### GitLab 5.2 released
Hi everyone!
Today we release GitLab v5.2. We added forks, code search, turbolinks and much more awesome stuff.
### The 4 most important improvements in GitLab 5.2
1. Forking. You can a fork project into its own namespace now.
2. Code search. You search inside the project with a search bar on top panel.
3. Turbolinks. GitLab is much faster because almost all requests does not reload the page.
4. Shared deploy keys. You can use a deploy key for as many projects as you need and one project can use multiple keys.
This release most valuable person (MVP) is __Angus MacArthur__ for contributing the forking feature, thanks Angus!
### Changes
New Features:
* Forks
* Code search
* Turbolinks
* Shared Deploy keys
* Advanced gfm autocomplete

Security:

* You can push to git-http with ldap credentials
Fixed:
* Git submodules listing under Files tab
* Commit page error if there is a huge diff
