This is an exciting day. Today we release GitLab 7.8, the biggest release of GitLab ever. This release alone contains over 60 entries in the [GitLab CE changelog](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/blob/7-8-stable/CHANGELOG)!
We're very proud to show you the new features and improvements of GitLab Community Edition (CE) and GitLab Enterprise Edition.

GitLab Community edition brings among others, a GitLab.com importer,
new files in an empty repository, never-lost comments and group mentions.
GitLab Enterprise Edition adds to this the GitLab Annex feature to manage your large files with GitLab, improved JIRA integration and a GitHub Enterprise integration.

This month's Most Valuable Person ([MVP](https://about.gitlab.com/mvp/)) is <NAME>.
Hannes took stale or old merge requests, fixed them up and contributed them to GitLab.
This is a great way to contribute and we're excited for him to join the core team.<commit_msg>Link to the changelog in master.<commit_after>---
