GitLab Patch Release: 14.8.1

Today we are releasing version 14.8.1 for GitLab Community Edition and Enterprise Edition.

This version resolves a number of regressions and bugs in this month's 14.8 release and prior versions.

GitLab Community Edition and Enterprise Edition

• Fix toolbar buttons in Markdown field
• Revert: Link by commit and name for pipeline
• Stop backup files from requiring directories to exist when skipped
• Allow assigning users with private profiles with quick-actions

Important notes on upgrading

This version does not include any new migrations, and for multi-node deployments, should not require any downtime.

Please be aware that by default the Omnibus packages will stop, run migrations, and start again, no matter how “big” or “small” the upgrade is. This behavior can be changed by adding a /etc/gitlab/skip-auto-reconfigure file, which is only used for updates.
