/index.html#visualize-pipelines)\nright from the pipeline view, giving you visibility into your end-to-end pipelines,\nno matter in which project they start or finish. It's one pattern we've been seeing\nmore and more of in GitLab, and we're adding more features to support. The reality of\ncontinuous delivery is complex orchestration across projects and even groups, so\nthis is a feature that was nice to get out the door to help make this easier.\n\n![Cross-Project Pipelines](https://about.gitlab.com/images/11_7/release-pipeline_expansion.png){: .shadow.medium.center}\n\n### NPM package repository\n\nIn January we also started offering [NPM registries](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/packages/npm_registry/index.html)\nbuilt directly into GitLab. From this point teams can share a simple package-naming\nconvention to utilize that library in any Node.js project, and NPM and GitLab will\ndo the rest – all from a single, easy-to-use interface. Yet another step on our path\nto enable all kinds of repositories, built right into GitLab when you need them.\n\n![NPM Packages](https://about.gitlab.com/images/11_7/npm_package_view.png){: .shadow.medium.center}\n\n### Other highlights\n\n- [Ability to configure Kubernetes app secrets as variables in Auto DevOps](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/topics/autodevops/#application-secret-variables)\n- [API support for Kubernetes integration](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/api/project_clusters.html)\n- [Short commit SHA available as environment variable](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/ci/variables/predefined_variables.html)\n- [Authorization support for fetching includes](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/ci/yaml/#include)\n- [Skip CI builds during git push with `skip_ci` keyword](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/ci/pipelines/#skip-a-pipeline)\n\n---\n\n## [GitLab 11.8](/releases/2019/02/22/gitlab-11-8-released/)\n\n### `trigger:` keyword for pipelines\n\nEven as of GitLab 9.3 you were able to create multi-project pipelines by triggering\na downstream pipeline via a GitLab API call in your job. In GitLab 11.8 (February 2019), we added\nfirst-class support for triggering these downstream pipelines with the [`trigger:`](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/ci/yaml/#trigger)\nkeyword, instead of requiring teams to make an API call to trigger the downstream\npipeline. A bit more for those cross-project use cases that makes everything just\na little bit nicer to use.\n\n![Trigger](https://about.gitlab.com/images/11_8/multi_project_pipeline_graph.png){: .shadow.medium.center}\n\n### Pages support for subgroups\n\nPages was updated in 11.8 to [work with subgroups in GitLab](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/administration/pages/),\ngiving you the ability to create Pages sites at that level as well. Sites set up in this\nway will have a URL in the format of `toplevel-group.gitlab.io/subgroup/project`,\nmaking them very easy to find.\n\n![Pages for SubGroups](https://about.gitlab.com/images/11_8/release-pages-subgroups.png){: .shadow.medium.center}\n\n### Other highlights\n\n- [Several new templates for getting started quickly with GitLab Pages](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/project/pages/#getting-started)\n- [Auto DevOps support for environment-specific custom domain](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/topics/autodevops/#environment-variables)\n- [Feature Flags was improved by making them environment-aware](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/operations/feature_flags.html#define-environment-specs)\n- [CI_PAGES and CI_PAGES_URL added as helpful variables accessible to Pages pipelines](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/project/pages/)\n- [.html extensions are now automatically resolved for Pages sites](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/project/pages/)\n- [Tolerations were added to the Kubernetes executor](https://docs.gitlab.com/runner/executors/kubernetes.html#the-keywords)\n- [A new cleanup procedure for the Container Registry](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/api/container_registry.html#delete-a-repository-tag)\n- [Force redeploy when Auto DevOps secrets are updated](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/topics/autodevops/#environment-variables)\n\n---\n\n## [GitLab 11.9](/releases/2019/03/22/gitlab-11-9-released/)\n\n### Feature Flag auditability\n\nWith the 11.9 release (March 2019), operations like adding, removing, or changing Feature Flags\nare now [recorded in the GitLab audit log](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/administration/audit_events.html),\ngiving you visibility into what is changing and when. If you’re having an incident\nand need to see what changed recently, or just need to look back as an auditor on\nhow your feature flags have been modified, this is now very easy to do. We have\nbig plans for Feature Flags, and also compliance built right into your pipelines.\nIt was great to knock out a two-for-one with this one.\n\n![Feature Flag audit events](https://about.gitlab.com/images/11_9/release-ffaudit.png){: .shadow.medium.center}\n\n### Security templates for pipelines\n\nGitLab security features evolve very fast, and they always need to be up to\ndate to be effective and protect your code. We know that changing the job\ndefinition is difficult if you have to manage multiple projects. As of this release we\ninclude bundled security templates [directly into your configuration](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/application_security/sast/#configuring-sast),\nand have them updated with your system every time you upgrade to a new version of\nGitLab, without any change to any pipeline configuration required. Security plus\nreusability, a great combination.\n\n![Security Templates](https://about.gitlab.com/images/11_9/templates.png){: .shadow.medium.center}\n\n### Other highlights\n\n- [Project templates for .NET, Go, iOS, and Pages](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/project/working_with_projects.html#built-in-templates)\n- [Run specific jobs on merge requests only when files change](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/ci/jobs/job_control.html#use-onlychanges-with-merge-request-pipelines)\n- [Auto DevOps build jobs for tags](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/topics/autodevops/#auto-build)\n\n---\n\n## [GitLab 11.10](/releases/2019/04/22/gitlab-11-10-released/)\n\n### Pipeline dashboard\n\nIn 11.10 (April 2019) we added [pipeline status information to the Operations Dashboard](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/operations_dashboard/).\nThis helps teams view the pipeline health of all the projects that they care about,\nall together in a single interface. Yet another step towards making pipelines across\nyour instance easy to understand and follow, this one was built in real-time coordination\nwith a customer, which is always a nice way to get something done. You get to build\nsomething that solves a real problem and collaborate directly with the folks who\nneed it.\n\n![Pipeline Dashboard](https://about.gitlab.com/images/11_10/cross-project-pipelines-dashboard.gif){: .shadow.medium.center}\n\n### Pipelines on merge results\n\nWhen working in a feature branch, it’s normal to have it diverge over\ntime from the target branch if you aren’t rebasing frequently. This can result\nin a situation where both the source and target branch’s pipelines are green and\nthere are no merge conflicts, but the combined output will result in a failed\npipeline due to an incompatibility between the changes.\n\nWith 11.10 it became possible for a pipeline to automatically create a new ref that\ncontains the combined merge result of the source and target branch, then\n[run the pipeline against that ref](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/ci/pipelines/merge_request_pipelines.html)\n(what we call an `attached` state). In this way, GitLab can help teams keep their\nmaster branch green even when they have many teams merging into the release branch.\n\nTools and techniques built right into GitLab for keeping master green was a big\nfocus in the last few releases of 11.x, and will remain so for 12.x as well. Look\nfor [merge trains](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ee/issues/9186) to be built\non top of this foundation, and some really cool enhancements around sequencing and\nparallelization of them.\n\n![Merge Ref Pipeline](https://about.gitlab.com/images/11_10/merge_request_pipeline.png){: .shadow.medium.center}\n\n### Composable Auto DevOps\n\nAuto DevOps enables teams to adopt modern DevOps practices with little to no effort.\nStarting in GitLab 11.10 each job of Auto DevOps was made available as an\nindependent template. Using the includes feature of GitLab CI, users can [choose to bring in\nonly certain stages of Auto DevOps](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/topics/autodevops/#using-components-of-auto-devops) while continuing to use their own custom\n`gitlab-ci.yml` for the rest. This helps teams to use just the desired jobs, while\ntaking advantage of any updates made upstream.\n\n![Composable Auto DevOps](https://about.gitlab.com/images/11_10/composable-auto-devops.png){: .shadow.medium.center}\n\n### Other highlights\n\n- [More thorough Container Registry cleanup](https://docs.gitlab.com/omnibus/maintenance/#removing-unused-layers-not-referenced-by-manifests)\n- [Ability to purchase CI add-on runner minutes](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/administration/settings/continuous_integration.html#extra-shared-runners-pipeline-minutes-quota)\n- [Change the cloning path for pipelines](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/ci/runners/configure_runners.html#custom-build-directories)\n- [Simple masking of protected variables in logs](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/ci/variables/#masked-variables)\n- [Enable/disable Auto DevOps at the group level](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/topics/autodevops/#enablingdisabling-auto-devops-at-the-group-level)\n- [Group-level runners for group-level clusters](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/group/clusters/#installing-applications)\n- [Control over `git clean` flags in pipeline jobs](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/ci/runners/configure_runners.html#git-clean-flags)\n\n---\n\n## [GitLab 11.11](/releases/2019/05/22/gitlab-11-11-released/)\n\n### Windows Container Executor\n\nIn GitLab 11.11 (May 2019) we were very pleased to add a new executor to the GitLab Runner\nfor using [Docker containers on Windows](https://docs.gitlab.com/runner/executors/docker.html#using-windows-containers).\nPreviously, using the shell executor to orchestrate Docker commands was the primary\napproach for Windows, but with this update you are now able to use Docker\ncontainers on Windows directly, in much the same way as if they were on Linux\nhosts. This opened up the door for more advanced kinds of pipeline orchestration\nand management for our users of Microsoft platforms.\n\nAlso included with this update was improved support for PowerShell throughout GitLab\nCI/CD, as well as new helper images for various versions of Windows containers.\n\n![Windows Executor](https://about.gitlab.com/images/11_11/windows-container.png){: .shadow.medium.center}\n\n### Caching proxy for Container Registry\n\nLots of teams are using containers as part of their build pipelines, and our new\n[caching proxy](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/packages/dependency_proxy/index.html) for\nfrequently used upstream images/packages introduced a great way to speed them up.\nBy keeping a copy of needed layers locally using the new caching proxy, you can\neasily improve execution performance for the commonly used images in your environment.\n\n![Dependency Proxy](https://about.gitlab.com/images/11_11/dependency-proxy-mvc.png){: .shadow.medium.center}\n\n### Chat notifications for deployments\n\nIn 11.11 deployment events were available to be [automatically shared in your team’s channel](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/project/integrations/)\nthrough our Slack and Mattermost chat integrations, helping bring visibility to\nthese important activities that your teams need to be aware of.\n\n![Notifications](https://about.gitlab.com/images/11_11/release-slack-notification.png){: .shadow.medium.center}\n\n### Guest Access for Releases\n\nIt also became possible in this release for [guest users of your projects to view releases](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/permissions.html#releases-permissions)\nthat you have published on the Releases page. They will be able to download your\npublished artifacts, but are prevented from downloading the source code or seeing\nrepository information such as tags and commits.\n\n![Guest Releases](https://about.gitlab.com/images/11_7/release-releases_page.png){: .shadow.medium.center}\n\n### Other highlights\n\n- [Add-on runner minutes extended to free plans](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/administration/settings/continuous_integration.html#extra-shared-runners-pipeline-minutes-quota)\n- [Access deployment details through environments API](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/api/environments.html#get-a-specific-environment)\n- [Create a file directly from environment variable](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/ci/variables/#variable-types)\n- [Run all manual jobs for a stage in one click](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/ci/pipelines/index.html#add-manual-interaction-to-your-pipeline)\n\n---\n\n## In conclusion\n\nPhew... that was a lot of great features, and the team here at GitLab is really proud of\nwhat we delivered with this series of GitLab releases. I hope you found something\nthat you can take advantage of in your own CI/CD process. If you're interested in\nseeing where we're heading next, head over to our [CI/CD strategy page](/direction/ops/)\nand check out what's coming. Also, be sure to check out our 12.0 release post coming out on the 22nd of this month.\n\nOne of the things you may have noticed is that we frequently add new iterations\non our features, even month to month. We have a lot more iterations planned, both\nfor new and existing features, but what would you like to see in the next\nversion of your favorite feature? We'd love to hear – let us know in the\ncomments below.\n\nPhoto by [Zoltan Tasi](https://unsplash.com/photos/O_mBXldZ0hc?utm_source=unsplash&utm_medium=referral&utm_content=creditCopyText) on
